   Hi there,
   
   I took a look at your trouser/pants article. The main problem is your English. It is not yet up to the standard required by HubPages.
   
   You haven't cited the source of your photos. They must have a Creative Commons license and be legal to use on a commercial site. You can't just take them from Google unless you can confirm the license.
   
   'Spammy elements' are just one possible cause of not passing QAP - they are usually links.

         The best thing you can do is build a photo library by taking your own and using them in your articles. In the article Bev mentioned, you're talking about the best slacks for men. I would assume you've come to your conclusion because you own a pair of each style. Have someone take a picture of you wearing each type.
         
         Using your own photos as often as possible steers you clear of copyright violations.
         
         In the event you don't have suitable shots of your own, try Pixabay.com or  Unsplash.com.

               Pinterest is not a suitable source for pictures. People share photos there with no concern about the license of the images. The sites that bravewarrior has mentioned are a good source of photos that have a suitable license. Using your own photographs would be even better.

               No. Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash. You can also search on Flickr for CC images but be careful with those.

                  All good advice, but it seems to me that the much bigger problem is English proficiency.

                     Agreed! There are many misspellings on his profile page. He shouldn't worry about photos because none of his articles will pass the grade until his English/spelling/grammar is polished.

                           Now you've got some spammy elements in there with all those Amazon India links. The market for Amazon products on HubPages is the US readership. It's an American site. It also has its own built-in Amazon program.
                           
                           The key to use Amazon is to restrict it to one or two links. And also you MUST demonstrate that you own and use the product. So there's no point in linking to random items if you have no experience of them.
                           
                           However, as I said in my first response, you need to improve your English to be able to write here.

                                 Pants.
                                 
                                 If your wristwatch article also has links to Amazon or other sales pages, then the same applies.

                                          We are discussing your pants article.
                                          
                                          You can't use translation software - it will never work here. If you can't write in English, you won't earn a penny on HubPages.

                                 I write in a program called Scrivener. Many people use Word or the free LibreOffice Writer.
                                 
                                 You can use the free app, Grammarly, to help you fix some of the errors, but really you have to be 100% fluent in English to be able to write in English.

                                       Hi, Ajay. Your article about pants has many language errors. It would be good to improve your skill in using the English language before you try writing more articles.
                                       
                                       I noticed two other problems in the article. The excessive underlining should be removed. The wording of the caption and the source under each photo is identical. The repetition doesn’t look good. In addition, the source links for the photos don’t work.

                                       I haven’t seen the email that you received, but I think it says that spammy elements may be a reason for the fact that a particular article is not featured, not that they definitely are the reason. The email is a standard letter listing the possible reasons why an article is not featured. It’s not a specific version for a particular writer.
                                       
                                       You don’t need to be concerned about spammy elements in the latest version of your article. You need to be concerned about the points that I raised in my previous response.

   The best thing would be to go through the featured articles here and then try to reach or cross that level.
