"Link to this page" doesn't show on all my hubs
We apply the NOINDEX meta tag to hubs that are being accessed through a non-canonical URL. This prevents google from seeing the same content at two different URLs (something that they may penalize us for). When we apply NOINDEX, we also remove the "link to this page" at the bottom because we'd prefer people link to the canonical url.
As an example, this non-canonical url could be clicked on from Hubtivity, and will take you directly to the comment:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Friends-A-diffe … ent=422065
while this is the canonical url for the hub:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Friends-A-different-angle
What we ought to do is to leave the link to this page button in place but just use the canonical url in the link. I just opened up a bug, not sure when we'll get it fixed though.
In the mean time, you should be able to work around it by just removing the ? and anything after it from the URL manually.

It doesn't appear to have any other articles yet. Not sure if I should be thankful or cautious. What do you think? Should I ask it be removed,...
