Title: How "Free Bitcoins" sites work? Post by: Envite on January 31, 2013, 01:50:17 AM I have seen that some places give bitcoins for free, once an hour, or once/12h, etc.
How these sites work? Which income sources do they have? Why do they do this? I can simply not trust they're just nice people. ??? Title: Re: How "Free Bitcoins" sites work?

Maybe nice people, maybe they believe that getting in a newcomer will push up the value of their remaining bitcoins, or maybe they are just stupid. Title: Re: How "Free Bitcoins" sites work?

Each impression may not net much revenue, but add up all the views by "greedy" peeps coming to grab "free" microbitcoins... ;D

They use any form of advertising that brings in revenue. (Banners, text-link, popups, captchas, etc...) These make them much more than the few fractions of pennies they give out. |
