Great looking service and easy to use. Do you monetize just with the ads?
Yes just with ads, but trying to keep the UX good and not fill it with lots of ads.
I recently started http://simplyhire.in/ . I started working on this about month back ( may starting ). Couple of local startup has started using it. This looks good. But right now unable to push beyond these local startup, lack of networking etc. Let me know if guys can help.
A friendly fyi: simplyhired.com might make a case that you're infringing on their trademark.
I created a few javascript card games, most of them in late 2011, but they really started earning this year. So far have made Spades, Hearts, Go Fish, Crazy Eights, Shithead and a couple of solitaires. Revenue has been steadily rising, and is a nice little side income now. http://www.spades-cardgame.com is one, the rest are linked from there.
Really awesome, i couldn't think you can make money with a no-sponsorship model on games. So your revenue comes completely from ads?
What I think I'm doing right:
* Simple to start. As soon as you enter the page you see the table, you just need to press Deal and you've started. No "enter your name", no choosing options before starting, no nag ads.
* Single page sites. The rules for the games are on the landing page, which means it has more content and is likely to be ranked higher by Google.
* Keep it simple. As a programmer I had the urge to create high scores, multiplayer, logins, track results etc, but at the end of the day most people just want to spend 10 minutes playing, and leaving out those things also means it's maintenance free, and frictionless to get started.
We've opened doors to the public teo weeks ago and are already paying for the servers. Press launch following next week. It's all very exciting :) Once things relax a bit we'll definitely share our experience on some kind of blog.
Would love some feedback if you have a minute, too.

Hi, I've launched a website in January to find all your bills in one place sponsored by big french brands and it became profitable in may http://greenbureau.fr
Ha, I realize now I've talked with you (or some other colleague of yours, Florian) for some eventual Django freelance work. Glad to hear it's working well, seems like a crowded market in France at least.

For very marginal definitions of 'English speaking' only. By any such definition, Germany, all Scandinavian countries, Belgium and the Netherlands would be 'English speaking countries'.
Nigeria is an English-speaking country, the other countries you listed are not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_speaking#List_of_Englis...
Launched http://cull.io 20 days ago. Revenue made till now $150. Spent: appengine $10, musicbakery: $47. (I don't really know how to cost my time, it's around three weeks to build).

Yes, I'm kind of amazed at it myself. I rank fairly well for some of the most relevant keywords now, and that's where almost all the traffic comes from. What I think I'm doing right: * Simple to start. As soon as you enter the page you see the table, you just need to press Deal and you've started. No "enter your name", no choosing options before starting, no nag ads. * Single page sites. The rules for the games are o…

I'm curious how people are finding, and then using your service. Are most of the users people who use another app that provides pushover notifications, or are they developer or power user types who want a way to push notifications to their phones? (I would assume the former, I suppose.)
Most are sending alerts to themselves. While I've integrated it into Github and my Fitbit notifier to try to pick up users that just want to receive alerts, most are using it to generate their own alerts from network monitors, BitTorrent clients, IRC clients, etc. I pinged the ifttt.com guys to ask about integration but haven't heard back yet. I'd like to do more integration with services that currently do e-mail not…
