In Directory and User space, users who actually '''own''' the topic of their space are allowed to place as many Google ads within that space as their heart desires.

On the other hand, users who have merely "grabbed" a Directory entity that they don't own, are advised to build out such Directory space with legitimate, useful content -- otherwise, nobody's going to visit that Directory page or spend any time on it.  This would only retard the Google advertising opportunity.  In light of fostering quality on Centiare, management will cap any single user's ability to "grab" undeveloped Directory pages at 100.  For example, after claiming 100 Directory pages, a user must demonstrate that they have adequately built out at least 50% of them with meaningful, useful content before claiming another 100.  Otherwise, the user will be blocked and all of their Directory space returned to the open market. Remember, it is not an appropriate use of the [[Centiare:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License|GNU Free Documentation License]] to copy such text from a site like Wikipedia into '''protected''' Directory space on Centiare.

The incentive of the Google ad revenue is intended to be a very simple and catchy "hook" to bring in good MediaWiki editors who want to make money doing the thing they love to do.  Google advertising revenue is not intended to be an "end game" for users, but rather a reward for building good content within Centiare.  Of course, all users who have grabbed Directory space and are "squatting" on it need to remember -- they are merely "occupying" those Directory pages until the day the actual '''owner''' contacts Centiare's management.  At that moment, a sysop will transfer access privileges to the rightful owner, which will lock out the previous user's access rights.
