I want to hear any legitimate criticism you can come up with about any of my articles, SEO tactics, etc. I am ready to hear it. Here is one of my hubs:

You mean other than it violating Adsense rules because of drugs?
Which is ridiculous, yes, but it is probably going to get flagged.
Medical marijuana is recomended by a doctor and legal on the state level, and practically the federal level (Obama told the DEA not to prosecute medical marijuana users, even though it is technically illegal still in federal law). That definitely counts as medicine, not illicit drugs. Would there be any problems with a hub dealing with using prescription pain drugs to treat back injuries? Unlikely. Also, I dont think that either google or hubpages want to remove themselves from the medical marijuana advertising business considering how many searches are done relating to that area each month (hundreds of millions). Also, one of my articles has already been flagged for another reason and that was resolved no problem, so I think they probably would have noticed if that article violated their policy, although I would not be too surprised if they did not.
Sorry if I came on a little strong there, I wanna make sure that the hubpages employee who is reading this thread deciding whether to delete my hubs chooses not too.

I thought it would be more engaging for the reader,...

I suppose this means that I should jump in and recast, reformat, and re-invent what had previously been a fully accepted and supported hub.Well, I...

Hi,I've read an e-mail I received with the rules and the ONLY thing I could see was that I had 2 links, so I removed one and still got flagged. I think I followed the rest of the rules. Any suggestions? Here's my hub URL:<snipped>THANKS,

I like to check Hubpages on breaks at work. Now, I can't access my Hub feed because a Hubber chose to write a Hub about drugs, and Hubpages hasn't caught onto it yet. My organization is pretty fair on what it blocks/allows. Usually blocks things about gun violence, cults, and drugs. They also only...

Can you use hubs that have originally been posted on Hubpages on other sites?

I just stumbled on this story and am really impressed. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/2 … 09102.htmlThe story is about Ron Paul's stance that the fed should take a hands off approach to medical marijuana, that it should be down to the states. My only worry is that Obama campaigned...
