One of my colleagues tried posting articles in Hubpages. Well, the article was written well, but the topic was not that unique and fresh. As expected it was unpublished a day after. If you think that Hubpages is your prospect, create a content that shows substantial information so that Hubpages administrator won’t have any reason to remove it. I hope to find you in the hub community.
