But as a faucet owner, I must tell you that it is extremely difficult to keep faucets running
So close down
so many users who are not willing to do the faucet a favor by sparing one little tiny bit of a second to keep the faucet alive.
Sounds like you're talking about false clicks. Why do the faucet a favor by cheating the advertiser with a useless click?
Advertising is expensive. You'd be pissed if you put $25,000 into advertising with Google and you saw a site asking people to click the ads. It's a complete waste of advertising.
The anti-bot link have become a necessity rather than a choice
No it hasn't at all. Hosting, a URL, CAPTCHA such as solvemedia, are you human, ect are a necessity. Are you human links over ads are not.
I get you're saying it's fine to use away from ads (and I agree), but it's hardly a necessity.
but I am completely on your side when it comes to forcing users to click on ads by placing it really near the ads. That isn't necessary but many faucet owners are doing it.
amen
However, I am not going to complain because it is 'free bitcoins' we are talking about after all.
This is the Internet. You can complain about anything no matter how stupid it sounds.
Always, always, always report sites to Adsense that use this dirty tactic to make you accidently click ads.
