I thought I had done a great job of researching and providing links to my various sources but apparently I have 3 or more links to a single source? (I can't find out what that is) or just too many backlinks (none) or too many links in general(?)-- this is frustrating. Who do I speak to? Thanks
Each hub is allowed as many outbound links as you want, but only two to a single domain. So you can have two links to, let's say, CNN, two to your blog and two to Better Homes & Gardens. But you can't have 3 or 4 to your blog.
You can also get in hot water if you link to, let's say, your blog across all of your hubs. It's call "overly promotional."
