Simple Scrabble Site Raking in $300K+ a Year

Published August 24, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty
Check out AllScrabbleWords.com, a simple site that helps people find words for the popular board game Scrabble.
The site has been around since 2012 and has looked the same since 2015 with a “domain authority” of 28 out of 100 (via Ahrefs).
According to SimilarWeb, the site gets 11 million visits per month. It ranks for a broad range of Scrabble-related keywords that drive a ton of traffic from search engines
Looks like the site is monetized entirely through Google Adsense display ads.
The Adsense calculator estimates a site with 11 million monthly visits to earn $300K to $700K per year from different geographies
However, the site only seems to be available in a handful of countries. I had to use a USA VPN to access it.
(No idea why they don’t allow all countries to access the site; they’re losing out on a lot of traffic and revenue.)
Anyway, the site owner has still built a nice passive income stream by creating a resource for an already popular game.
I reckon there could be other opportunities in the board game niche to explore

Could be worth spending a little time on keyword research, see what you can find
