[EDU] Faucet risks

[SUFY]

Faucets aren't going to go away, I'm glad someone has taken the initiative to educate about the ins and outs. I've tried them in the past and gave up pretty quick because they pay shit, but I never had any idea about malvertizing so you can always learn something new obviously.
I'm curious though, how much can one make by running a faucet? It's passive income so you could have several going all the time, but if everyone avoids clicking your ads you won't make anything. It would be interesting to see a breakdown by a successful operator, but I doubt it could be very much...

Anyway, just discovered the whole micro-payments child board. A very welcome addition to bitcointalk nice!

EDIT- superiorus posted at the exact same time as me, half answering my question. Can you quote $$$ amounts of your earnings?

Adbit.co shows that MoonBit.co.in makes 0.55 BTC/day from AdBit alone. MoonBit also has ads from a-ads & custom ones, so definitely more than 1 BTC/day. I'd estimate 40-45 BTC gross per month.

I just started "faucet experiment" last friday. Generally I give away roughly the same amount that I get through ads. But I have to say that only ads that provide good income by now is Adsense. So there is this problem that I cannot striaght move this money back to the faucet. All the bitcoin as systems give not enough money to be worth anything - I actually get more money by posting a few posts on bitcointalk, because of the signature campaign (And I am participating in a really low paying signature campaign - so this is the level of income by now..)
I get around 100 visitors per hour (google analytics) - and this is almost a steady number since 3 days.
I get around 3-7 clicks a day on adsense - I do not use any "tricks", I do not click myself or ask anyone about it.

There is always good and bad to everything, faucet is no different.

The good side is faucet build bitcoin businesses and spreading the bitcoin information on the web.

I was missing for some time but I'm glad to see that this forum was finally created. Big thank you to the staff members that stand behind its creation and moderation. Now newbies can have a place to look at faucets in peace and the rest of the forum's members can spend their time here without having to experience the clutter faucets were creating.

that's incredible! even with all the time and effort spent getting the url out there and building good SEO its still a great payday. I'm still skeptical though. Are the adbit stats honest, do you think? or do they inflate their numbers to get new customers?

I did blogs a few years ago with adsense ads on them, it took a while to get going but I was eventually making really good money, well decent anyways... at first I made next to nothing, but once I got my traffic up I made around 100$ a day, some days much more. my highest payday was 700$. this is all because i was doing things that are not recommended. I stuffed the highest paying keywords into every new post I put up. I had the highest paying keywords written out on a paper and i would write fictional stories based entirely on those keywords. It was several months worth of a story about a guy attending law school... university...he eventually winds up in an experimental medical facility. It was ridiculous but I honestly could fit 3 or 4 high paying keywords into almost every sentence. it works like a charm. those .edu ads can pay a couple of hundred per click if your traffic is good enough.

anyways, when i started making over 5K$ a month google banned me for life. Apparently their advertizes don't like bogus satire blogs that keyword-bomb like crazy. oh well.

Care to share your URL, even if it does not exist anymore ?

i not long been in the faucet game (5th month), now got 3 faucets running. You could say that stats are hard to beleive on Adbit and various other sites, adblocking must be going on but not yet reviewed it.  With regards Adsense yeah its nothing much to quit your daily job, its hardly anything but still requires me to put a lot up front of money in, I would say on month 3-4 I stopped advertising the sites on adbit etc., but I am just over ROI now including the hosting costs.  It's just a bit of fun.

[kotwica666]

Faucets are trendy and I own one of the best    ( I dont write this post to advertise my faucet )

It is not so easy to manage a faucet (I mean a decent one with serious intentions)

There are many things you must set :  website design/script , dedicated server, custom modifications, security, etc.

Also the balance between revenue and payments could be a problem (must test and test to find the right value)

It is..

testing and testing.. I own few faucets from months and i'm still testing.. It is almost impossible to write some calculations because everyday is different.

Keeping good balance between revenue and claims.. it is very difficult and takes time, mostly for that faucets disappears..

For me, a certain limit is 1000 satoshi. If faucet will give you more per hour (I mean minimum) it may seem suspicious. Not always, but for me this is definitely too much to keep faucet alive.

Faucets are a big scammer stealling our time for teeny satoshi,
thank you for you effort

They could be fake, but who knows? Those sites are really popular and still running with great payout amounts, so they must be making enough to fund the faucet + pocket some $. They did put in a lot of effort and money to get where they are now though, so I'd say they are deserving.

I think use blakclist MONITOR, i create this proyect, when one site not pay i  add in blacklist!

i think a beggar earns more in a day than someone claiming faucet whole day for pennies.

[clipman77]

In order to gain a visit in the first two days, I set the amount of more than 1000 Satoshi, and visits to the site for one day was about 30,000.

only 1 BTC ?

I pay over 5 BTC / month for bitcoinspace.net/freebitcoins

[Kprawn]

lol I am 12 and what is this?!?!

no, not really...faucets sure seem to make some people mad though. I could care less, if there's money to be made they will continue, which leads me to believe that there must be some money to be made running faucets... Of course, in some parts of the world 5$ a day is actually a sustainable income...not where I live, I just spent 20$ on two coffees and a danish!

Anyways, I look at anyone using faucets the same way I look at someone picking a penny up off the sidewalk. If its worth it to you to do it, be my guest, I've known what its like to be destitute....

We need more people with your kind of attitude. Why do some people have to talk down someone, when they use faucets?

You have a great outlook on this... If they want to host a faucet or use a faucet... just leave them to do it. The fact that you are earning a good income, does not give you the right to talk down on someone else. {By you, I am talking about the people doing this}

There are many people out there, who are using faucets as a extra income to what they doing, not as a only source of income.

I have been toying with them, as a fun experiment. {Using it for cheap adverizing and getting micro income through referrals}

Leave the people to make up their own minds.. Do not force your opinion, based on your situation, down on them..their situation might be worlds away from yours. 

[winspiral]

Why do you think ever that a faucet owner want absolutly make profit...
For you if a faucet owner gives more than his income...than you are doubtfull.

[Inftrn]

if u are a owner maybe have a risk's, depends if is u only profit.
but, never mind jajaja i love cryptocurrency jajaja bitcoin what ever. it's awesome
