Title: Dramatic fall in referral claims Post by: Adam556 on October 21, 2018, 09:23:17 AM As the title suggests, has anyone else experienced a dramatic fall in their referral claims over the past two weeks?
I've been running campaigns across many of the popular faucets and my numbers have remained steady for many months. But recently both the number of new referrals and the claim figures of existing referrals have fallen significantly. It makes me wonder if people are losing interest in Bitcoin and crypto in general. Title: Re: Dramatic fall in referral claims Post by: kicktracer011 on October 21, 2018, 08:43:01 PM Might be saturated, the faucets adding more annoying elements, lower earnings etc.
Personally I wont pay to advertise faucets since not many of them survive longer than a year, I prefer to advertise them with organic traffic. Those referrals are usually more dedicated too. Title: Re: Dramatic fall in referral claims Post by: LTU_btc on October 21, 2018, 09:26:45 PM I didn't noticed dramatic fall of referral claims in recent weeks. But I see trend that my income from referrals getting smaller month by month. I analyzed traffic on my faucet list and it's stable more or less and even growing sometimes. But despite that I'm struggling to get new referrals, old referrals stop claiming. Same situation on all faucets - Freebitco.in, Faucethub, Coinpot. My earnings only cover histing expenses, but I have only minimal profit. I'm not sure that it's still worth to promote faucets.
You're partially right that people are loosing interest in cryptos after wild last year. But these who are new to crypto world aren't interested in faucets. They prefer things like bounties or airdrops. And another reason - rewards of faucets are really low. And it's not that easy to claim as it was in past - popups, shortlinks, hidden java script miners makes faucets not attractive to use.

Seems like people moved to auto faucets which give a lower total referral payout!
If I look at the traffic on my site with Faucet Listst I see the same trend, the page with auto faucets gets 10x more visits than all de rest. People even prefer the low timer and low paying autos above some higher paying autos with an average timer. It seems like they go for the EXP on FaucetHub and not really for the coins? Greets!

Thanks for the info here. What kind of sites are you talking about? Can you give me some examples? Thanks, Adam Title: Re: Dramatic fall in referral claims Post by: Kema on October 30, 2018, 01:07:42 PM If anything referrals are going up on my faucets?
Maybe you should secure a referral code for my VIP faucet? ;) Title: Re: Dramatic fall in referral claims Post by: faucetuser007 on November 02, 2018, 11:51:20 PM Thanks for the info here. What kind of sites are you talking about? Can you give me some examples? Thanks, Adam They are the typical Auto Faucets aka Floodgates with low payout and short/fast timer and direct payout on FaucetHub. I'll send you a pm with a few example urls so I don't "contaminate" this topic! Greets! ;) EDIT: Can't pm you... Quote User 'Adam556' has not chosen to allow messages from newbies.

No problem, there where some recent changes here that altered some (security) settings...PM is working now! ;) Title: Re: Dramatic fall in referral claims Post by: Kema on November 09, 2018, 12:14:47 PM I tried every thing to get traffic and atleast to get back my investment, however no luck. I'm loosing and may shutdown by new year and stop worry about crypto overall. 👉★Claim 2000 litoshi >0.001 USD Litecoin LTC EVERY 1 MIN & 10% REFFRAL BONUS★ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4733594.0) I'm sorry to hear that. But yeah, I know a lot of faucet owners have a hard time breaking even and are forced to close shop. This is one on the areas where I've been putting in a lot of work lately. My new web service is actually focused on this specific issue... I'm not familiar with your faucet, but staying in the black is certainly doable. It might take some work, but it's far from impossible. |
