Hey All,
I have written 2 articles and published it. First time it was not published as I got a message saying it has spammy elements but I had only put up amazon ad but it was relevant. I removed the ad, removed bold text which were not excessive and again published. now again it is unpublished stating it contains spammy elements. Same with the 2nd article which was recently published.
I am not able to get how is the article spammy when I have followed all the rules.
Please help on this anyone.
Regards
Danny.

Surely, mam, I will do it. Since it is in an unpublished draft form. I will send the links asap.

Do you have any other links in the article? I think there is a limit on how many links you can have to the same site.
