> I guess there's money in the ads.

I owned a basic wordpress site with some guides written during COVID for a couple of popular (at that time) mobile games. It appeared in top 3 searches for the <game name> + <guide/event/best ...> combination.

Ad revenue was around ~$100 per month peaking around ~$150 at the new content drops. I have abandoned the website since, but it still is generating $100 here and there without me actively working on it for the past 2 years.

To the point - yes, there's lot of money if you own a network of similar websites. My competitors were paying $10-30 per guide submitted on their website because a few guides could easily get paid off in a couple of months from ad revenue and keep generating it years afer.

I could write more detailed story if someone's interested.

I'd be interested in something like a blog post about this

Perhaps a guide? Might make $100/mo!

Get paid to make the internet a shittier place and fleece some advertisers at the same time!
