Hi,
I joined a week ago and posted three hubs.
http://hubpages.com/profile/btom
I mostly spent time reading what others do.
Can you please advise me if I'm on track, and if you think I'm using the Amazon ads properly and at the best place?
Thank you!
Hi btom.
Welcome to Hubpages. I joined sometime ago, but I haven't written much recently - so there will be other people who can advise you better. I have just read two of your hubs - pigs bedding and the IPad one. You write clearly and with knowledge. My only comment would be is that I think you need to add pictures. The guinea pig one would just capture people's attention. I think this is what most people would say. Enjoy your writing.
I've reviewed your hubs-
http://hubpages.com/hub/Does-the-Pimsle … eally-Work
(a) Not enough content. This hub could be flagged for substandard article. Articles should be 400 words or longer.
(b) Since there isn't enough content in this hub, then you've not run into the a common problem many new members have, such as using more than one text capsule, to open up more ad spaces.
(c) Keywords/tags- You don't have enough of them. On articles up to 1500 words, you can use 9-15 keywords/tags and on articles over 1500 words, you can use up to 40 keywords/tags.

The above hub has the same problem as the previous hub.

The above hub has the same problem as the previous two hubs.
I hope that helps.
Thank you for your helpful comments, I will make some changes soon.

Was hoping to get some feedback on my first hub. The thing that confused me is that when I added photos it seemed to take away points - does that sound right. I do blogging and always feel photos help the reader experience. Still just learning as a hubpages newbie and looking for all tips and...

I have been hub hopping lately and I am disgusted with the incoherent garbage that I am coming across - nothing but poorly translated articles of about 400 words, usually without even any formatting. I would say that more than half of the articles I randomly encounter are clearly nothing but spun...

This exclusive title became unfeatured recently. I changed the headings to more searchable headings and it went into pending - then to my shock it went back into unfeatured.What exactly is wrong with this article? Is it so bad that it cannot pass the Mturk...
