When asking questions with "you", are you asking for opinion or advice?
For example, "How do you....(fill in the blank)?" When you ask this, are you being curious about others' beliefs, habits, customs, or are you looking for advice?
Both, asking for opinions can also help with understanding others views. Helping our self's with a possible dilemma. I guess advise is a opinion when dealing with social situations or interactions with people. Different answers can all help contribute to ones own situation.

It depends on the question, the subject matter and the context.
Examples:
Opinion
Which is the better soft drink, Pepsi or Coke:
Advice:
I am thinking of installing solar panels, is that a good idea.?
Curious
Do you believe in the Great Pumpkin?
Habits
What is the first thing you do when you get home from work each day?
So it is all a matter of context, so tell me which soft drink do you prefer, and are you really going to install solar panels and by the way, what the is first thing you do when you get home from work each day?

In the learning center, it states that 'The Answers section is a place where Hubbers can ask Questions and receive revenue from 60% of the impressions for that page'. Is this information current and up-to-date?

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.

So, are you just answering/asking questions to get an accolade? I am.
by Christopher James Stone 16 years ago
I'm not sure where to post these questions, so I'll post them here and hope they get picked up.I want to know how many people are registered to HubPages, how many hubs get published per day, on average, and how many hubs there are altogether? Does anyone have this information?
