Has anyone else noticed the strange new link on your Blogger Dashboard? You know the one I'm talking about.
That's right: Monetize.
I thought it was a joke at first. Monetize? Seriously? Maybe Blogger's designers watched that old Captain Crunch commercial a few too many times. "Crunchetize me, Cap'n!" "Dude, that was BRILLIANT. How can we use that with Blogger?" "I've GOT IT!"
Still, I'd definitely like a little more monetization of my life. Monetize me, Blogger!
Strange. I clicked on it, but no money has spewed forth out of my CD drive. And I haven't turned into a walking, talking stack of twenties. Clearly no monetization has occurred.
Wait, you mean it's just for those side ads? The ones no one in their right mind clicks on or even reads? Oh yeah, baby, show me the money. I'd be raking in the dough in NO TIME. Forget looking for freelance work, forget trying to find magazines I could submit articles to. We're going to be freaking rich.
Or not. Guess I'll have to find some other way to monetize. Or maybe I'll just click on that link a few more times in the hopes that it starts raining dollars from the ceiling...

We'll have to think of other ways to monetize, I guess.
I'm pretty fond of money raining from the ceiling.
Yes, I think if you keep clicking on it, eventually you'll be singing, "Hallelujah, it's Raining Money!"
And when it does, please remember your poor dear friend over here in Utah. ;)
This is almost as good as holding out your hands and waiting for nuggets of gold to fall from the sky.
What? You mean it doesn't work? Nonsense!
Honestly, I don't know why people even bother with the ads. Like you said, nobody reads them or clicks them or anything...
And when money starts falling from the sky, pass some this way. :D
I hadn't spotted it. When I clicked on it, it turns out that they don't tell you how much money you can earn from ads or how it is calculated. Nasty!
So, I'm going back to my old system of looking for pots of gold at the end of rainbows.
WTF??? That's what I thought when I saw it. I can't imagine anyone deciding to take that (insane) route. You'd probably make just as much money if you closed your eyes and wished for money to fall from the sky.
LOL! Glad you're not monetizing. Those ads are not only annoying, but I always thought they looked unprofessional on writers' websites.
By the way, my spell check not only recognizes 'monetize' as a word, but 'monetizing' as well. So apparently it got the memo about the word long before many real, live people did.
Sadly enough, I met someone who actually expected to be able to retire on monitization dollars.
Surprisingly, this hasn't actually happened yet. Unsurprisingly, I can't help but laugh.
I'm glad someone else is baffled by the monetize. I want it off. It's distracting. Maybe they can make a button that says "publishize." I'd push that one. Yeah I know, that was pretty dumb.
