how is the faucet doing so far?
I'm interested because I want to create one myself,but without google it is very hard to reach profit margins
also I'm concerned about how well is it protected vs bots and other bad people who can drain you worse than your gf after a week of abstinence
First of all, my gf knows it doesn't have to take a week.
Faucet is doing alright. Obviously, I don't have a lot of info, since I've only just begun. The faucet has only been in operation for 2-3 days. But I can extrapolate.
The types of ads I have placed are the A-ads. These are not all that lucrative, but for the moment earnings are roughly keeping pace with faucet claims. That's probably more do to the fact that I don't yet have a lot of traffic to the site, but it's very good to know that my ad placement is working efficiently. So the trick is proper scaling. I must be doing something right with the payout structure. But this won't work forever as is.
The other source of revenue would be solvemedia, except that it hasn't made a darnd thing.
100 typeins, and yet nothing. I suspect the CAPTCHA isn't producing the commercialized puzzles. That is possibly due to either cheap traffic, or not enough original content for its algorithm to detect the 'right' type of ad, or both.
As for security and concerns of bots, the plugin comes with tools for blacklisting specific addresses as well as IP ranges. And the best thing is the logs and statistics show a good amount of information of specific accounts. This way I can investigate further into certain accounts that show behaviors of bots or drainers. And the claim button is dynamic too; never in the same spot twice as to avoid certain bots.
You might think that is not enough protection, but I asked Ofir about this. He responded saying that in his experience, the blacklist works well enough.
