Hi, I understand the recommended article length on Hubpages is 700-1250 words. Will articles longer than 1250 words always be rejected for featured status?
I have to say, Kenny, I love your "A Brief History of Booping the Snoot".
We have six snoots to boop. It keeps us busy.

No. Poetry can take just 300 words. And it can be feature. And yes, lenght varied for topical articles. The 1250 word lenght is hubpages minimum. Google nowadays like both short and long word articles.
Like others, I also have some really long articles and none have been rejected because of the word count.
No. Some of us have featured articles of several thousand words. I seem to recall that Google, which determines the success or failure of all writer's lives, prefers longer articles these days.
To date, I've written nearly 100 "very long" American nostalgia articles at HubPages. All but one of them are on HobbyLark and the other one is on Owlcation. Since I started writing the articles back in August 2018, I've never had a problem with any HP editor over the length.
As far as Google's attitude on long and short articles, I am not really sure where they stand. There are hundreds of factors that Google takes into account when "ranking" a webpage in the organic search listings, and page length is only one of them. Those rankings can also change by the microsecond and from device to device.
By the way, I've begin to synonymously look at my articles as webpages, because that is really how Google looks at our articles.
No, Google is adamant he looks at them anonymously.
Even my featured articles consist of some of those that are of 1500 to 2500 words. My control over the English language is not as perfect as of most other writers here.

I have finally published a hub that has been deemed unfeatured. I can only direct my attention to a table I inserted which was long when viewed on the mobile platform. Grammar is checked, titles tweaked, content is solid as its in the same vein as my other articles. Do you think this could be it?...

I tend to write longer articles for Hubpages (2000 plus words). Would I get more traffic if I wrote two 1000 word or three 700 word articles on related subjects rather than one longer article? Please let me know your experiences and thoughts.

Lately I have noticed how most of my articles that have been there for a long time, are being marked as not featured. And even after trying to "fix" them they are placed in the same stage over and over again. Considering the kind of "pay" we get for our effort, it seems kind of...

Hi there,I was preparing a hub for publishing. After I finished my article, it has slightly more than 2000 words in total. So my question is, whether this article has the potential for getting more traffic or not?
