This depends on the number of clicks. The important thing to understand with faucets is that they are seen as being a content-less site. Many faucets have been banned from AdSense. And even if you aren't, you can be banned when it's time to be paid. So generally speaking, I'd suggest relying on other ad networks.

You can definitely make some money from them with marketing and such, as long as you're getting ad clicks.

I wouldn't rely on them being super profitable, though, and look more for either a slight profit or a break-even. They are just too risky.

As a heads-up, though, if you start one up (or anyone else), feel free to toss me a PM and I can add it to the rotation.

if I cant make any money with same traffic like freebitco.in it doesnt make sense to open a faucet IMO so I cant add my faucet that I will not do to your rotator

thanks

A site like freebitco.in is a bit different from most faucets (read: more profitable) because it has a game attached to it. This reduces the amount they pay out.

But again, it all depends on the clicks. If you designed a faucet that was really user friendly, as opposed to what we currently deal with which is just a page filled with ads, you'd have a greater chance of success. It's a business. Most faucet owners just don't know what they're doing.

if it depends on the clicks I dont see big chances for faucets to get clicks. and even they get clicks they arent worth a penny for the advertisers IMO. I could tell my visitors to click any ad they like before they get any satoshis, but this is not allowed.

I fully agree with you saying that most faucet owners just dont know what they are doing. I am a noob regarding faucets and coding but I have an idea and I know I will get tons of visitors but ifI cant earn a bit it doesnt make sense to create the faucet. I dont want to get rich with it, I just want to proof that my idea is working

you answers are very helpful and very much appreciated.

If you have an idea and it's unique, roll with it. Most business owners fail 90%+ of the time even when they have "the next biggest thing," so failure shouldn't be seen as an issue. Go for it. If it works it works. If it doesn't it doesn't. It's better to try and fail than to not try at all and never know what could have been,
