It is rather useless to use all the best advertising services if your faucet isn't going to maintain some decent traffic, there are already thousands of faucets but none of them are successful in long term not even short term.
Best thing to do is to first respect and value your visitor's time and effort by paying amounts even if you are paying from your pocket but when you had enough loyal visitors then you can lower the payouts.
Lets be honest if it was you would you keep claiming in a faucet if it wasn't worth your time?
Faucets aren't meant to get income on their own. They're a pillar of businesses, which most site owners neglect to realize. You don't use them to earn money, you use them to drive traffic to your OTHER businesses that have income potential.
