Yes as when you revisit your hubs you can sometimes see ways to improve them or add a photo, see what keywords are used to find your hub etc so I reccommend checking them out but never click on your own adverts .
Be aware that sometimes your view will be counted as a view. I don't know the logic that determines whether or not they are counted. It's not that big a deal, as long as you know it can happen. Having said that, freecampingaussie is right-- especially about NOT clicking on any adverts.
So......what happens if you do click on your own adverts? Just curious....
Far as I know they track everyone's IP number, so they know it's you clicking on ADs. I haven't done it, but I'm assuming you either get a warning or an insta-ban from AD program depending on which program it is.
Apparently that's a BIG no-no for Google and could jeapordize your Adsense account.
I'm wondering if you mean does it do you any good because it increases your page views. In that respect no, because you get paid by HP ad program based on impressions, which do not include your own pageviews. I don't think it does any harm either.
I think it does do some good in going back to my old Hubs for a number of reasons. First of all, it gives me a chance to update where my article may need improvements and also it gives me a chance to see if I have missed answering any comments that have been made. Another thing I like to do is delete/add photos. Somehow, when I do the above it seems to keep my Hub fresh.
I visit mine occasionaly just to see if perhaps I missed something..or if at the time of publishing I didn't have just the appropriate picture,but found one later...and
sometimes to view comments and make sure I responded to each one..to show appreciation...
Yes it is a big help if you visit your hub often. It counts as a visit. But just confine your clicks to facebook like, tweet and pin it.
A lot of improvement can be done for the hub if we revisit our own hubs.

Hi, so I realize this is a newbie question so I beg your indulgence.I'm a little confused about the consequences of clicking on your own hubs. I do this only to make editorial changes or tweak the keywords. As long as I don't click through on the actual ads themselves, that's not a violation of...

I know we are all here to make some money, but having 10 ads on a page slows down loading time to such an extent that readers just don't have the patience to wait for a page to load. So they click away without reading our pages. To prove my point that the very high number of ads is to...

I started work on my new hub this evening..."Climate Change and it's Effect on the Erogenous Zones"and got the message ads disabled. As one (yes, only one) of my hubs is already in its first rewrite and resubmitted after being described as sub standard I thought I wouldn't risk...

Hi all, Just wondering if I can turn off ads on all my hubs and just focus on Amazon affiliates? I am banned from the adsense programme(not sure why) and have always had better luck with Amazon. ThanksKevin

I don't know if this is workable or not, it's just a suggestion.However I was just reading a thread about hubbers "rewarding" other hubbers by clicking their adverts. My suggestion: Since we cannot see Kontera adverts while logged in, could the same be applied to Adsense?Obviously there...

Over the last week the traffic to one of my hubs The Animal Planet Mermaid Hoax dramatically increased. It went from less than a hundred hits a week to nearly 7,000 hits in one week! My other mermaid hubs also had an increase in traffic but nearly as much. The reason for this, is the...
