Me, 10$K/month. Because of AdSense revenue, I took many hours building a new website (online since last month) and hope that website it will eventually make some money. I really don't like having ads on website I visit but don't use AdBlocker (hide it behind other windows). I think WikWik.org is a great site (I'm the author) and for sure would not have exist without AdSense opportunity.

Did you try to contact 'www.howmanysyllables.com' before? To see if they would give you the informations. So you don't have to scrape their website.
Re:Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?

Hello from Quebec,
I am on Hacker News, as a big reader not commenting. My online business, is profitable, it make all my income, an ok salary for me :-). I have read the book '4 hours week' and work only few hours a week. The business start with a shareware game (1990), quit my day job (2002) to create more sharewares, fail at the first one (the password/unlock was hack the first week). So I come with the idea of having a client/server game (2004) (harder to hack). That work enough to make a small salary. Then I build another client/server game (2011), almost the same as the first one but localized in 3 languages. Then I received a lawyer letter (2011) to close both of my online sites. I did make some modifications, after 2 years they leaves me alone... Being afraid of closing, I was looking for a plan B (2012), I works hard on web sites that have a lot of visitors to make money with AdWords, it works. Now half of the revenue come from the 2 online games, and the other half come from AdWords. The shareware, online games and web sites are all related to a very popular crossword game.
