    Nice results, mate! Have you tried using AdSense directly and not through Monumetric? i.e. is there value in using Monumetric?

    1. 1

      I used AdSense for about a month before switching to Monumetric. Payout from Monumetric was roughly double what I was getting through AdSense.

        Thanks! That's interesting. I noticed that they are offering rotating ads. I'm curious how intense that's on the end-user's browser. If I don't block the ads, my browser is ready to go to fly to the moon, and I don't have any issues with ads blocked.

          Yeah I have definitely noticed some performance issues from the ads, especially on desktop browsers. Surprisingly it seems like it hasn't affected bounce rate on the site much so I haven't worried about it yet. 🤷‍♂️

      curious about this as well

    Fuck yeah!

    Great work - I love it.

    How is the traffic coming in?

    1. 1

      95% of the traffic is from organic SEO. I have yet to pick up much traffic from social media but that is something I have always been interested in improving.

        Danm straight! That's the best traffic for a site like yours.

        How long have you operated it?
