   I searched for my first article - I have published here - on Google I could not find it . Why the search engine couldn't find  it.
   
   I did publish the same article in an another small site, and both Google and yahoo search engines are only able to  find the article published in the small site not the hub one. why ?
   Does it happen to you too?
   thanks

      Duplicate content will not work well here. Original articles are preferred by HP and Google.  I would delete the hub if it is posted elsewhere.

      I think you have posted duplicate content at hub. So,this error has occurred. First be sure that you have deleted your article at hub, then again post it with different title. It may work out then.

         No it won't, changing the title will make no difference if the content is duplicated.
         
         You would have to completely re-write the whole article, but you could then keep the same title.

   I did not post elsewhere, i have just done a test. In other hand, I have copied  some text from an another HUB member article and pasted it in  Google. and again Google failed to find the page of that member.

               Gee lol sexual harassment at once?  I didn't say you are beautiful ! please understand me well. How can I harass sexually someone who I don't like his face or his fake smile.
               By "sexy photo" I meant that this photo is over-retouched  in Photoshop  in order to attract more clicks.
               But your face  as well your profile had an opposite effect on me. some sort of negative energy is there.
               
               By" I am here just to practice English nothing more" I meant that I don't care if stay here or get banned, since my goal is not selling my articles.
               
               I hope you have earned some money from your great articles in order to pay the court.

                  Hello mate.  I don't know why you are here, and I don't care obviously.  But there's something about your attitude that stinks.  Personally if I was new on a site with a dodgy looking handle (the numbers are much loved by copiers and scammers) and a recently moderated hub - I might be looking for some help and advice.
                  
                  Or I might do the decent hard working writers a favour and find somewhere else to purvey my er qualities.
                  
                  Of course you could create a decent profile, plus a picture, write a decent hub and apologise - and start again.
                  
                  Who knows you might win a HubNugget.

   Normally it will take time for a hub to appear on search engines. You may want to try submitting your hub profile manually to all the main search engines. However, you will need to develop more traffic (unless you already have 100s/1000s of visitors) in order for it to show up on the first pages of Google ... there is a lot of competition out there! and many people/businesses pay good money to appear at the top of searches for key words/phrases.
   
   I submitted my hub profile to Google and searches seem to come up with my hubs now. However, I have not had any traffic from outside hubpages yet, as I need to develop my hubs far more...
   
   Good luck :-)

               Your hub was probably unpublished because it went against Hubpages ToS.
               
               You need to visit the hub and read the warning message at the top.
               
               Also, the quickest way to find out if a hub is indexed by Google is to copy and paste the URL straight into Google and see if the page comes up. If it does, it's in Google.

                     A hub cannot be unpublished just because someone flagged it.
                     
                     The only way it can be unpublished is if the monitoring system picks up something against ToS OR a staff member unpublishes it.

                     Eaglekiwi, Izzy is right. Since it's trying to give you the best match possible, it will match the exact URL. No one is going to type the exact URL of your hub into Google to find it.
                     
                     You want your hub to rank well for keywords - for instance you want a hub on chicken soup to rank high when people Google "Chicken Soup."

Just remember that if no one is Googling that term you won't get traffic for it... and Google may also change results based on your location and previous search history.

   As WriteAngled said, the whole of the hub appeared elsewhere. HubPages does not allow you to post something that has been posted somewhere else.
   
   I will repeat her post:
   
   "You duplicated the whole of the hub on Yahoo answers. Duplicate content is not permitted on HubPages."
   
   HubPages would unpublish it as soon as their filters figured it out.
