In the last 2 week i have see born more faucet with "antibot" sistem.
The methos is simple, add 6-10 text link "I'm human" and for request satoshi you get click to all this link.

Where is the problem ?
The problem is, this don't is a method for stop a bot, but only for earn more with ads click, because the I'm human text link is very near to all google adsense banner. This is only lose time, you click

1 time for add your btc address

1 time for captcha

1 time for add captcha (if use funcaptcha you get click more time)

8 time for click to i'm human

1 time for click get rewards

=

12 click for have 1000/1500 satoshi ?
YOUR FINGER WORTH MORE

Stop use this @@@@@ faucet and see how the owner change methos. I write to google every time i see the faucet use this method , for signaled a unfair methos used for have more click

I have a faucet and I don't use this method.

The Google Adsense rules are prohibitive against methods that induce misleading clicks or unnatural attention to their ads.

I think those faucet owners will lose their adsense accounts soon.

8 time for click to i'm human... What it is not too difficult fauceter?  :)

People will continue to use those faucets because they have usually nice reward for 1 claim and long claim time so you don't have to do that annoying thing every 5 minutes.

Honestly, while i leave a click sometimes on good faucets, i try my best to not click any on those that use anti bot things but i also know that other users less expert will accidentally click on them and they will earn something until adsense ban them.

i dont promote this kind of faucets on my lists

i agree with OP. especially when i see, that "antibot" text have very similar color with background. just close this faucet
not just "YOUR FINGER WORTH MORE" , my eye worth much more

There is a solution for this problem, you can totally skip ani-bot links and waits time.There is an addon for Firefox that enables it all.
Check in my signature, follow the instructions and within minutes the problem was solved thanks to user LosingAlpha :)

I don't use this type of faucet, really hate, but owner continue create because in the forum more user don't understand the value of the time of his life  ;D
1000-2000 satoshi for 10-15 click isa ridicolous value, but i remember more user to payxclick program , click a banner for earn 0,00001 $  ;D

It's a alien-predator symbiotic relationship between ops(I mean faucet owners operators :)) and users in a hunt for advertiser's satoshis. :) Personally I prefer faucets with less straightforward tricks.  Like this one with flying amphibian http://frog-btc.com/play

First, why do you use faucets?

Get out of here, troll.

I will soon be taking a similar approach, I don't feel comfortable sending traffic to sites that employ such tactics to keep themselves afloat.

Many of these sites have zero regards for the ecosystem - don't feature any sort of Bitcoin advertising and have almost zero relevant content apart from the satoshis they offer. For sites that actually work to develop their sites, it really sucks to lose traffic to these juggernauts. Nobody can afford to offer what they do without employing those sort of tactics.

It's a shame looking at the top 10 on iFaucet. 90% of the faucets listed have anti-bot links.

I do agree with the OP as it's really a dishonest way of using the case of bots drying their faucets just so they get more clicks here and there and to be honest, I think if google adsense start really going over the faucet , more than half of them will lose the earnings as their somehow making people to click involuntarily on the ads

Hi forum,

90% + times those "click if you're human" links can be evaded, just like most timers can be evaded!
Just complete captcha, execute a bit of javascript: document.forms[0].submit()

Bang!
Satoshis earned.

LS.

the trouble is sometime when you want to click antibot is you click the banner ads and go to site have malware :( agree with you dont click anti bot

As a faucet user myself, I completely agree that it is extremely annoying.

But as a faucet owner, I must tell you that it is extremely difficult to keep faucets running with so many bots, so many users who are not willing to do the faucet a favor by sparing one little tiny bit of a second to keep the faucet alive.

The anti-bot link have become a necessity rather than a choice between many faucet owners but I am completely on your side when it comes to forcing users to click on ads by placing it really near the ads. That isn't necessary but many faucet owners are doing it.

However, I am not going to complain because it is 'free bitcoins' we are talking about after all. With literally so many faucets out there, it's perhaps too easy to solve this problem. Just ditch those faucets and move on.

But please do remember this. Bitcoins cost. Faucet owners are not some rich people willing to give out free money. If you or anyone reading this had been using faucets for a long time, I suggest that it's about time you do a favor for all those faucets you have been claiming free bitcoins from.. Spare 1 second of your time to keep genuine faucets alive. This is my one little piece of suggestion.

Bye.

I use my lists and lists of other ones...
list owners should understand that each time I lose time for nothing,the list owner does earn nothing.
Sometimes I believe that the list owner and the faucet owner are the same person.
Of course I accept antibot links seeable per humans,but if the links are hiden or temporized for a long time...I try to avoid.

if list owners are clever,they avoid the faucet which such links because they earn less.

Just report them to Adsense

agree with OP
i use some faucet but avoid antibot method
very2 hate this type of faucet
and i hate if some faucet write in his site 30-60 min but the truth must wait for 300 min

i dont list them either

Agree +1000.

So close down

Sounds like you're talking about false clicks. Why do the faucet a favor by cheating the advertiser with a useless click?

Advertising is expensive. You'd be pissed if you put $25,000 into advertising with Google and you saw a site asking people to click the ads. It's a complete waste of advertising.

No it hasn't at all. Hosting, a URL, CAPTCHA such as solvemedia, are you human, ect are a necessity. Are you human links over ads are not.

I get you're saying it's fine to use away from ads (and I agree), but it's hardly a necessity.

amen

This is the Internet. You can complain about anything no matter how stupid it sounds.


Always, always, always report sites to Adsense that use this dirty tactic to make you accidently click ads.

Dont you think you can change the script of faucet box if you made a faucet? no if you set the time in admin control from faucetbox you cannpot change the timer countdown... if you see like you said site has countdown 300min but in the site is 30060 mins. its a fake faucet..

Sorry but I don't see any of the honest, long time running faucets placing "anti-bot" links.

That's just a dirty trick to steal from advertisers and very bad to the faucet ecosystem overall.

If a faucet doesn't financially work as a owner expect, it's his problem, need to learn how to run a faucet efficiently without cheating/forcing people to click on ads.

BTW I don't even want to mention those faucets who ask/force users to enable popups and click on one Adsense ads to be able to claim.

At first only a couple of anti-bot links were there which were clearly visible, then it was increased to up to 10, then some admins came up with the strategy to hide links using background, then some of them started placing links between ads, if clicking once was not enough some faucets are using double click strategy and finally I have seen a handful of faucets with click and drag dots to box anti-bot system. Yeah like the OP mentioned anti-bot links are indeed a necessity, but using it for purposes other than bot abuse is pathetic. A bot is not going to click clearly visible anti-bot links then why hide it and use complex techniques. This has to do more with getting clicks and not paying users, anti-bot is just a lame excuse.

Guys...

I think that has no problem with the REAL antibot click links. I mean... Maximun of 3 links askinf for clicks in an special and radomic order for example.

Bots can not read and understand random order to do tasks.

The problem is that faucet owners are not using anti-bot links. They use links to get attention to Adsense ads or to generate misleading clicks.

This his prohibited by the Google Adsense rules and I think that sooner or later they will have their account banned from Google.

You guys don't support this type of neat and clean faucet ( http://faucetrank.com/faucet ) that's why anti bot faucet coming online every day because more people support such faucet that's truth.

Hi all.

Maybe those links placed tooooo close to ads is sort of shady.
But: when you close all ads, then you can't accidentally click on an ad anymore.

So then you press ctrl+a and you can clearly see the links to click on.
Then you go: click click click click click click
and you're done.

Mind you: 90% of the time those links aren't required to click on.
It's just a trick for getting more clicks. So you perform this trick is you must click
those pesky "are you human" links.

Same for fake timers: people focus on them, but all you need to do is enter wallet address,
complete captcha, and press the submit button. 90% of the time, those timers are fake.

English please

At my faucets the antibotlinks are placed very well .. if you are blind you will solve it easy .. with a modern mobile device too  ..

but there are a lot of faucet owners they place it really bad also they make a copy of the captcha picture .. and if you dont look at the link you enter an ad site .. i dont like this methods .. and i as a faucet owner whould do this never  .. also i dont like this crazy pop-ups from propeller-ads but you have to implement this a while before you can place banners .. stupid idea anyway...

True. Antibot is not just the greed of faucet owners. Some place such antibot too close to ads maximizing the chances of misatkely clicking the ads. Which is not an ethical practice but what we should realise in antibot is really useful in preventing bots from claiming the faucet.

now i understand why my adsense account ban because of im not robot.. i hope i can make another adsense account and i ad again the ads with im robot..
Also i saw some faucet with dancing spot running on the screen and they will say that click that spots and you will get bonus.. that one will ban too..
