What is the expected respond time?

   I got a poorly worded to the point of being offensive email from the team about one of my hubs that got unpublished. I replied with a request for clarification. Almost 24 hours passed since. I am wondering, how long I have to wait for the response?
   
   Now, I keep quiet about one of my workers waiting about two weeks for response after she got banned for dupe hubs, this might sound reasonable, considering the current team load. However, established hubbers like myself do expect to be treated at least with some degree of courtesy and promptness. Am I way off with my expectations?

      What the email actually said was:
      
      Substandard - Unfinished or unlikely to be useful to HubPages readers; possibly generated automatically by a translation or article 'spinning' tool
      
      I see that you left the last part out.  Generating hub content or promoting hubs by using an article spinner is, and always has been a violation of our terms of use.  Do you deny that you've done this on the hub in question?

         I did not leave anything out, it was posted in full on another thread, where it was more appropriate.
         
         And I never made a secret of spinning some hubs, search the forums.

   Hey Misha, opening threads like this, as of lately, as been more effective than emailing them and waiting for a response.
   
   However, most of my past experience with Staff is pretty prompt. I would say about 24-48, sometimes 72 hours, on average.

      I can only assume their new staff are responsible for this, as they will not recognise a name.
      I am also surprised that you had one that fell outwith the new guidelines as your hubs always seem to be to be wordy and interesting. Not that you have that many
      I'm just surprised at some of the things that have been happening recently, and this is is one of them.

               I'm not writing any more hubs for the rest of this year as most of my hubs need re-writing and tinkering with and plus I've started two other Wordpress sites and one needs a lot of work and that's an article directory!
               
               Not to mention I've started two other YouTube accounts under a secret alias!
               
               Hubpages will recover, just it'll take time. Had a look at my stats and I've lost over a 1,000 views from what the average was. But these things are sent to test us and annoy us! ah well, chin up!

   The issue as i see it:
   
   Hubpages changed the rules, they have not changed the rules with any satisfactory explanation, they havent had any solid communication about why they think certain changes are anything but experiments.
   
   The change to placement and number of capsules hit me hard. To the tune of nearly 200 hubs that needed editing.
   
   I have an ePn account. Which means I very often used ePn and Amazon side by side for price comparison. This is  a plus for a reader - comparative analysis.
   
   I also believe and use the Goldilocks rule - I use blocks of 3 for my ads.
   
   I feel this is aesthetically pleasing and also brings the proper amount of attention to the products.
   
   
   This WORKS, my conversion rate is good and my traffic is targetted and most importantly my time on page is high and my adsense ctr has always been low (my readers arent leaving instantly via adsense ad because they were turned off)
   
   I also frequently used a single amazon and ebay ad side by side at the top of the page.
   
   As the deadline neared and i still had a hundred hubs to fix, most of them completely mangled by having to just delete capsules I started to place a text block on the top and place a single sentence in this text capsule.
   
   The NEW rule was no products in first capsule. My first capsule was a text capsule. Now Im getting an email that this is "circumventing" the rules.
   
   So, obviously, the rules are not written clearly enough. Apparently , the rule should be no product capsule until x amount of words are on the page.
   
   SO WHY NOT WRITE THE RULES CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!
   
   Now, I am going back through these hubs anyway as they are all mangled and need overhauls.
   
   But when they unpublish our hubs and Google swings by and they are missing - that hurts your ranking ..when they take 24,48,72 hours to republish, then they are hurting us (and themselves) for months.
   
   
   All of our hubs were perfectly in synch with TOS before they changed the rules. They are moving too fast and being quite disrespectful to their existing user base. If anything, they should be sending personal emails, creating tickets and sending well explained editorial requests ; leaving the hubs published and setting deadlines at an individual level for the corrections based on how extensive they may be.
   
   
   
   This random unpublish crap is for the birds and is very unprofessional and disrespectful. I dont want to hear anything about "plenty of notice" either, my list was hundreds of hubs long, wasnt numbered etc..Many hubs slipped through when I was going through and editing.
   
