I'm not willing to share my sites, but I have some content websites, one of them have ~2 million pageviews/month and is enough to pay my bills. The others are small, but they improve ~10% my result. They are 99% passive income. All of them can be improved, but I don't do anything, I have full time job and other side projects. I feel bad for not working on them, but I know it is the right decision to me. To be honest, it was started as a SEO experiment. I have bad content in good shape (all in-page SEO tricks done). I'm sure better content can improve my results.

  The biggest site has generated content. It is more like a places database, based on third-party APIs. The other sites I wrote the content. It is not a good content, but most part is original.

      Exactly. Just get data from other places and make it simple, beautiful, useful. Government has a lot of interesting databases with disgusting presentation. All my websites are focused on brazilian market (pt-br).

Can you share how much money you make? And is it all from Adsense?
- iurisilvio 9y ago
  They make USD 1.5-2k. In my country, it is a mid-level developer salary, enough to cover expenses. Most part come from Criteo and Adsense. Adsense has better performance, but is not reliable, some sites were banned without reason. I always test other ad networks, but these have the best performance to me.
