Is it a Hubpages (or any other) to click on ads in other hubbers' articles?

No, Hubbers cannot click on other Hubbers ads. Paul Deeds said that in a forum posting that it was a no no.

It's a very bad idea. It's not only bad because Google could see it as hubbers 'helping each other out' but you could inadvertently click on one of your own ads on another user's hub. (Yep, your ads can sometimes appear on other users' hubs... think ref urls.).

My understanding is that if you're genuinely interested in getting more information about the ad or the company putting out the ad, there shouldn't be a problem. My understanding is that Google Ads has a policy about asking people to just click on the ads but the purpose of the ads really are to measure interest and connect potential customers with the services and products that are out there.

I think one cannot click on another hubbers' ads nor on one's own.

Oops! I left out the important word "violation" in my question Is it a Hubpages violation...

If I am interested, I click.. I think they don't want you clicking on the ads on your own writing/hubs.. I could be wrong .. but I doubt it.

I am glad you brought this question forward. I have been wondering myself..and it still isn't real clear here.? don't know.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