   Before February my portfolio made HP several thousand dollars over the last 4 months, thats not chump change. We get hit hard by the google algo flip and then have to deal with HP's random unexplained changes!
   
   Ive seen a blog post or two that states that HP is currently pulling peoples hubs for "keyword density" issues. I havent seen that issue reported by staff in the forums or in TOS. Now keyword stuffing is way outdated and not a useful strategy. But should Hubbers be getting hubs pulled for that issue! Without any prior statement?
   
   InfoBarrel has a density tool for exactly that reason, many Hubbers have no conception of what Keyword density even is and certainly should be getting warnings, at least a week to make corrections PER HUB and even a nice lesson written up by HUbStaff that explains what it is and a tool created that can help them discern whether they are writing in an artificial manner.
   
   and wow, Misha up there, has 20 hubs, all of which must have been read thousands of times, with his high profile I bet many were flagged for all sorts of BS reasons by angry forum freaks and PCunixuses etc., yet the hubs have remained, yet somehow now one is not up to par? after 4 years and all the green and education he has brought this place, he cant get a personal ticket number with a speedy response time?
   
   
   So, in brief, , my issue is small, I'll just delete a few hundred more amazon capsules to make certain Im on par with whatever the unwritten rule is, but I will make it well known that the issue they are coming at me with HAS NOT ever been publicly stated to us before. I dont have any products in the first position, I have them in the second position following a text capsule with a descriptive sentence.
   
   By monday evening, ill probably just not have any ad capsules at all.
   
   This sure isnt a set and forget place that you can just create and earn from anymore, and Im pretty sure thats exactly what the hubpages splash screen i signed up on said

      Mark Knowlesposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      It certainly is not set and forget any more. I have spent the last month scrambling around working out what did not meet the new rules and changing them - without a word of explanation from hubpages. Personally - I think this is nonsense because I have sites with 50 words of text and 100 ebay items per page that are doing just fine thanks.
      
      But - my conversion rate and epn cpc have fallen so low, I am seriously considering removing all amazon and ebay capsules. This is a LOT of work though. All non productive, panic-based damage control.
      
      I usually like to do things with a plan in mind. Like Misha and yourself - I would appreciate some word from on high as to what the new plan is and some form of personal communication.
      
      I too was making good money here and assume HP was as well. I know this is a stressful time for all concerned, but when a member like Misha is not getting looked after and I am asked to work - yes - work - with no explanations or even likely financial reward - quite the opposite actually - I start to get upset.
      
      Personally - I think this capsule removal is not going to strengthen the site until the thousands of pages of spam garbage selling weight loss berries, penis enhancement products and miracle cancer cures from god are taken off.
      
      http://hubpages.com/search/include:hubs+cure+cancer
      
      I am starting to get worried also. How much work is ahead of me? I see a new list of "forbidden topics" that include gambling. I ask if my hubs on poker break the rules, get told "no" because they do not talk about betting real money - but - they do. I talk about betting real money in some of them because that is what poker is about. So now I am in a dilemma. Do I edit these into meaningless nonsense for adsense clicks? Wait until they get flagged next month and unpublished without warning?
      
      I have not had many hubs unpublished myself and usually get a speedy response when I have an issue, so I am shocked that Misha has not had a reply.

      Agreee with this entirely, I have watched my conversion rate sink like a stone with the new rules on Ad capsules.
      
      I think Hubpages incorrectly identified amazon/ebay capsules as a cause of low SERPS. Let me explain
      
      Spam Hubs often contain low quality, poorly put together text and often contain a large number of ad capsules.
      
      Sales Hubs are targeted, use SEO optimized sales text and have specifically designed ad layouts to optimize conversions, these also often require a large number of ad capsules.
      
      Low Quality text got hit hard in the update, and I feel as though the knee jerk reaction against spam hubs caught sales hubs simply because we both use large numbers of capsules. I do not think Amazon or ebay capsules cause a drop in SERPs, I think bad quality content does that.

