AdSense for faucets.

[daddybios]

Many administrators faucets explicitly urge to click on the Adsense ads. These faucets are still working.
Adsense does not send them for it in the ban? They receive payment? How is this possible?

Try reporting them to google, and see how much more they would last, especially if you screenshot the requirement for users that urges them to click on ads.
They are getting away and still are operating because noone made a complaint yet, so you can have the honor and do a world a favor.
I still dont get why people waste time with faucets, theyre nothing more than a lifedrain, unless you make a bot for them.

Are you sure they are using adsense? I thought adsense only allowed you to have 3-4 ads per page and usually most faucets that ive seen have 10, literally. So maybe thats why they are not banned

I know that the most famous Bitcoin faucet which is freebitco.in as far as I know use Google Adsense but I don't see why it won't last , they are placing ads like everyone else , not sure if asking peopleto disable Adblock is illegal tho . for the others ... most of them use something else like Adbit.co and other Advertising networks that use Bitcoin so they basically don't care

I'm not a snitch that would send reports. Let them earn.
Perhaps it is time to create your faucet. And earn Adsense.

The Bad Guy,
I do not mean to disable Adblock.
sample: "CLICK ADS! Hello!!! Make sure to always click ads!"

Oh well , then this is illegal and not allowed by the rules of Adsense , you can see here : https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/48182?hl=en

"In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:
--
Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language.
--

I guess they are simply lucky then , most of the time people report them so they get banned and on this case they didn't because they use faucets so they earn (both of the parties)

ah no worries, google will find them and ban them, maybe for lifetime..just matter of time.

[OttomanEmpire]

There are too many people who use even though it is prohibited. But google find them and booooooommm! Ban forever! Dont worry.

[locopao]

Most faucets that are using adsense are like "hit and go" projects. It's just a matter of time google finds them, especially when payday arrives... And the ban is the worst thing you can get especially when google ads are your only source of income.

P.S. I didn't know that messages "please disable AdBlock" is violation of ToS. Is that correct??? If so, EVERY FAUCET does it, so everyone must get banned.

nope, is ok to notify users that they are blocking ads and ask them to disable it for the site..but is not ok to ask them to click on add..

[EternalWingsofGod]

Goolge only bothers to research if they actually had a decent amount of revenue worth looking up or just by chance.
It's small change for them and faucets are tiny by nature

[Josef27]

Even you didn't ask visitor to click google ads on faucet, but putting the google ads are prohibited by them I think.

I ever applied once on my faucet and get rejected after that with "lack of contents" as the reason. Putting "what is bitcoin" and few pages and it still not qualified as one.

So, they just waiting to get blocked from adsense.

[Xialla]

yeah, it is highly risk stuff with adsense.) I'm not sure how it works now, but when I was active webmaster of several pages, lot of guys used adblock, google banned users on daily basis without explanation (just something like TOS violation wtf) and those bans are for lifetime.

from this perspective and effort, which you must but in (faucet script, webhosting, propagation, CPM, CTR...)...well not sure if it is even worth to run it.

But it is fun to run one. I love it when I'm testing on some codes and stuff, when it successful it would give me joy feelings or something, while giving something to others.

Also there's a lot alternative services other than google adsense like bitmedia, who almost work like adsense and already built for bitcoiners, so there is still another options for adveristing.

I had couple of years experience with web projects and adsense and if you are running some more technical oriented site (ie: blog about linux), majority (lets say 80%) using adblock by default and everywhere.

even if they don't use adblock, they had some kind of "add blindness" and there is very low possibility, that they will click on add. I had ~5k visits daily and my income from adsense for around 2-5$ per day. because you are paid for click and not for view and google is also reducing clicks by they internal mechanism all time and once again before end of month..I'm not sure if some faucets can profit in long term from any add service...but I don't think so..

[pooya87]

i think it is only a matter of time that google bans every website that is or looks like a faucet and don't give them ads anymore.

besides what they are doing is most probably considered fraud.

I previously used Google Adsense for a crypto coin blog. After a week Google banned my account because such topics are not allowed according the TOS. So, I guess faucets are not allowed either. Report them and they will likely be banned too.

WHAT???

There are so many btc news sites that are using google ads with no problem

I even use google ads in my own btc news aggregator (it's been 2 weeks already) and so far haven't received any notice...

Are you sure about that? I can't afford to loose my adsense account. I think i should check the ToS again, line by line...

EDIT: Just read through the ToS and couldn't find anything relative...

[tyz]

Yes, Google banned my account. The official description was that there were some links into the posts which referred to non legal sites according the TOS. I checked all the posts and there were only links to crypto projects, BTC gambling and faucet sites. Probably it was because of the gambling links. I have not got an answer from Google support yet.

In my experience Google will review websites only just before payout time and that's when they will ban the account and not payout. Explicitly telling visitors to click on Ads is against their ToS but they will let you earn until you reach $100 and it's time for payout. I wouldn't be surprised if they have cached versions of the website they can check to see if you changed the website to hide the fact you were asking for clicks. If you are very careful and follow the ToS you can get away with having AdSense ads (like freebitco.in does).
