Supporting Mahalo ad revenue: How do you "click out" of a How-To page through an ad to help support the advertisers who support Mahalo?
Where is the advertising on the How-To pages?
I went to the How-To Consolidate Student Loans page and would have gladly supported the page by clicking to a relevant advertiser, but I couldn't see one.
Are they imbeded in the links somehow?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

To avoid click-fraud, Mahalo does not show ads to logged-in Mahalo members. In fact, if you purposely click on an ad simply to generate income for the ad sponsor and/or ad provider, that is click-fraud. Enough cases of click-fraud could make Google either reduce ad payments to Mahalo or simply delist Mahalo completely as an ad server. You should only click on ads if you truly are interested in the product or service being promoted and would consider buying said products or services. Keep in mind that the advertiser is paying for your click, and would not be happy to know you were clicking otherwise, as s/he pays by the click (most of the time).

You can tip a page manager by asking him/her a direct question with the amount of tip you want to give. Once they reply, select the answer as best and they get the tip.
Yup, what opher said. Google will hunt you down. It would be nice if you could tip someone for a page, like you can in answers...
@opher.... That works, but it's a klude and too cumbersome that people will do it much.
Now if we had something like the "vote interesting" button where you could toss a tip to any page you like the look of, that would be fantastic.
There is an issue though that the people that are managing the page now aren't necessarily the people that made it. Unlike with questions and answers, there is multiple authorship.
Ah, that's a good tip!
Just to clarify for Google and everyone else, I have visited quite a few pages and not that I don't appreciate all of them, but the Student Loan Consolidation page was especially helpful (personally) and I plan on using some of the businesses associated with that page anyway. So, this is (would be) a legitimate click.
Thanks for the insight about not randomly clicking. Makes a lot of sense once it's pointed out.
