I think you are talking abou pinklink faucet isn't it?

what browser are you using? The behavior you described me is at least 3 days old.
Try co clear cache and cookies , probably you have some outdated browser or something - it cached wrong scripts.

if you using PC/Laptop - just refresh with Ctrl+F5 , otherwise clear cookies/cache for the pinklink domain

please let me know if it helped.

PS: Average speed of 1500+ faucet users is 38 seconds for 1 link that is very good in comparation with other shorteners

When you tried last time?
The limit of popups is 1 / hour on page 1,  2(3) / hour on page 2
removed 75% of popups

Just for curiosity i turned on some activity recording scripts (click tracking, javascript logging etc)...

It was a very bad surprise what i found! 59% of people used some advanced ad blockers, or even worse, created small javascript scripts that clicking to the buttons, or trying to solve captchas (i have easy diff hcaptcha for the users comfort).
So the last 5 hours i was reworking the security scripts behind the shortener and suspended all of these id*ot selfish claimers that forcing faucets / shortener owners to go in red numbers.

I will continue monitoring the situation, i hope i eliminated all of these parasites from my shortener service...
I am wondering how many "beginner" faucet owners has this problem and they are being sucked out of their satoshis without ad network rewards.

Off topic question (however i think nobody will answer  - here is so quiet also) :

Do you think there is still hope to have profitable faucets / shorteners / other services?

Guys i made some adjustments,  optimized for mobiles, tablets and desktop .
Finally cooperating with some bigger ad networks, waiting 2 more to respond. Then i can remove 1 of 2 pop ad networks and the shortener will be more user friendly.
Also made some changes in the design, now it's more pink-link

Drastically reduced the number of popups/popunders , also the number of ads, the CPM may be still around 1.9$

i will reduce the amount of pops,just need to chose the the best one.
the timer is needed for alexa ranking and for some ad networks
in few days it will be cleaner with top networks only,but i need to analyze which ones are the best, but if we can reach 3.5+$ CPM this way, it worth to close few popups per hour.

Updated the description, we are no more popup/popunder free.

Reason:
I was really angry when i saw the statistics, how many users are using adblocker software (47% of the completed links) and lowering our CPM. So I added some popunder scripts that very effectively detect adblockers. No worries, they are resetting every 1-2 hours when you are popping them out all

Now the good news:  Our CPM is 2.07$  - no geo limitations.
Waiting for the new ad network statistics to refresh and hopefuly the CPM will grow even more!

have a nice weekend my friends

Payments for this week sent to faucet owners that cooperating with us.

Done bro.

Update : 10.06.2021

removed popups/popunders, however the option in API is still there for the future usage.
Also removed low paying ad networks, dealing with bigger ones.

Good news - first time we have CPM above 1$   - exactly 1.02 $ .
So the site is ready for the faucets / bitcoin game pages for the site owners that have FaucetPay account.
However the income from out shortener is lower than from others, BUT: we have easy to complete 2 step shortlinks , that has unique (and easy) captchas that allowing human-only traffic.

have a nice day my friends

EDIT:
Also made a financial prognosis that is dynamic - here is the screenshot of my dashboard:

Update of API: 09.06.2021

Added optional parameter for API call, that allows few popups/popunders . More info in API documentation when you log in.
The amount is minimal, max 1 popup/popunder.
Default value for this parameter is "disabled"

Actual CPM is 0.994$  , the project is LIVE and in BETA phase, we will see what will do this parameter with the CPM

you can test this shortener in the official Pinklink faucet: https://pinklink.cc/faucet/

PS: Still awaiting ideas how to make Pinklink.cc the best URL shortener service and bring you as much money and comfort as it possible 

have a nice day!

Wow!

More than 2500 links generated, thanks for your trust!
To ensure , that you are dealing with humans only, i added alongside hcaptcha also a simple puzzle captcha that is harder to solve with bots / captcha solvers:



have a nice day!

