I recently created a bitcoin faucet website but i am facing a big problem with the shortlinks :
when i count the number of people that visited the shortlinks i found that it is bigger than the ones counted by the ad network because  some  of these visitors already visited the shortlink from other faucets.

the question is : is there any method that check if the visitor already visited the ad before he access my faucet ? Huh Huh

How to deal with this loss?

You can do this in two ways:

 - Ask the user to access his cookie files: Here you can check whether the user has visited the ads site or not then let him watch and pay.
 - Pay after making sure that the ad has not been seen before: Since the user is forced to create an account in order to use your faucet, you can check whether the user has seen the ad before or not and then deduct that amount from an account before withdrawing.

the cookie files can be a solution.
Also, they must be sure that "no-counted" visitor does not come from an automated bot script. I guess the ad network has its own way of traffic filtering and they won't count trash clicks.
I think he must make it harder to access automated visits.

i will try building a check script that check witch ad networks has been visited by the user  then based on the result i will choose which one he will be sent to thank you my friend it may solve the problem

The cookie settings is probably the best workaround, but I won't be surprised if users could find a way to workaround cookies while still getting at your faucet. It's always going to be a problem for non-account sites, but you could do an internal check that sets the faucet only if the user sees enough ads -- which won't happen if he's already seen them.

I don’t know what form your faucet works on, but if you create a separate account for each user, it’s easy to keep track of all things.
You can also visit (Micro Earnings (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0)) to find out how other faucets works, and then estimate which method is most appropriate to solve this problem.

Generally, I noticed some grammatical errors, and based on the username, I think you can speak Arabic, if this is correct, you can discuss things in Arabic here --------> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=241.0.
good luck.

One way is to actually redirect users a few times or spam the popups when they click anywhere on the site.

As an end user, I'd loathe this but hey, a man's gotta eat too.
