   hi all, I really appreciate your input. all of my articles show that they do not meet HP standards so they are not featured at all despite the fact that I really worked hard to make them look professional and tidy. What else should I do and what am I missing? this is just an example article. please do help and suggest:

      These are valid points by both theraggededge and AliciaC. I agree with them. You have to work hard to be a writer who gets published and paid. AI is not the way.

      Hi Shamel,
      I looked at a few of your articles and found a common pattern. As already mentioned, you need to credit your pictures and use pictures that have a suitable license. I also noticed in your tattoo article that 3 of your pictures are repeated.
      The other thing is your Amazon ads. Most likely this is the biggest reason you're not being featured. HubPages is very strict about their usage. You can't just place an ad. If you're going to show an Amazon product not only does it need to be something you have personally used, or in your case a book you have personally read, but you also need to give information about it as if writing a product review. Otherwise, I would remove the ads.
      Try these suggestions and let me know how it goes.

   Can you confirm you didn't use AI? Because the format is exactly how Chat GPT produces text.
   
   All images must be credited and carry a suitable license.

   You should pay close attention to what theraggededge says. Not all of your sentences in your forum question begin with a capital letter, which makes the situation even more suspicious.

   Hi Shamel,
   
   I read the hub you posted and I think it could benefit from the following actions:
   
   1) make sure the formatting is the same throughout, especially when you list items (sometimes you use numbers and sometimes you use hyphens)
   2) check for spelling mistakes, I saw one for example so really make sure you go through the text carefully before publishing
   3) you provide advice (for example practising sport) but there is no link to an authoritative source to back up your statement
   4) there are useful guidelines in Hubpages for new writers and they are worth reading, they include tips like demonstrating why you are an expert in your chosen topic.
   
   I hope this helps!
