Hope you could read about my april blues. :read: If you already did, then you know how badly I need money right now. :moneybag: In connection to that, there’s this one thing that’s confusing me at this time. It’s about monetizing this site… :worried:

If you’re a close friend of mine, you’d know how I really don’t want my personal sites to be “tainted” with advertisements. :| Before, since Animik was my personal blog, I didn’t want it to bear advertisements. But ever since I had iFancy.Me and it became my personal blog, I’ve been using Animik to make money online. :moneybag: The downside is that Animik’s traffic had gone down already since I focused more on iFancy.Me, so I haven’t had many sponsored tasks to do. :naku2: Now, iFancy.Me’s PR and traffic (Alexa rank) have increased just when I needed money the most. See the connection? High PR and traffic = more opportunities. :crazy:

That’s why I’m so confused right now, and I need your opinions to help me with this one. I know the final decision is still mine to make. But I still want to know what you’ve got to say about this one. :hatena:

Here are some of the options I’m thinking about right now:

  • Monetize iFancy.Me! But it would defeat my no-advertisements-for-personal-sites principle. :pissed:
  • Initiate a temporary blog leave at iFancy.Me and focus more on Animik. Unfortunately, I don’t want to leave iFancy.Me naman! :shocked: And even if I do leave iFancy.Me temporarily, Animik’s traffic won’t increase unless people would cooperate. :hmph:
  • Stay as is. Still blog in iFancy.Me and Animik. Divide attention. But nothing’s gonna happen. Grrr. :ikari3:

So, what’s it gonna be? Should I let my pride rule over? Or should I give practicality a chance? :confused:
