Is hosting a blog or website on GitHub profitable? I’m thinking of posting around 100 articles per day on my GitHub site (for example: myblog.github.io). I can build 10–15 high-DR, PR backlinks, and all the content will be completely human-written. After a few days, I plan to add AdSense ads. Will this make me money?

How about the ranking of the keywords? How much time will Github take for ranking your blog?

Github is actually a decent parasite these days.

Parasite SEO is a misnomer as you are not ranking your own site but piggybacking on a site that often ranks for KWs for your site with a link in there to direct traffic to your site.

Think of it as a barnacle on a boat. The boat is going places, and the barnacle is getting a free ride.
 
it can save lots of hosting c0sts so yes I can see it as porfitable

Yes, and it does not have to be a *.github.io domain. You can have a custom domain pointed to the site as well.


Here's how to do that:
Code: 
https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site

The only catch is that you have to have a static website. But there are lots of frameworks which would do that for you (for example hugo , next.js).
 
I thought Adsense on github pages wasn't possible because google would probably check root domain but just searched a little about it on stackoverflow and seems like you can definitely run Adsense so i guess it depends on if you're able to rank and drive traffic.

I don't think so, honestly. GitHub Pages is more useful for static content, and even though it is static, you'll run into problems when you want to monetize it. It would be better to get a cheap domain for $10 a year and start from there!

I have never done it myself, but I have heard it can be done.

Try this plugin may be:
Code: 
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/

p.s. I am not affiliated to this plugin in any way.

Github is really good but on the other side it has to many restrictions that you cant post freely..
