I started a solitaire website 5+ years ago. When Covid hit, I ended up finally putting ads on it. Since then it's been growing steadily and about half a year back I made it my full-time gig.

You can check out the game here: https://online-solitaire.com/.

I wrote a post about my journey on Indie Hackers if someone is curious about it: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/how-i-grew-a-simple-solita....

Good site. I just gave you at least an hour of ad views because I can't ever stop until I win one. :) Note that on chrome on linux, the ads get quite heavy and slow everything down after 5 or so games, and I have to reload the page or it's too unresponsive to play.

Thanks for the feedback. Optimizing the ads are on my todo-list.

Looks super good indeed! Great story on IH.

Did you start having only the game at first above the fold and then added more content below? How did it evolve over time?

It looks like SEO drives most of your traffic.

I improved the game and functionality over time. The game has always been above the fold, but the content was greatly revise this past year. I've been doing a lot of optimizations on the game, but nothing big. After all, it's limited how much innovation can be done a game like that .

The UX is very slick congrats! Love the hints, auto-play, click-to-move, everything is well thought-out.
