@superiorus - Wow! Nice stats you got there. What a small world we live in. I thought I was the only faucet owner in our country
.
Now that you reminded me of those times, I will share my faucet story too!
I operated BitHell and BitHeaven. I also helped one of my friends with "TastyBTC".
I will cut the details and say just this: If you really want to something (generally speaking), you have to do it! I started my faucet business knowing almost nothing. I had google on my side and slowly but surely I started my first website (I only owned some free websites when I was younger, but those were just experiments for me).
Also, I was blessed to have the opportunity to talk to people much smarter than me. One of them was a girl designer and scripter (her name is Mendie , but I can't find her btalk username - sorry mendie!). She helped me a lot and I am sure I wouldn't have had such a great success without her. Thank you again, Mendie!
These were all of my earnings with both faucets:
I had an astonishing 7,5 million pageviews in total. I never believed I could accomplish something like this. It is not about the profits in the end. Money just comes and goes. It's about the fact that I, a simple man, had created something that was seen and used by lots and lots of people.
This faucet experiment was the most impressive thing I have ever accomplished online. And because of that I know that you never have to give up. I know it's a cliche , but it's true. I surely have learnt some important lessons on the road.
P.S: I was never banned by adsense. The reason I got out of this business is because I couldn't keep up with BOTS. My faucets were getting drained and adsense revenue started to shrink . In the end, it was simply not worth it... I somehow regret that I lost the website domains, but there is a slight possiblity I might try again someday. Maybe not with faucets, but surely something related to Bitcoin.
