That is not true. You can be on H1B and not work for a business as an employee but can own a business. Making money on ads on a blog is perfectly legal.

It's a tricky hole to thread: if the blog is being run as a business it could violate the terms of the H1B. On the other hand, a blog that is run as a hobby and that makes incidental/minimal income should not violate the H1B. Generally, the difference between the two is that a business blog is intended and managed to maximize revenue (even if it actually does not make money), while a hobby blog is not intended to make money(even if it actually does).

Right, and if I can't work for that business what difference does it make?

Do you have any links that show that ads on a blog are legal? All the research that I've done came to the same conclusion.
