"Monetize"
Q:Why did the entreprenuer start a blog?

It is at this crossroads between selling-out and staying true to my "individually mass-produced" blogger's roots. Do I hinder my reader's progression through my blog by allowing you to be assaulted with advertisments for my own good, advertisments I myself cannot click on to earn my revenue, as stated in the terms of the Ad-sense contract, or do I leave you with the false sense of genuinity in the fact that I myself am not allowing such shameless commercialism (despite the fact that I am piggybacking on a company whose individual share price has hovered around $500 the past few years)?
Today my blog is not monetized. Nor will it be tomorrow. Or the next day. But if the future gives me an opportunity to allow Ad-Sense to decorate my blog then I humbly ask, for Revenue's sake, click on my ads, please. For without you, my most beloved readers, not only is this page a waste of unviewed translated HTML, but also a lack of profitable venture for myself.
In the meantime I'll be subconciously weighing the marginal benefits and marginal costs of Monetizing every time I add a new post, and am tempting with the "Monetize" tab, and I hope you look upon me with economist's eyes and an over-active mouse finger if ever on my blog you are faced with the option to:
