So about 10 days ago or so, I started a bitcoin faucet. It uses Faucetbox api, and I plan to add all of the faucetbox supported coins, as well as a couple of others like Ethereum and Vertcoin.
Anyway... I took Adsense off my site, because I already use adsense for other things and didn't want to be banned forever. Apparently that's how Google rolls... So I went with a-ads. It seems to be working okay, but the main problem is lack of profit. Although, that doesn't seem to be a-ads, so much as the bots who seem to be draining my faucet. Almost all of them seem to be coming from Russia, with a few from India, China, Poland, Chile, etc. I tried blocking all of those countries, but they still seem to be getting through. I know this because hundreds of thousands of satoshis are being drained in a matter of hours. But I don't want to have to do the temporary lock thing from faucetbox, and I want to stop at least the majority of these bastards.
The api admin panel lets you block people from certain countries. Which I did. This seemed to work for a while, but now it isn't. If the site knows they're coming from, say Russia, why isn't the block on Russian traffic working? The main thing is stopping these damn bots. My BTC faucet on my site is at this address:
btc.cryptos4all.comI do plan to add some actual content, as well as the other faucets both at the home page
cryptos4all.com which I messed up with HTML and will likely remake with Wordpress, or Drupal or something... But like I said, the main thing is stopping at least most of the bots.
But my second concern is if adding a second ad network would increase profits? I tried blockadz, but their html codes don't integrate properly with the a-ads ones, so it makes the ads all mis-aligned. I wasn't a fan of MellowAds' requirements either.. I do really hope a veteran faucet owner could help me fix my situation... Thanks so much.
much peope say and warn is use google adsense with faucet, because several people accident account adsense baned with faucet site integrated account google adsense, so don't use google adsense with faucet you can use bitmedia or equal
