Title: Faucet Sites and Advertising bitcoin sites are all Scammers
Post by: V.Lace on February 15, 2016, 10:43:15 AM
Anyone who here is running a site like this is nothing but a scammers.  I advertise and see tons of VPS traffic and bot traffic.  These sites are a waste of advertising and send nothing but junk traffic.  There just as bad as the GPT sites.

I used to run a few faucets, and there was a large amount of junk traffic/bots(I never did figure out how they were able to still bypass the recaptcha), a rough estimate is about 80% of the traffic. But, the other 20% were actual users, many of them messaged me on here to thank me for my service. If you run a site thats main business plan is to give away free stuff, you will run into scammers.

That is why it is junk traffic, is not a good source of advertising.  Probably that is why it is so cheap
