Seems like it might be monetizeable through ads, as soon you'd be the top search result for a bunch of terms that otherwise won't have good hits.
While I was developing my @sfships Twitter bot, I needed to look up a ton of locodes, 5-character codes for "economically significant" places. The agency in charge of them releases it as CSV and Microsoft Access files, so it's a pain to quickly access the data. I said, "fuck this" and turned it into a website. E.g.:
https://locode.info/USNYC https://locode.info/USNYC
On a lark, I put some Google Ads on it; a few times a year Google sends me $100. More than enough to pay for the site itself. Given that I haven't touched it in a few years that's good enough for me.
