Have you noticed many more hubbers have started asking many more questions on Hubpages of late?
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of questions hubbers ask on hubpages compared to previous times. Many hubbers are struggling to post up to ten questions per day. They could exceed this if limits were to be removed. Does money or curiosity have to do with all the asking?
I think money is one of the motivators. However one thing I am finding is that it is also addictive. I've asked quite a few questions now that I actually want to know the answer to. Some of the answers and hubs have been excellent.
I guess as time goes by the fun will drop off, but I still will continue to build my portfolio as I feel it can help increase traffic to my hubs! Of course, over time I may change my mind as the statistics change, but so far it's fun, I've seen increased traffic to some of my hubs and I have the potential to earn a little more money!
March 2012 saw not only a contest based on asking questions on HubPages but the added feature of users being able to earn ad revenues from question pages. That makes the increase in questions rather obvious.
I am one of the people who have only recently started asking questions - I started off just writing hubs, and then started looking round the various tabs to see what else I could o, and, voila, I came across the tab called "explore", which led to my asking and answering questions only about two or three weeks ago.
I am both curious, and also interested in increasing my presence on HubPages and becoming better known.

When I look at the questions section of hubpages I see pages and pages of silly questions. A lot of the time, when I click on "unanswered" or "latest" I see that the same person has asked ten or so questions in a row. I suspect that in most cases this is because of the fact that...

Some hubbers are taking the mick with it. It's spamming. It's not allowed in the forums. If you want attention promote yourself according to good manners. Not by over spamming in the questions section.

All of us that have visited the question section know that much of the content there is of very questionable quality. It's difficult to see how many of the questions really contribute to the community or discussion on HubPages at all, ranging as they do from mediocre to banal.Of course, there are...

HI I'm new.. and I think.. that if someone (that isn't a Hub Page Member)visits my Hub page and scrolls to the bottom of my page they can see all the forum activity I have been a part of. I'd rather this info not be available for the world to see... is there a way to "turn off" the...

I've seen in the past where people say that it's too much time compared to what they have, but really? I mean I see plenty of people in the Q and A and forums, including myself bickering. Surely there is time to help others out. Is it because it isn't your job? Is it because you think they should...

arbitrary regarding the nature of questions? They indicate that questions are not to garner discussions or to be poll type questions. However, a hubber can ask any question and THEY decide what type of question IT IS although the intent was NOT to garner discussion or to poll people. ...