Hi everyone,

i made a ultra simple and easy to claim faucet.
There are no popups, popunders, or redirects of naked women/men

The link is: https://pinklink.cc/faucet/

This is the first faucet that integrates our own - handmade URL shortener - that has a separate discussion here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5341821.0

The faucet is simple, allowed 10 claims / IP / day, no Google Recaptcha, no popunders, or heavy/naked content
You have 2 "resources" in this faucet - XP and Satoshis.
The reward table is the following:


XP          REWARDS
0..100   1 SATOSHI (50%) ; 2 SATOSHIS (50%)
101..200 1 SATOSHI (20%) ; 2 SATOSHIS (60%) ; 3 SATOSHIS (20%)
201..500   1 SATOSHI (10%) ; 2 SATOSHIS (30%) ; 3 SATOSHIS (50%) ; 4 SATOSHIS (10%)
501..1000   2 SATOSHIS (30%) ; 3 SATOSHIS (30%) ; 4 SATOSHIS (40%)
1001+   2 SATOSHIS (20%) ; 4 SATOSHIS (70%) ; RANDOM 6..15 SATOSHIS (10%)

Every claim rewards you a random 1..3 satoshis, the payout is processed automatically once you reach 10 satoshis, that is piece of a cake

enjoy! Waiting your ideas,comments

have a nice day

for banners: at least image link and ref lnk must be defined, with http(s)://
all needed data you have shown in the dashboard,but we will add more stats and data, whatever will help to the faucet owners

First few payments sent to faucetpay, based on URLs completed count.

Everything seems OK, now the system is officially UP and running every feature.
The CPM at the moment is somewhere around 5800  satoshis , it will change i think.

Now the URL is shorter (approx a half of the original)
Generated links has a separate menu - Link addition date is the part of this menu (but older links have fake link addition date)

To apply these changes, Ctrl+F5 refresh of the page is needed


Still nobody added his banner advertisement (that is completely for free)   , nobody wants 500 free satoshi to FuacetPay + absolutely free banner advertisement?? :O   

I wanted to test today the payment system, but i will need to postpone it due to inactivity (that is understandable)

FYI: Financial stuff: I am positively surprised, we generated first 800 satoshis from the ad etworks (pretty good with 10 links and 5 link clicks haha)

it points to ebay

Hi,

i am finishing the https://pinklink.cc URL shortener, that has "few" differences in comparation with others:

• no popups / popunders / redirects
• no heavy traffic
• easy to complete
• custom design , functions created from the scratch
• fast and secure
• no fixed CPM
• every registered user can have 1x 468x60 banner for free, that is the part of the URL shortened link. The chance to be shown depends on your links usage
• No registration, no email verification, just use your FaucetPay.io linked BTC address as a login. This will be the payment address

This shortener service has no CPM, but it will be probably lower than other shorteners, because i have no popunders and another annoying things. I will add more ad networks (that will increase the CPM) once they will accept this site (when it will be older / better alexa ranking)

Every finished URL will add to the owners account 1 virtual PINKIE
More PINKIEs = more global share ratio = the users will see your custom banner more often. Also you will be paid more (that is completely logical)

The webiste has only few functions  - just exactly what is needed, there is an option to create links manually , or via API (GET). The website is easy to use also for newbies (like me haha)

Payments will be processed via FaucetPay API to your linked BTC addresses, once we will get paymetns from ad networks. For the beginning, it will be once per month , then i am planning to do it once per 2 weeks, later weekly.

I am finishing the testing phase, i just need your cooperation - so please share with us your ideas / opinions.

1. If we could delete our own created shorten-URLs, via an API Request. - DONE
2. An overview (on the site or per API Request), to show all created links!- DONE

ctrl+F5 to apply the changes

In few hours bro, thanks for the idea 
Just don't be disappointed with the first few payouts, it will be probably trash, i will donate 20-30k satoshis for the hardest times
