Hi I see that under one of my articles on hubpages it says something "a vast majority of this content has been published on other sites....so does that like mean that hub only takes original content...like I can't publish the content on my site first or in other places? If so, why does hub come so highly recommended?

    Yes, part of their basic terms and conditions requires original content, presumably if it passes copyscape, your good to go.

    Yeah it has to be unique content you will have to rewrite your original to make it unique. Yeah, it sucks but that is their terms of service.

    Does this appear on other articles, as well? I'm not sure if there's an error in wording here, but, they are saying they DO publish the content you submit to HubPages on other sites? This is confusing to me, give what the 2nd poster mentioned....As part of their TOS + editorial guidelines, they require 100% unique and original content, which is why I'm a bit confused as to why they, themselves, are publishing their own content elsewhere...

      EzineArticles will allow you to syndicate your content. They are both entirely different platforms, however. One is an article directory, and one is more of a Web 2.0 revenue sharing property. Each have their strengths and limitations.

        What's the advantage of posting on a web 2.0 property?

          It depends on the property. They comes in all different assortments and varieties: with different offerings, treatment of content, do-follow/no-follow link treatment, referral incentivizations, etc. Content generally can't be syndicated, though.

          Dependent on the site, authority and pagerank may be different, as well...dependent upon where they are in their growth. Monetization methods are typically alot more abundant than an article directory. Unfortunately, if people don't have a degree of skill, they may earn little to nothing on a Web 2.0 property. You can promote Clickbank affiliate products on both types of sites, generally throughout the article on a Web 2.0 property or in that last-line area they give you over at Ezine Articles.

          Where Ezine Articles has their Google Adsense Premium account ads splattered all over the place, and don't share revenue, Web 2.0 properties tend to share revenue. (although, they don't have to, most do). EZA is earning a crap ton off of Click throughs on the Google ads on the content you publish, however, they also allow you to be syndicated on a high authority site.

      Hubpages is a remarkable site giving you the opportunity to write some short original content and gain a first page ranking on Google for your keyword choice. Imagine it as your personal journalism platform where you can spout your opinions and views to the world without the discomforts generally associated with a street corner soapbox.

      Point your followers to your hubs. Develop a strong brand there for your writing style. I don't have any problem myself with creating original content for many different sites: it broadens my skills as a writer and develops my ability to persuade effectively.

        This is true. They are a very high authority site. by virtue of the collective effort of users contributing content over a long period of time. Google know and trusts them. Be sure to read their TOS and editorial guidelines, though. As far as treatment of do-follow and no-follow links, your links will automatically revert to no-follow if you allow your hubscore to fall below 75. This is essentially an internal mechanisms providing a bit of a negative incentive to get users to continually contribute to the site with original up to date content. It also helps to build a degree of loyalty to the site.

    All you have to do is rewrite your content a bit, no biggie.

    As for keeping your score above 75 that is a royal pain and I don't bother, who cares about no/dofollow anyway. You see on the Hubpages forum everyone is having these feverished but contrived, fake debates to help keep their score up, it's ludicruous! Like we haven't got better things to do!

    As for links, not sure what you mean. You CAN have a couple of self-serving links to your own stuff elsewhere, just don't go crazy, I think 2 or 3 is the limit. If you are just backlinking then you don't need more than that.

    I tried using the same content, but got my hub deleted.
    I`m always trying to rewrite the articles before publishing.
