Looking for Guidance on Getting It Featured

1. 0

   TheImranKhanposted 6 weeks ago

   Hello Hubbers,
   
   I'm new to HubPages and have just published my first article. It's related to trade shows and events in the business niche.
   
   While exploring the platform, I came across the idea of "Featured Articles" and I'm a bit curious about how it works. What exactly does it take for an article to get featured here? Is there anything specific I should be focusing on, like formatting, writing style, use of images, or overall structure?
   
   Since I'm still learning how things work, any kind of feedback or tips would be really helpful. I have experience in digital marketing and SEO, but HubPages is a new space for me and I'm looking forward to improving with time.
   
   Thanks in advance for your suggestions and guidance.

      I agree with Bev, and your bio is written in AI. The article is fluff, which doesn't do much for the reader. Get into the grit of renting a booth at a Las Vegas convention. These are super common now, so most companies already know what to do. Answer questions like whether you should set up your booth yourself or hire someone else to do it. Which hotels in Vegas offer booth rentals and set up for guests? I've worked trade shows before. Attending a Las Vegas convention is a big deal and quite an investment. Get into the dollar and cents of renting versus owning.

   Your article already resides on Discover.Hubpages which is as featured as we can get these days. Once your article has passed QAP (Quality Assessment Process) it will become "featured". In other words it will move to Discover where it can be indexed by search engines, appear on Discover's topic pages, or be promoted on other articles under the related articles section.
   
   The help button will help you figure out what kind of quality Hubpages is looking for. In your account settings, you can see the status of each article (featured, not featured due to traffic or quality, and pending).

   Had a look at your article. As an SEO expert you should know that keyword/phrase stuffing is not a good thing.
   
   Also, you haven't explained how to book a booth. There's a subtitle that says "How to Book..." (it doesn't need a question mark as it isn't a question) but there's no info about how to go about it. You can't promote businesses but you need to tell your reader the steps to take. Where do they book it? What do they ask for? Who will help them? Etcetera.
   
   And you must get rid of that link to Expo Stand Services otherwise your article will be unpublished. If you are here to promote it, then know that you are not permitted to do so. It's clearly written in the Terms of Use and the FAQs.
