Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

My first post here, I'm trying myself as a faucet admin, and I've created one using FaucetBox script and modified it a bit.

Feel free to give me suggestions how to make it better, protect it from the bots, get it to different rotators and most importantly how to monetize it.

Here is the link: http://btctap.hol.es/ (http://btctap.hol.es/)

I'm offering 30% ref commission.

I visited your site and see this

client error 117B

Publishers:How can I fix this?

You know that all users dont like popads ;D
Goodluck mate.

Hi,

Thanks for your visit, did you put in www in front? You should access the site directly, I'm working to get the www issue fixed, it's with Solvemedia.

Anyway thank you very much for your visit mate!

Cheers

Nice faucet, but i don't see the possible rewards and chances to earn. I received 100 satoshi on first claim, it's not so bad reward for 5 min faucet and it was really fast to claim... But i would like to see the chances to earn each prize.

Thanks for 100 satoshi.

The first thing that users/visitors does not like are the popups which was showed to me when i tried to solve the captcha, about other ads it is ok, and thanks i got 150 satoshi was sent to you on FaucetBOX.com.

When I tried to claim the faucet reloaded and nothing happened. Also the captcha isn't really good readable don't make it to frustrating for the people who claim.

When i tried it worked good to me and the captcha was good and readable (captcha from solve media), i have the adblock turned off but the annoying part is popup but hope OP will earn from this (tested again the captcha looks good)

Tried your faucet and it paid but the following are the improvements that I would like to suggest since you asked for it:

1. A better domain extension to .es (.com or .net)
2. Get rid of the pop up ads since it's really annoying and that will hold you back from keeping regular visitors
3. The layout it's to simple and dry, make it much more professional and colorful
4. There's a grayish box on the background of each ad slot, you have to get rid of them as well since it has made your faucet disorganized
5. You forgot about the favicon ;)

first time trying your faucet and get 100 satoshi and because i can claim the rewards for every 5 minutes i guess the rewards is quite good
but could you increase Referral commission? because 30% is still low for me

Please remove the popup ad. It is so annoying that i do not come back to such faucet.

Kotone: The www issue is now fixed on Solvemedia, thanks for pointing this out.
mrcash02: This I have removed intentionally, also because I'm experimenting with the precentages to adjust them based on my revenues. I may consider putting it back if the test works for me.
n691309: Is there a way to find out what is causing the pop-up? I would also like to get rid of it. For the ads I've signed none of them should be creating it. Can you help me to find out from which ad network is it coming from?
SFR10:
1. Domain will come if the experiment will work, my intention is to gain some traffic via rotators and there the domain name hardly matters. So my plan is to move to a real domain if I get this working.
2. As said to n691309, can you help me to find out where is it coming from? I want to make the site as user friendly as possible.
3. Unfortunately I'm not a designer, can you point out to me in which direction should it go? I personally like very simplistic sites and I'm trying to keep it simple.
4. The gray boxes are still from development as I wanted to get my head around the code and therefore marked the different parts in different colors. I'll set them back to white now.
5. Favicon? You mean if people store my page as a favorite I should make a icon for it? Nice idea, I like it. Should be a simple one to implement.
hasiramasenju: The ref commission is a test as the whole winning precentages, I will experiment with those numbers in the future.
kwaasteniet: Help me, where is it coming from...

Thank you all for a review! Keep them coming.

Any more ideas how to monetize it? As I'm afraid I'm giving out more than I'm earning.
For now I've used many different ad networks and still figuring it out which one is the best.

Please note, I've put the site online today ;)

not is better add the complete rewards and not only the maximum ? because if minimum is low, more people don't open a site

superscommessebitcoin: I've added the minimum now on the frontpage.

@all: I think I've managed to remove the pop now, can someone confirm?

No, when I tried solve captcha, pop-up opened.

No, it is still there, the popup shows immediately after i click to write the captcha, i tried to clean the cache and changed browser so it is still there.

Please fix client error. And remove that pop ads. On mobile phone is hard to close these ads that days that your phone has viruses etc... Please remove it, then i will use it.

LTU_btc, n691309 and creepland: I removed again some of the ads from the faucet. Can you please check if the pop-up is there? Any hints how can I figure out which one is causing it? All the ads I've placed should be impression ones and none of them a pop-up. Kindly request you to do another test. Your feedback is much appreciated.

The best way to  monetized your site is to have a Google Adsense in it. But that will be your next major problem because Adsense is very strict now about faucet sites. Or you can combine all available ads network that you can get for your site, but IMO, it is still not enough compare to what you can get from GA (that's if GA will accept your application). But you can try.

alfaboy23: Adsense is my target, but I first want to generate some traffic and more content on the page. The validation process is running but I may get rejected as the site content is still minimal.

I got 100 sats, thanks.

The favicon is not related to the favorite bookmarks !
It is displayed in the browser tabs.

Here your faucet's favicon is empty while that of forum's is of Bitcoin logo.

thanks for 100 Satoshi but this is to low reward to come back


kind regards

I have tried your site 5 times and every-time I am rewarded 100 satoshis only.
What is the probability of winning higher amounts ? Please specify.

apoorvlathey: Nice addition, I've fixed it now. Thank you! I'm still experimenting with it, for now the probability to win bigger is 20%
felicita: Well it's every 5 minutes

I did a restart now, the first one got ripped really badly ;)

Now it's PHP based and I'm approving all of the cashouts manually.

I'm still at the very beginning to get some proper advertising on the page to be able to monetize this fun :)

http://btctap.hol.es (http://btctap.hol.es)

All I can see is ad. There are too many. A-ads has the least income giver. You might want to try mellowads or coinads.

For mellowads you need 10k views a day, don't have that yet, so cannot do it or am I wrong?

Is coinads paying for views too or only for clicks?

First cashouts have now been sent!

I've lowered the limit to 300 Satoshis, so in worst case you after bit more than on hour and six claims, you'll get paid.

I've just added a new game, if you are bored to wait for 12 minutes - Coin Flip. Enjoy!

http://btctap.hol.es (http://btctap.hol.es)

Nice payout for 12 minutes.

I think you forgot to edit this text here :


BTW, I disabled my ad-block so that your earnings won't affect.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing it out, it was my javascript test to catch adblockers.
I've removed the text now.

Hi all,

I've just added rotator to my faucet, feel free to post your faucets, I'll review them and add them to the rotator.

For now, it's a very simple one, but I'm planning to add more functionalities to it:
- Reporting of a scam/broken faucet
- Showing which payment method, direct or instant
- etc..

Hi all,

I've just launched a new game in my faucet it's called Double Up.

Rules are simple:

• A card is drawn from a 52-card deck.
• You can bet the card either to be low or high
• Low cards: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
• High card: 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King

If you draw 7, you lose.
