Are the questions asked here counted as views on similar lines to our hubs?
I'm asking this as I've seen this page as an active page on Analytics!
No, they are not counted as views per monetarily. They are counted as views per answers given, and also questions asked. In a simple way of saying it, we do not get payed for the answers to our questions.
As far as I know HubPages don't pay for views on questions. However we can earn from AdSense for questions.
Personally, I think it is better that this segment of HubPages remains unpaid, as payment for answers might influence what people say here.
The questions asked here are for Hubbers to stay active and earn the badges on commenting levels,and definitely no pay for this one, it is what I think
I think Hubpages have the right to decide about what questions they select.
It is not needed that the questions will be related to our Hubs. But interesting answers are always suggested by people and are ranked higher.
Yes, from what I've understood looking in Analytics, questions are counted in stats on your page; which also means they can have good or bad effects on your page, as far as Google is concerned. The thing I've been looking at is bounce rate of questions. This is why I'm careful about asking questions these days.
It is my understanding we get paid by Adsense for clicks on the ads on the pages of our questions. A clarification of the procedure might help through a forum post,
Unless I am mistaken, you get page impressions for your QUESTIONS the same way that you do for your hubs. The same is not true of your ANSWERS. Answers are similar to leaving a comment on a hub; they help search engines to find the question that the answer is being left on, but do not aid the answerer at all in terms of monetary gain.
Otherwise, something has changed or I'm terribly confused.

I had a look on how people monetize their hubs in hubpages. There were two things to get started; tax information and the other one. I say the "other one" because I was not able to proceed. I was stocked on "tax information" because I was asked three questions as follow;...

I think it would be nice if we could earn money from our questions here on hubpages. Still with the 60/40 split just like on our hubs.The only thing I would think would be people posting too many questions, so maybe implement a cap on questions ie 3-5 per day as long as they are not spammy. ...

How many hubs do I need to publish before Google Adsense approves my application? I know this question has been asked many times but I know there are a lot of helpful hubbers here who can help. By the way, here's my recent post <link snipped>. Any suggestions on how I can improve my hubs are...

I check my dashboard a couple times a day, and recently I noticed that several of my articles are no longer counting views. I know this because it shows no views in the last 30 days, when in fact I've seen views on each of the articles during that time on a consistent basis.
