Hubpages is so selective?

I don't think they are very picky. The do look for duplicate content which they frown upon. Also, Hubpages really isn't an article submitting website. Each of their pages are really more like 1 page websites. At least that is how I look at it.

Indeed, hubpages is so particular when it to comes to the quality and the uniqueness of your content.

Based on Google's recent action, you don't think it's a GOOD think that these platforms are so 'selective'? Your post is written like you are disgusted with the fact that they try to ensure the quality of their own database.

IMHO, they need to increase that quality control...

this are my 3 priority regarding contents. You can use them also if you have troubles in unapproved and denial post issues.

I'm agreed, they are very choosy for articles.Don't know what they actually want.

I have 160 articles on hubpages, and I have only ever had one rejected. If you write reasonably good content, check it for obvious mistakes, it will probably be accepted as long as it is original.

Basically, they are looking for material as good as you'd want on your own site. In fact, I try to write better material than the minimum standard.

If you are just posting for backlinks... don't: at the moment they are considered a bad neighbourhood and google may penalize you. I don't have any links from hubpages to my site.

I recommend you don't either.

And, personally, I would like hubpages to be more selective rather than less selective over what it lets into the stable.

I have submitted some articles to hubpages..I don't think they are selective but in my experience they get more choosy for page which has affiliate links...

I believe so, I failed many time post on hubpages quality issues. Hubpages is very particular in quality and duplication of content.

Hubpages is actually a really awesome site! A well written hub ranks really well in Google in a short amount of time. Just make sure your hubs are good quality, beneficial to others, and make sure your keywords are in the title and url. Do a little SEO and your hubs can take on the most competitive keywords.

Checkout and learn from some of the best Hubbers. Just get involved in the Hubpages community and forum, you'll quickly find out who they are. You can learn a lot from them and they make a ton of money from their hubs.

You can make a lot of money from your hubs with Adsense, Amazon and etc.. But once you've gotten use to what kind of hubs do well and are popular, then you can start adding helpful affiliate links in your hubs too.

Don't ever create hubs that are aggressively promoting affiliate offers and getting backlinks. Chances are other Hubbers will report it.

The thing with Hubpages primarily is that they want a story...they want some emotional connection with the reader rather than a load of crap so stop writing standard sales pages and start thinking up some original topics or observations...

Anyone can spew out a load of rubbish about a dvd recorder they have never owned or even looked at...fewer people can write about the time they destroyed half their house by plugging in a vcr and watching the electric plugs blow up one by one or the time they knocked down a major load bearing wall and watched the upstairs bathroom fall into the cellar.

Anyone can write about how long it takes to cook a turkey, fewer people can write about the time their dad put the turkey in the microwave and watched in stunned awe as it blew up leaving bits of crap falling from the ceiling for weeks after.

Write about what you know, not what you think you know.

Here is one of my hubs, it is not perfect and I never claimed it to be but this is the kind of stuff that they love. I have never been rejected from Hubpages once.
