It takes a lot of time to put together for material for a blog, and it would make it worthwhile if there was some revenue to support the site. JKE: Thanks for the positive comments.

The Kenyans on JKE's list are all top writers within our little niche in the blogosphere, that's what makes their sites compelling. Personally, if a blogger decides to monetize their blog I have no problems with it. I do however appreciate it if they do it in a controlled manner, with good looking ads that stay out of the main content areas of the blog. A good example of this is <a href="http://www.boingboing.net" rel="nofollow">BoingBoing</a> and <a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/" rel="nofollow">Signal vs Noise</a>.

Mine is not monetized simply because I haven't made the effort to keep it interesting enough to generate the traffic, but to others with the focus to do so, why not? I'm not sure why there is even a debate on the "ethics" of this issue.... Monetizing blogs is simple capitalism which can reward those that make the effort…why not?
