After the Google slap last month Hubpages changed some of their terms of use. And one of those was that you can only have 1 Amazon Capsule for every 50 words of content. They did this because they wanted to improve the standards on Hubpages, which is a good thing. And I knew that since I have lots of hubs and over half of those hubs were product hubs that I would be spending a lot of time on updating my hubs.
I thought I would just add some content or simply remove some of the Amazon products. And this worked with product specific hubs but I found that this was almost impossible with my themed hubs. For Example my "Best Toys For 2 Year Olds" hub was all about giving customers choices of some of the best products. And I knew that people visiting the hub would want a variety of products to choose from. So after giving it lots of thought, I decided to move my content to Squidoo. Here is how the lens turned out.

Will I be doing this with all of my hubs. No, I just think I need to really look at each hub and try to update it first. But there is a good chance that I will be moving some to Squidoo so I can feature more Amazon products.
So in conclusion, I think Hubpages is a great place to write. And I do really well with Google AdSense there, but for someone who wants to target Amazon, Squidoo might be the best place to write.
