Online Solitaire

Project Overview

Online Solitaire is a web-based solitaire game website developed by the author, generating $10,000+ in revenue primarily through strategic ad placement. The site, which has been active for 3-4 years, implements an advertising model where ads appear after every 5 game plays.

User Experience and Feedback

Users provided specific interface feedback, particularly around the autoplay feature. One user noted an issue with card visibility when autoplay was too aggressive, which the creator addressed by offering configurable settings to customize gameplay experience.

Monetization Strategy

The creator was initially skeptical about banner ad revenue potential but discovered a viable income stream through targeted ad implementation. The monetization approach involves showing ads at calculated intervals (after 5 game sessions), creating a balanced user experience while generating consistent revenue.

Technical and Business Insights

The project demonstrates that niche, well-executed web applications can generate meaningful income through thoughtful design and strategic advertising. The creator’s journey highlights the potential of simple, focused web platforms that solve specific user needs.
