Hi everyone,
I am having real trouble getting my first hub publsied and online. I keep gettign told that it is overly promotional (see below) but as far as I can tell I have resolved all of these issues. I have been over the matertial in the page but still I can't seem to get it to work. I have read the FAQ and tutorials but perhaps I am missing something.
Can anyone give me some pointers or help?

cheers, Ben
"error message"
Overly Promotional means that your Hub:
*Solely or excessively promotes another site
*Links more than 2 times to a single domain
*Gives a short teaser and a link to "read more" or "continue"
*Links to a page that contains largely the same content as your Hub
*Contains an RSS feed that directs to the same site as a link within the body of the Hub
*Has excessive Amazon or EBay capsules
If it's not published we can't see it. What is the topic?
I saw a cached version. It is very short and it is basically a commercial for a site and sending people there... it adds nothing to Hubpages.
From the FAQ:
Purely promotional offers and Hubs designed only to promote other sites or businesses are not allowed.
I suggest you follow each reason provided by the "error message" and start to make revisions.

I've got the "Overly Promotional" red skull of doom on my top trafficked hub.Naturally it was the first one I edited. The affiliate links and "overly promotional" warnings at the top of the hub went away in the workshop. I republished it last night, and it's still published...

For some reason there is no edit button next to my hubs on the stats. I have two published and one I started on but there are no buttons or links to the left of the titles to let me revise and edit any of them.Is there any other page that might have a way to do this?

I would really like to know why my hubpage article is getting turned down? I finally had a chance to work on it and it took me a while to edit it. When I got done I was sure it was just fine but then I got a message it needs more work. I would like to know how I can fix it so it will published? Is...

My Hub: Sitting or Standing, The Best Way to Play Your Guitar <snipped link> has been blocked due having too many 'affiliate links'. Yes, the Hub has many links--due in part to having many images--but these are in no way promotional of any thing other than the concept the Hub itself is...
