Hello fellow hubbers,
I had a hub approved 20 months ago. Then recently it was flagged for links/products unrelated. I removed the rss feed to a blog that recently had no related topics and resubmitted but it came back still with the same warning.
I have now found a capsule with no amazon products found. This was a capsule with amazon products by product code. I guess amazon has removed the products. I deleted the capsule and hope I won't get unpublished again or worse because I'm re-submitting a 3rd time. I'm just trying to get this right.

Kindly let me know if you can see anything here that still violates. All my amazon products relate to my content now as far as I can see.
Thank you all for your kind assistance,
VivBounty
There is an Amazon 50/1 rule.
You must have at least 50 words per product displayed on the hub. If you have a capsule set to 8 products and it only displays 3 products, then that could be a problem
HP recently changed their rules on Amazon products and content. Also, be careful of the products you put on your hub, because some products that Amazon carries are against Google Adsense TOS.
Again, you must have at least 50 words per product. So, if you have 5 products, then you must have 250 words of content within the hub. If you have 9 products on the hub, then you must have 450 words of content.
I hope that helps. If you need further assistance, then I would suggest you visit the Learning Center. It has recently been updated with the new rules.
@ Cagsil - Thanks so much. I've been offline for a couple of months so kinda scary coming back to all these warnings. One of my wordpress blogs even got suspended and I have no idea why. However, I am now aware of the Amazon rule and changed those capsules accordingly.
I'm going to check the Learning Center for the Google Adsense TOS conflict with Amazon products.
I've now resubmitted my hub a 3rd time and hope I don't get in trouble.
Thanks again!
@Cagsil
I finally found the Learning center but can't find where there is a category or list of Amazon products conflicting with Google Adsense TOS.
Also, I now have another hub flagged for prohibited sites. I have removed the site with popups and all I have now is a link to a blogger blog but it won't let me submit for approval even after editing.

What do I do now?
I only said be careful of the products. You might want to check(directly) in Google's TOS for what items might be.
I know adult themes, such as provocative posters and even some clothes might be against it, because it puts a picture on your hub that would be a violation.
If you read HP's TOS and Google's TOS, then it might be clearer. There are certain topics that cannot be discussed either. I just wanted to make you aware of it, so you can avoid such things.
If you need more clarification, then email Staff at Team@Hubpages.com and I am sure they will answer your questions.

What is up with this? I can't tell you the number of times I've had to redo, change or entirely delete my amazon capsules because of 'missing products' that aren't really missing. What is the issue here? I'm afraid to look at my hub pages, and afraid to not look at them as well. Your hub ends up...

I tend to use photos of Amazon products from the product's page when I'm promoting them on an article and just credit them to Amazon. This probably isn't such a good idea, but if the product is being promoted would they mind I wonder? The complication of course is the seller on Amazon might not own...

In edit mode for my Non-Surgical Bunion Treatment hub, I keep getting a message saying I have a large number of amazon products and that each one should be relevant to the adjacent text.I've gotten this message for a long time, even though I've edited the hub several times, and took away a couple...

I always use Amazon ads as I figure the more advertising the better to a point. Placement is questionable, though. I'm not real happy with a string of ads flushed to the right, although that's what I nearly always do. They are smaller and the text capsule is narrow, which I don't...

Amazon Capsule not finding Amazon products via keywordsHello, I'm a relative newbe (about 3 weeks)... and have created my Amazon Associates account and activated it on HubPages. But when I try to use an Amazon capsule to link to Amazon products via keywords, all I keep getting is "No Products...
