So, you want to run a faucet?

[kotwica666]

 A faucet owner might not get rich but freebitco.in is probably making more money then some wall street guys out there.

 There is ALWAYS a demand for it if you are giving out free money.

Can you tell me where is secret? If freebitco.in is giving money how they make money? (Please don't tell me that they have money from AdSense)

You gamble there, with btc that they give you, so even if you lose, you are losing just that what they gave you.. They can only lose more if you win

 Also they get CRAZY amount of traffic , they are the most visited faucet so every ad they have makes them great amount of money. There are two type of ads , the ones you get and hope to get good clicks on them and make money and there are ones like a-ads where you sell it beforehand and even if they do not get clicks you are already paid , the second one makes them decent amount of money.

Do you have any example - how much you can get from A-Ads? From for example 10k views? I always was sure that more money is from AdSesne (clicks) than from other services..

 You can always go to a-ads and see for yourself...

Any link? I was using a-ads and never had clear info about earnings. Payment was dust. But maybe I did something wrong? Can someone say bit more about a-ads?

In your first few days you only get few satoshi per day even if you get thousands of visitors. I was aggressive about this too

Just give the banner time. And the show starts.
A-ads will cover most of your expenses
It will generate more than 100 times of what it generated in its 1st day with the same amount of traffic

IIRC Freebitcoin and Bitcoinzebra faucet both charge 0.01 BTC per ad per day. That is huge considering the amount of ads that they display on a daily basis. Mind you, they charge just for displaying the ad. If the site has a referral program, they may also use their own ID for referral commission as well. Even if they charge 0.01 / ad and there are 10 ads on their site every day (which seems to be the case) thats 0.1 btc / day and 3 BTC / Month, not including possible referral earnings. Also since freebitcoin offers a multiplier option, many people just go ahead and lose back the free satoshi that their earn. That goes back into their funds. They clearly had the first mover advantage and made huge profits due to the same!

Where did you find info about 0.01 for day?

Info from freebitcoin: "Our advertising rates have been lowered by 50% to only $0.12 per 1,000 banner impressions."

Freebitcoin - $0.12 per 1,000 views - 1 view = 734 satoshi = $0.002 * 1000 = $2

they have 2 banners so 2*$0.12 = $0.24

$2 - $0.24 = $-1.76 - and this have to be covered from to ads from AdSense.. no way!

Bitcoinzebra - i don't want comment now.. I thin that they will be down soon.. (this is only my opinion)

What you listed is manual advertising cost. Have you checked Adbit.co bids? If not, check it please. You will know how much profit is earned by Bitcoin zebra and Freebitco.in.

Adbit slots are being auctioned not sold to one site. Highest bidder will get more impression that lowest bidder. You should check an ad slot auction which you can go by clicking 'view' in the link I gave. You will understand.

 That website is a good way of understanding how much you can make per day and how much you need to spend to get good worthy clicks.

 If you can spare 1 bitcoin , you can get your website out there in a day , if you spend about 10 coins , you can be very well known website in a week.

[kotwica666]

Thank you guys! I hear about this auctions before, but forgot about that.. I'll check it better this time..

Hello, Can you tell me how to put countdown time before "Get Reward" avaible to click?
I need the script.
Thank you

[Josef27]

Thanks for the guide, I think I'll trying to create one now.

Seems CleverPuffin have some problem on checkout, I can't purchase the Build-Your-Own-Hosting.
Also about Minifaucet, is it possible to make batch payments to minimize the transaction fees?

And is there any faucet that use Google Adsense? I want to take example from them.

Which faucet script are you using?

Seems CleverPuffin have some problem on checkout, I can't purchase the Build-Your-Own-Hosting.

Yeah, it seems that CleverPuffin is going a bit down hill. I'll leave it up for now since the hosting still works, but I would suggest going for a different host.

Also about Minifaucet, is it possible to make batch payments to minimize the transaction fees?

Other faucets have done it before. If you look a few pages back I supplied some PHP code for making batch payments using Blockchain.info's api. If you can implement that with a cron job, you should be able to get that working.
If you want any other help with it, I can try to code it for you for a small price.

And is there any faucet that use Google Adsense? I want to take example from them.

A large majority of faucets use Google Adsense nowadays, http://www.freebitco.in and http://www.moonbit.co.in being two of the main ones. If you look on the Faucetbox or Paytoshi faucet list on their site a large majority will be using Adsense on their sites.
It's a risky game to play, but can be very profitable.

Altered the thread a bit, including Xapo and putting a small warning on Cleverpuffin.

I think I successfully did it..

I think I'll stay off from adsense while starting. Yeah, I didn't want to risk my account.

Also I suggest to not trusting free version of hostinger.

I ever use idhostinger (It's the Indonesian hostinger group, so I can assume they are same) to run a faucet while I testing with it. You can't generate a lot of traffic because they limits the visitor, then they'll redirected into their error cpu_exceed page.
After a month they suddenly suspended my host (I already have a lot of modified scripts there) and I can't access my file anymore and I forgot to create a backup before. They're worst in my opinion.

Don't know about the paid hosting, but the free version already make me want to stay away from them. Good things I almost give my money to them

I can't say I've ever had such a problem with the UK version of Hostinger. I have several test sites hosted using free hosting and none are suspended without notice, and the paid hosting worked well for me when I used it. I will agree with you that free hosts are bad if you are getting a large amount of traffic which is why I noted that in the OP.
