How is WP supposed to help you get visitors? What are you planning to use it for? I know of a couple faucets that bring in $25k+ a month in profit, but that's because they aren't just using the faucet -- you have to use that as a generator for traffic for other parts of your site. Faucets themselves are going to lose money.

As you said, faucets themselves lose money, and if I use WordPress I can expand instead of just keeping the site as a faucet.

In my opinion a lot of it depends on your coding skills. Just a nice Idea or even worse a bad clone of an old Idea won`t help you on your Way up to the passive Income everyone dreams of. But I will keep an eye on this progress cause it is interesting. Let us know when your Faucet gets online.

Cheers for your input mate, should be up in a week or so, I'll post up when its complete.
It is possible. You need to create a faucetbox folder in the root directory of wordpress (the same height as /includes folder exists). Then you need to create a template file (1) and put it into the folder of your theme. Put the code of the index.php file of faucetbox  into that template and delete index.php from faucetbox. Then you need to include the faucetbox folder link into the template file (at the start of the file). Use the WP routing (2). Finally, you need to create a page into Wordpress admin panel and use the template file as base template.

Thanks for that mate I'll check that out, the iframe technique does work well, also keeps it in a scrollable box which looks nice on mobiles, if your way works better though I shall be using it!
