It's nice to have refs, but sometimes they only give you 20 - 60 sats per visit. With only about 2,500 sats per day, refs aren't the biggest part of my earnings. I earn at least 150,000 satoshi daily from faucets - it's all in which list you use. And it's better to use a list than a rotator - lots of big faucets can't be used in a rotator, so it may be easier and faster, but a list has more money in it.
If you want to earn a lot with a little work, try this:
open a new browser window. Open tabs for all the variable rewards faucets - the ones where you need to wait 5 minutes or more to claim. These include
moonbit.co.in, chronox.co.in, fieldbitcoins.com, robotcoingame.com, landofbitcoin.com, jetco.in, dancefaucet.com and I include boxbit.co.in and
http://goldbitcoin.biz/faucet Claim from all of them, and then shrink the window. Forget about it for an hour, then go back and claim from all of them again. You will claim about 30,000 satoshi per hour only using 9 faucets and about 5 minutes! When you shrink the window, have LandOfBitcoin on top, so it keeps working.
