I'm so sorry to bring this up again as there's a lot of information already on the forum - I've read them all. I still don't quite "get it" when it comes to promotional links.
My hub was flagged for a violation of promotional links. I know a hub can only have 2 promotional links to ONE site but how many promotional links total may a hub have? I can't find that answer! For example, can you have 8 links (2 links to 4 different sites each) or is 8 too many?
Here's the hub in question:
http://gottaloveit.hubpages.com/hub/Sen … iene-Items
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have at least three links to gertiesgalavants.com (I think I got that right). Links in photo capsules count.
To answer your question, though, the only limit is 2 per site (unlimited total), given that all your hubs don't go to the same site. If every hub points to the same site it will be overly promotional.
Aha! I'd forgotten about those blog links. Thanks so much for noting them. I'll go fix the hub. And, thanks too for the "unlimited total" - I have articles on about every site known to man so am glad I can link in two from each site.
I noticed 3 different links to one article on your offsite blog. 2 of your Photo links Plus the article link following your hub point to the same site page.
BTW, I think your hubs are very helpful and well written. It's great to see these kind of articles on HP, and your mother looks amazing. She's fortunate to have a daughter like yourself!
Thanks so much for the nice comment. My mom is amazing and i've learned quite a bit taking care of her. She's my own personal treasure.

I have a hub that currently gets an amount of Google views per day I'm not allowed to specify, but which is certainly much more than most of my hubs that have already been moved were getting on Hubpages proper. Unfortunately, I think that there may not be a place for it on a HubPages network site...

Where is my Hub? I've just made it and can't find it using a search.

I noticed that when I checked my backlinks all of the ones from hubpages were 'nofollow' links. Should this be the case? (I've written several articles and I'd hate not to be getting the most out of them.) Or do I need to change something in the HTML coding linking the anchor text to my website? If...

So, I've had a hub unpublished due to HP claiming that it's overly promotional.The hub only has 2 outbound links ( which is the number of links we're allowed to put for the other external sites ) this is the only thing that I'm having in my hub.There is also NO amazon products or Ebay or...

Someone recently stated that there are limits to how much you can link to your own hubs. Does anybody know the limitations?

Currently, we are allowed 2 text links within a hub for links to our website, blogs, or articles written elsewhere.But, if you don't join the HP Amazon program, do you know that those 2 Amazon text links are not extra ones? If you use 2 amazon links, then you have used up your quota of 2 personal...
