Custom PHP & Monetization

Game Micro-Niche Success

Scaling a niche gaming blog to 10000+ monthly traffic using programmatic SEO and authority building.

Project Overview

  • Project Type: Game-Related Micro-Niche Website
  • Audience: Tier-1 Countries (US, UK, CA, AU)
  • Monetization: Google AdSense
  • Technology: Custom PHP (No CMS)

This project involved building a game-related micro-niche website from scratch using custom PHP, with a fully custom frontend design and a dedicated backend system.

The goal was to create a fast, scalable content platform capable of handling high traffic from Tier-1 countries while remaining fully compliant with Google AdSense policies.

This high-performance site was built and hosted on Hostinger for its exceptional speed and reliability in Tier-1 markets. For a project targeting international users (US, UK, CA), server response time and global availability are non-negotiable.