Some I ended up deleting, some I re-wrote text and moved things around and others I stripped almost bare of amazon and ebay.

    @Misha, @Mark, @SunForged, I sensed it that HubPages have got lots of work doing since the panda, may be given the grace of 48hrs to respond, anyway the did respond with care 48hrs after my first mail to the team regarding recent changes, updates and how it affected me. In fact, Google, Adsense and HubPages shocks lately have really librated me for good, making sure I run and focus with own sites and sure relative alternatives. 

    
    I even wrote to Google, Adsense and a few others encouraging them to always carry us(publishers) along with care. G, Adsense weren't this famous 8 years ago. They should also watch it and value us with proper care and considerations. It will get better.

       Andrew - it is not that simple, nor do I believe it will majikally get better without some active help from us - which doesn't include writing to google and pleading our case. I have invested considerable time, effort and money into hubpages and wish to protect that investment to the best of my abilities.
       
       This lack of communication to well established presences is disturbing. I have not had any communication from hubpages about the recent changes other than "these are the new rules - you have until this date to bring your hubs into compliance or they may be deleted."
       
       This bothers me. It also bothers some other people judging by this thread and a few others I have seen, because there is no reasoning behind it other than "we think 50 words per article featured is right." They can only have based this on some metric that suggested hubs with 50 words per item featured were hit less than the ones that had less than 50. This cannot be correct, because the pages I have lost the most traffic to were well within this limit.
       
       Now - I understand that the admins have much greater access to information than I do, but none of us work well in the dark, and I suspect that the hubs that were not hit so badly were hubs with incidental amazon/ebay capsules in so I do not think this change is going to help.
       
       I am trying to protect myself and the site - they need the active help of the community and I am ready, willing and able to do that - but emails from Simone challenging me to be a better writer with spelling mistakes and poor grammar in the first paragraph and apparently random deletions of well-established hubs and hubbers are not encouraging me at all.

       I told one of Google(adsense staff) who cared to respond to my several mails on the importance for them to cautiously watch the way the treat people with partiality and less care as the were not this famous and dominant 8yrs ago. And anything can happen especially when people feel not satisfied or hurted with less care in any involvements, anyone can predict the uncertain future of such concerned providers if nothing is done to correct it.

    We apologize for the inconvenience and understand that you have other priorities, please make said trivial corrections within 72 hours (our normal turnaround rate) or we will unfortunately have to take the drastic measure of unpublishing your work and potentially causing a short term loss in your Hubs positioning.
    
    ( i release this template for staff to use for training if necessary)
    
    Unpublishing is a drastic measure that should be reserved for willful and intentional misuse of the platform. They could block new publishing until past hubs (that were identified and described) were brought into compliance, they could set individual deadlines etc.
    
    But to unpublish and dally on the republish is inexcusable, unprofessional and is very much something that will tarnish this sites reputation with online writers. Its an inappropriate editorial process for established users.
    
    I shouldnt have an extra headache on my hands simply because I committed and invested more time into the site and produced hundreds of individual hubs.

       I've been feeling the same way. The moderator comments on my pulled hubs have gone from "Too many products" to much harsher and shrill "Overly Promotional." The only thing on those hubs were ebay capsules and text promoting ebay.
       
       Reading betwee the lines. They've made it so ambiguos they can get rid of any hub they just don't like without really setting new clear policies. My head is spinning every time I try to write a hub that just might make some money. Because the hubs I write that they like, don't make a cent.

          I agree that there's been very little transparency or communication, and changes have happened quite haphazardly. But more than that, I am getting the distinct impression that they no longer want "product" hubs.

    there was a HP blog post a few weeks ago that said changes were coming in the next couple of weeks and to be patient...I expected that a blog post regarding those changes would explain it.  I hope one is coming soon.
    
    After a few weeks with the reduction in RSS feeds and the 50 words per product rule, I haven't seen any adjustment in my SERPS nor my traffic.  I don't expect instantaneous results, but after a while, I did expect some sort of movement (up, that is).
    
