Why is it that my unique hub on a topic that is the same exact topic as other hubs have be taken down while those others which are set up quite similarly to mine remain up?
I did actually check to see if there were other hubs on the topic before I posted mine to clarify if mine would be acceptable. There was so I created mine but with fresh info and its taken down in 2 days.. soo... what gives?
You can flag the other hubs if you think they are in non-compliance. Yours may have been flagged or randomly detected by moderators. Moderators cannot possibly see everything.
Another possibility is that yours may have been found to lack originality, given the other hubs on the topic.
There are plenty of factors that go into taking down hubs. I would suggest re-reading the FAQ's page and visiting the Learning Center.
It might also be helpful to re-read the TOS of Hubpages, so you are refreshed on the changes made.
I hope that helps.
I doubt that your hub was taken down for the subject matter. As Cagsil said, you need to read the FAQs, TOS and go through the Learning Center. Pay particular attention to what HP calls "Overly Promotional" and the bit about "copied content." And until you do that, I would seriously reconsider wasting any more time publishing more hubs.
Read the content policies and TOS of both Hubpages and Google and ensure they are complied with
Hi, I also have the same issue.. I have a page I want to create about DETTERING people from smoking and it is constantly flagged down as a violation whereas other pages on the same topic, involving electronic cigarettes can stay up? It also says I have linked to a banned URL, what is the criteria for just banning URL's?
Thanks
Shannon
Sites that promote certain products or services are not allowed under Google AdSense guidelines, to which the HubPages TOS refer.
I don't even want to run adsense on it though?
There are situations where disabling ads on the hub in question will solve the problem. These are the borderline cases. There are other cases where HubPages will not allow it even with ads disabled, which has to do with them protecting their own AdSense account for the site as a whole.
On one of your hubs that is still up you have 50 tags. I am surprised you have not been flagged for too many tags
If you mean me, I don't have a hub with more than 4 tags?
The OP has one hub with lots and lots of tags. I checked out your two hubs; found 3 and 4 tags, respectively.

This week's HubMob has taken more of a consumer, money-spending, self-indulgent shift, which is totally OK with me. You see, this week's HubMob Topic of Products, Products And More Products! Hub about a product that you love or that other people love is designed to appeal to that inner mall-loving,...

What constitutes a Hub being taken down for adult content?I recently noticed an exceptional writer here who wrote a gut wrenching and informative poem about bulimia and lo and behold HubPages took the article down claiming it was "adult content." There weren't any swear words or anything...
