Seems you answered your own question buddy. As far as I know you get paid for the captcha a small amount and the add sense as well as any space for advertisement. Unless you have very high traffic you won't get paid much.

Anyway, make money from faucet is bad idea

most faucets are rubbish. but some faucets do give the operator a profit. it may not be a big profit, but profit is profit. the problem is that the traffic quality isn't worth a lot from faucets.

Some faucet sites use AdSense, but most faucets use other ad networks specifically geared towards Bitcoin such as A-Ads, Adbit.co, or CoinURL.

And not all CAPTCHAs can be monetized. I don't think reCAPTCHA supports it (or at least not by default). Solve Media definitely does.

Most faucet sites get money solely through advertisements. These are usually either pay-per-click or pay-per-impression ads or affiliate ads. The meaning of first two types is pretty obvious - i.e. the faucet owner gets paid whenever a visitor clicks (pay-per-click) or views (pay-per-impression) an ad. Affiliate ads can only make money if a visitor clicks on the ad and purchases a product or service using the faucet owner's referral link. Then the faucet owner gets a share of the sale in the form of an affiliate payment.

Unless you happen to own a hugely popular faucet such as Freebitco.in, most faucets aren't very profitable which is reflected by the amounts which they dispense out.

I read a really good post that said that the best faucets have a PLAN.

Planning is key. Starting a faucet with no Bitcoins and no referrals is pointless unless you're rich!

I will be writing an article about faucets soon - are you interested in starting one, matrix zion?

Even if a faucet does have a huge traffic I doubt that in the end it will make any money. Most faucets just earn enough to keep them going. You'll be lucky to earn enough from Ads and Captchas to keep it running, don't think you'll get rich from a faucet.

People lose interest in faucets as soon as they realize it's not worth it and this is why many faucets don't last too long.

they are non the less a good way to bring more people to the bitcoin world, they are good at doing this, people in general like the sound of free money, even if it is a tiny amount

in the end i don't think that any dev want money out their faucet

They mainly made money from all the banners around the faucet. Even solving captchas brings some cash for them.
Think about how less hey give you away (avg around 200 sats). This is so less that they still have a good return on invest.

i think the main thing that would make a faucet successful in attracting more people and as a result make more money, is being different and more attractive that others. since there are a lot of faucets with different payments and plans any new faucet that wants to be successful needs to do something different and attractive.

Profit form traffic.
Profit form advertisement another website

Faucets mainly earn revenue from advertisements. I used to own a faucet but I quickly realized I was losing more money than I was making. If you plan on making your own faucet, you will need to do a lot of advertising to get your faucet famous.

Faucets site earn money by Ad clicks.
Don't try any faucets, they just waste your time, you can easily earn more bitcoin by join a signature campaign.
A faucets may give you about hundred sathsio per hour, but you can earn 5000 sathsio per post as a newbie to join a signature campaign.

Faucets are a stupid way to make money. If you want a more effective way to make money that requires very little skill, try Mechanical Turk: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome

You can get paid with Amazon credit, and you can convert that to bitcoins using Purse.io: https://purse.io/

You right. You just get dust amount from faucet, build a faucet is better than earn money from faucet(just write capctha) of course with good management. Try to do small task, like coinworker or(find more: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985550.0 ). Or sell goods/service. Join sig campaign too

Faucets, it seems that they make more money from you than you from them :-)

In many cases it would be true.  Faucets pay very very little.  Ones that stick around do make a profit.  But they make it from lots and lots of people using it.

I for the life of me cannot explain why someone will sit at a computer for hours on faucets and hope for maybe 5 cents? Its crazy.

If they have good number of visitors, i think it's good idea to earn money
IF their visitors click ads on their faucet site

And they can use pop under ads too if they want fixed income from visitors, not depending on ads clicked. But this method is not good for faucet reputation in the future.

They also earn money from donation & captcha too
They could earn extra money if they share other faucet site with their refferal links

I know about earn money from ads such as google adsense, but earn money from captcha solving is something new for me.
Do you know how much rate / 1000 captcha solved?

[Xialla]

from adsense or some other PPC program, anyway, it is just matter of time until google block them, just because they are not producing any content etc. you will see:)

Who the hell actually donates to faucets? I see no logic in that. And the amount of money operators get for every completed captcha is tiny fractions of a cent.