    Maybe they need more time to evaluate whether this change worked or not?  So far, it doesn't appear to have done much except for hurting my interlinking of hubs and dropped my views further.
    
    I had thought it good to link common-theme hubs together with an RSS - if the reader was interested in pink BBQ's, maybe he would be interested in my other hub on purple BBQs - I listened to their advice and reduced a LOT of the RSS on each hub, but the only effect has been a further reduction in views.

    It Is NOT Solely Sales Hubs that have been wrecked Here!
    
    It is All Hubs within HP
    
    It has also got to do with the highly questionable 'Juicing' Practice that's been going on - You're into SEO Oli.. I'm sure you understand what I'm saying! ... Why don't you explore that avenue?  
    
    The Real PROBLEM Is Not The One That is being Promoted Here Mate!  It Is 'What Is NOT' Being Said... NOT What Is!
    
    Why has the management here found No Value in laying out a Broad-brush Strategic Plan that takes care of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats?
    Communicate some degree of confidence... that is the glaringly obvious tip of the ice berg!
    NO Human People Skills... Absolutely None.. And Misha, Josh & Mark... Totally Agree... Keep PD in the Mix huh?

    Do you, guys, seriously think that staff can possibly give a personal responce to everybody? To all 200,000 whatever hubbers?
    We just have to wait, I think, till changes are complete and then lick our wounds and move forward.    i know, it's easer to say...

       Where on earth do you find those adorable, entertaining, animated emoticons?  That one really looks like a movie!  Certainly better than some films I've seen recently.

       Well Alla, if you are content with being treated like shit, I am not. Sorry, we certainly don't see eye to eye on this one.

          While I do not necessarily agree that you deserve any faster response than anyone else I totally agree that if a coherent set of rules and advice were given you would not be looking for a response in the first place.
          
          The situation has arisen with Google because Hp were not on the ball with the changes, even though they were being talked about by Google well in advance.  There was no effort of any kind to clean up hubs that were patently bad in many ways, no effort to clean up copied content. 
          
          It is not unreasonable to expect HP to have acted much earlier and given better advice.
          
          The current situation is intolerable.  The moderators must have a set of rules and guidelines to work by to unpublish the hubs in the first place - why don't we have them clearly stated somewhere ?   The normal reason for this kind of secrecy is because incorrect diagnosis or mistakes by moderators can be challenged if we know the rules.
          
          The other reason may be that HP don't know for sure that theri changes will work and if they publish everything they are doing then they are again open to challenge.
          
          None of these are good enough reasons to keep their guidebook secret against the huge number of hubs that need changing and re-changing as people guess what to do in some areas.

             Well, considering that to date I brought to the team about $20K directly and god-knows-how-much indirectly, by training and advising other hubbers - I would have thought I might expect to be treated a bit differently than a random spammer, doncha think? Does not mean I pretend to be treated differently than other established hubbers.
             
             As for the rest - I agree. Team seems to be lost and making impulsive movements that are more likely to harm than help.

                ..
                I am adding my opinion also... Hubpages are trying to automate something that cannot be automated, at least not like this, perhaps over a period of x months. Any of the capsules on my material were thought out with my own time spent spent finding the right specific product or the correct search string and then for all that to be lost is a disgrace.
                
                As bad as that is unpublishing material is simply not good enough. Is there a senior person or Director reading these threads that can see that this is a

    It is a bit of a pain to have to update hubs that only need an amazon capsule removing and particularly to have them unpublished while you have to do it and wait for them to be published!!!
    
    I hope this really works in the long run, because many Hubbers will and are getting pissed off with it.
    
    Any that have got flagged I've let them get de-indexed in the search engines and I'll transfer them to my Wordpress blogs as they weren't getting that much traffic anyway.
    
    It's put a bit of a downer on writing more hubs for now, motivation is down, I'd rather create more youtube drawing videos at the moment and then come back and see what's been unpublished next!
    
    Need a break from writing me thinks!
    
    Just having a moan I guess....Things will pick up I'm sure!
