[Dailybitcoins.org] Bitcoin faucet, sponsored by ads

[TravisE]

Sorry for the late reply; was ill for several days.

I was reloading the page, and it offered a *0.00000* bounty a few times in a row... bug?

Have you saved a screenshot?

Dang, didn't even think of it. But now I know to the next time I see something odd.

Also, the bounty image doesn't seem to actually be changing on every refresh, just some of them.

It may be a problem with your browser. Latest Firefox works perfect!

It seems Firefox 10 had glitched out for some reason (it was reusing cached images that it wasn't supposed to). I restarted it and it works fine again.

Thanks for the great site, by the way.

I'm considering buying some advertising space, but I don't like this: "Visit advertisers’ websites and increase your chances to get bigger prizes!"

Is that even true? How can visiting advertisers websites increase the chance to get a bigger prize?

By increase the visitor's chance of getting a better prize when the visitor clicks one of the ads?

So, if the visitor clicks an advertisers link, that visitors chance of getting a better prize is adjusted in the system?

I've been wondering myself, too. Does it simply say that since by clicking ads, you indirectly increase your chances of better prizes by providing revenue for the faucet, or is does the system actually increase your odds of hitting an open prize if you clicked on them?

The time interval between prizes decreases (i.e. more payouts being made) depending on the clicks made in previous defined time period. Therefore you will catch prize faster.

So, you are telling your visitors to click all the ads, even if they aren't interested in the offerings? I think I'll pass on paying for that kind of clicks.

No, I never urge users to click ALL ads!
The script even not count multiple clicks from the same IP made in narrow time interval.

P.S. If you are worried about this, just buy impressions.

I have enough skills to create URL shortening service, but I don't this it is profitable. There are bunch of similar services for free.

hey giantdragon, what do you think about CoinAd.com?

I think CoinAd's owner made a mistake placing Google Ads. Before opening Daily Bitcoins I asked Google if they accept these type of websites and they answered NO. This mean account Google can forfeit all funds earned.

http://adf.ly isn't just an URL shortening service. ( there are others like it )
It will advertise a website for 5 seconds ( and the website is paying adf.ly to be advertised )
The main difference from adf.ly and a common URL shortening service ( like goo.gl ), is that many forums/blogs/websites are using it will all their links!
They could use goo.gl ( example ), but they will not get any money from it.

Look at links in this blog: premiumhunt2012.blogspot.com ( I don't own it, it's just an example )
All links uses a linkbucks.com ( it's another service like adf.ly )

There are many other blog/forums that uses this kind of services.

I think that the main appeal that a service like adf.ly/linkbucks.com but with Bitcoin currency is that you will be able to pay "more" than others because of the lower fees in bitcoin transactions than paypal/alertpay.

I think most users really hate services like adf.ly. Also I have read that many sites even prohibited links to adfly. It looks like spam!!!
