Hello everyone,
I have just finished my first Hub and I was wondering how strict Hubpages are with links? I have five links and they are spread out nice and evenly over the Hubpage. These are not affiliate hoplinks but a domain that I purchased then forwarded to my affiliate offering. Looks better than an ugly hoplink:)If your going for a keyword domination would it be alright to link a Squidoo Lens to a Hub Page as an additional back link to help with page rank?
Thanks
Scott
Hi Scott:
We only allow 2 links to each domain, per hub. You can see all our rules regarding linking at http://hubpages.com/hub/overly-promotional
As far as backlinks, yes, linking from a Squidoo lens or any other site will be helpful to your hub, both in terms of traffic and search engine ranking.
Only two links per domain per hub.
It doesn't matter how spread out they are on the hub.

Is a link to my own blog considered an affiliate link? I want to link from a Hubpages article I am writing to an article on my blog that further describes what I am writing about in the article.

Since I don't have an affiliate to Amazon or adsense why does the violation list that I have too many of these? What is the difference between the two?I thought that you could have one amazon link per 50 words. Some of my pages have over 1,000 words and only 4 amazon links, and it's...

I just want to make sure I am clear on the transition information. My stuff transferred overnight, so that means that I have 4 months to clear up skulls etc before the hubs get moderated, correct?I am going to have to completely revamp quite a few former lenses due to the fact that much of my...
