I make about $600/mo pretty consistently with a typing game ( http://zty.pe ) - about 200k visits/mo. I once managed another project that had about 14m visits/mo and made a meager $3000. Bad target demographic.

You should thank Jerry from Barnecules Nerdgasm channel on YouTube. He used too play it often, That's where I saw it from ...He started playing it from the old version which is where I heard about it too. I Take two hours off every Sunday to play it and get my typing skills up.

Thought it was cool too, and I don't play that many games.

I used to play this game years ago (2010 or 2011). Glad to see that it's still there.

I'm small fish here, but since question was asked I will share. https://random.country/ brings me around 40$ passive income monthly. Around 5K visitors monthly. Probably it could bring me more money with one more ad.

Nice idea :)

Fun game! Just played a round - the ship that shoots a bunch of single letters is a cool mechanic. Can I see how I stack up against other users?

I can speak for the food blogging industry. This is my wife’s blog[1] A good food blogger focusing on the US/High GDP audience can get CPMs from $1-4[2]. Where it gets interesting are the RPM numbers. If you can manage multiple ad networks, execute 100% fill rates, bid between networks and become a preferred partner, you can rake up to $12-15in RPM [3].

Pretty cool game curious if you do anything with it, like do you somehow use the client's resources or what? Is it just to waste time? Though I could see if it's a "trying to improve typing speed" as it has to be typed in order
