I regularly use the "suggest links" feature when writing my Hubs. If a Hub of your own comes up in the list of links, can you link to it, or does this constitute a breach for overly/self promotional?
Although some of my Hubs have come up on the list, I have not linked to them this way, for fear of breaching TOS.
You can link to your own - no breaches and no over promotion. The 'overly promotional' rule only applys to outbound links (from the whole of Hubpages) for which you are only allowed two to the same website.
Hope this helps!
you can link to your hub with suggest link option.
you can also link to your hubs manually by using link capsule and rss feed.
you can use text linking to refer to your hubs as well.
All these as many times as you want. NO TOS violation at all.
Only if you link to any outside domain more than 2 times in a hub, or many times from different hubs that will be a TOS violation.
Thanks everyone!
I have linked to my own Hubs inside a text capsule where relevant, but was worried about the"suggested links".
Now I know that it is okay, I will link to my own work if it comes up in the list
The best way to learn is to ask.
one free tips, don't use too much of the suggest link option as it take your readers away from your hub. I personally use it rarely now a days.

You use to be able to highlight a word or two and get a drop down of related Hubs. That don't happen anymore for me. I might get one 'community' style link, but nothing like it use to be with 8 or 10 related hubs you could choose to link too. I just don't see the significance...

When I click on the suggest links for new hubs, I get one or two words highlighted in the first paragraphs and that's it. I also can't highlight my own words or phrases to turn them into a link. I have a lot of hubs, now that can't be linked to any other hubs on HP. Anything...

I just tried using the Suggest Links tool and was dismayed to find that it not only cannot find a city like La Laguna or the town of La Orotava in Tenerife, although I have hubs about these places, it cannot even find any suggestions for Tenerife!
