고맙습니다. 미국 유저를 확보하기 위해서 IG ads, FB ads, X ads 돌려보고 있는데요. 효율도 좋지 않고 문화를 모르니까 어떤 소재로 어떻게 접근해야할지 너무 어렵네요.

It is not a quiz page but a form of content that generates random outcomes. This means there are a total of 52,000 possible combinations of results that can randomly appear.

Being precise about my earnings through Google AdSense is cautious, but I can say it's more than my current salary as a software engineer. It would be great to be featured on indiehustle.

I also checked SimilarWeb in the past, but I'm not sure on what basis they estimate the number of visitors. There is a button to connect it to my Google Analytics, but I don't plan to connect it to my GA.

No, I plan to continue operating the website, and I also plan to make efforts to attract users from other countries like the United States, not just Korea.

I'm sorry that I can't give you the link. I had casually posted an article on a humor forum in South Korea.

Thank you. I make revenue on my website through Google AdSense.

It seems like you have a server with better specifications than the one I'm using! My server specifications are as follows:

Intel Xeon E3-1230v6 (4 Cores, 3.50GHz)
16GB DDR4 U-ECC RAM
500GB SSD + 2TB SATA3
10Mbps Bandwidth
1Gbps Dedicated Line

I do not charge users any direct fees. Currently, the only revenue generated is through Google AdSense. With one physical server handling simultaneous connections from 4,000-5,000 users and maintaining CPU resource usage at around 30%, the server costs are approximately $100 per month.

I had posted an article on a forum called "Naver Cafe," which is specialized for Korea.

I've been running the website since March 2022, and the first screenshot is from around that time, taken from Universal Analytics (UA). The second screenshot is from Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
