i thought i would be nice and pass along a piece of info that adfly sent to me. as i said last night, all i wanted was for this guy to be professional and apologize for using obscenities, since he did not i emailed the link shortener services about this website, most simply throw back a form email and then investigate on their own, but i got an interesting reply from adfly.
according to them, an adfly link on your website can return to the same website under circumstances. this is a paraphrased version of what they relayed to me and it may help you out or others that intend to use the service in such a way.
1. You can return to your website provided that you briefly hit another site on the way. For example sitea.com links to adfly and that shortened link goes to sitea.com, that can happen, but first you need to hit siteb.com. so, sitea.com.........adfly short link.....siteb.com.......sitea.com
2. However, if your site provides more than one service and the services differ enough, then you can bounce off another page in your own site. For example, think about microsoft.....you can go microsoft.com/windowsdownloads to adfly and then to microsoft.com/rewards and if the rewards page then forwards back to windowsdownloads, so be it.
since you have this faucet as a subpage of klondike, you can use adfly without being banned going this route. faucetsite to adfly to a subpage of klondike that has a title that does not mention the faucet and then bounce to the faucet. i personally would put the bounce page in a sub-folder and a no-follow bot script above it so that the search engines do not include the sub-page in the klondike site. using a quick php forward off the subpage, you can accomplish the same thing you are doing now and keep from being banned from adfly. you could also use the subpage as a traffic info collector and gatekeeper for those trying to scam the faucet, you can create a separate page for each shortener service and have them all in the same folder and keep that folder off the search engines, even stick your own captcha on the sub-pages with a short script causing the user to enter a captcha on each Xth pass through.
i am not a dick, i simply expect professional behavior when doing business. everything i say here and on this forum is meant to help either the service creator or those using the service. you go with your current set up and the shortener services will ban you in heartbeat. you change the timers without updating the page and the users will dwindle to nothing.
you need help setting this system that i suggest up, let me know. But, cuss at me during business and expect to be left hanging. be pissed, be angry, but be professional about it. trust me,. i would love to see a new format of faucet and your idea occurred to me both for crypto and for fiat, but you have to keep those services happy or they boot you and keep the money.
last note.....an awesome, but much harder bouncing system would be to use php(probably) to create the bounce page(maybe javascript woudl be better). then use an api to create the short link. in other words, i hit your faucet, immediately javascript creates the page in the subfolder, calling it something like ffhhdd.php, writes the page content to that page, hits adfly api and creates the short link, then updates the current link on that page(that is a rough one), maybe putting the link into a variable and the linked box uses the variable as the anchor. this also stops a quick bot, because if the bot is too quick, the link variable has not had time to populate.
the last part is just a quick thought and not a complete solution, but will keep bots and scammers one more step behind.
