. Could I write reviews on hp
So I am still fairly new on hubpages and was just wondering what kind of topics are acceptable on hubpages. Could I write reviews and stuff like that.
You can.... but be careful. The greatest danger in doing so is that the hub will be considered "too promotional".
Of course you can...however, as Windygreen has said, your hub may be at risk of being too promotional. I have done a review of AGV helmets myself and it all worked out well.
I write reviews of CDs, movies, and books all the time and have never been hit with the dreaded "overly promotional" tag so I say go for it.
About windygreen said..How can a product review be too promotional? I believe product reviews are not meant to sell but inform. There won't be any problem given you know what a product review truly is. Welcome in hubpages and good luck!
I guess the promotional nature of a review would be determined by the opinion of the reviewer. If you loved a product or service and can't think of a con - It could be considered too promotional.
Yes, you may. Keep in mind that there's a difference between reviewing a product and trying to sell it or promote it.
I agree, your best bet is to go with a "the good, the bad, and the ugly" type of outline or format it as an informational writing with no opinions.
One of my best performing hubs is a review. The only time I had a problem with the "overly promotional" thing was when I put a link to a website selling the product. Amazon links seem to be fine. Good luck, I look forward to reading your reviews.
Hi guys thank you so much for all your answers. @ Fatfreddy I see what you mean and you have very interesting movie choices got me hooked on your articles. I suppose I will have to write both the negatives and positives- and it will be okay. Again thanks guys for your answers.
Cool, man... thanks for lookin'. Have fun and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Wouldn't a hubber who seems to write exclusively on product reviews, which they openly state they got for free or at a reduced price simply for the purpose of writing review, be considered as "overly promotional," as that is all the hub seems to be doing, is promoting a product under the...

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtmFrom what I understand, it affects bloggers that are directly paid to endorse or review a product. Here on HP, we don't get paid to write reviews (well, some of you might), however most of us do benefit if someone purchases a product that we reviewed...

I just logged in and it shows every single one of my hubs highlighted in pink, to need review. The majority of these were well trafficked and featured hubs or editor's choice. Did something happen? I tried looking in the questions and forums and didn't see anything. I am not a former Squidoo person...

I like to add in-text links when I'm talking about certain products as I not only think they are some of the most effective, but also some of the most helpful. What I don't understand is why there is a limit of 2 in-text amazon links whereas we can make a slew of Amazon links using the Amazon...

I haven't been active in probably 1+ years on here other than checking in. I am wanting to get more active, but not sure what to write about these days. I have been debating what types of hubs to start writing and was wondering if product reviews or recipes actually get many views, or if I should...
