Sure, I <b>do</b> want the ad revenue. But I also enjoy writing, and like to blog. Why not have just <i>one</i> blog? Because I, myself, wouldn't enjoy periodically visiting a blog where I'd have to ignore 50%, or 89%, of its posts, as would happen if I had all of them put together. Just because you like, say, computer games, it doesn't mean you <i>also</i> like heavy metal, or are interested in blogging, or technology, or philosophy, or my personal life. Categories help, but only a little. Not to mention the fact that I have blogs in two different languages. I have lots of regular visitors <i>and</i> feed subscribers because people can be sure that virtually all the posts are about one single subject, which is of interest to them. From a more practical angle, having a blog focused on a single theme helps it a lot in terms of search engine optimization <i>and</i> ad relevancy. 9 blogs isn't that much - any full-time blogger usually has many more. :) Finally, look at <a href="http://www.dehumanizer.com" rel="nofollow">any of them</a> and tell me if they are (to someone who's interested in the subject) interesting or useful... or if they look just "made for AdSense". :) Hey, no problem.

Finally, look at any of them and tell me if they are (to someone who’s interested in the subject) interesting or useful… or if they look just “made for AdSense”. :)

I envy your ability to keep those alive... I do. I can't even keep one alive, let alone nine! But make me understand why you need 9 blogs instead of putting those posts in different categories. Isn't that what categories are for? (And just so you know, this is not a personal attack, I actually want to understand what drives you. Seriously.)
