Hi. Tried your BTC faucet.
Looks OK for a standard faucetinabox template.
Reward (as always) could be a little higher. 100 for 20min is kinda cheap.
What is more important that orange faucet of yours is not working properly.
After providing address, solving captcha and clicking claim button the site
refreshes and stays blank. No payment send to faucetbox.
You may have some serious bug to work around here.
Good luck.  

In case: I'm with FF45.02 32Bit LinuxOS

Thanks for your testing, it's much appreciated!

The orange faucet? As in, the BTC one? I just tested it and it seemed to work fine, and sent the satoshi to faucetbox for me. Could you be more specific?

As far as payout, as many know, Adsense is pretty much the highest paying ad network. I already use adsense on other projects, but I was afraid I would be banned and risk those other revenue streams (even though they're not even that significant). As I've been reading, Adsense has banned a number of popular faucets because of one of their policies on "click to be paid" sites, or whatever language they use in their TOS. If I can figure out how to get around that, and also incorporate another ad network like MellowAds, I could EASILY give 250 satoshi every 20 mins, if not more. As it is right now, with all the bots and whatnot, I'm losing quite a bit of money, but even at a-ads payout, I would only get about a 20% return on 1000 visitors as it is. So really, I suppose it's all a work in progress. Smiley
Yes, I was talking about this one  http://cryptos4all.com/btc
Tested now and is still the same. Blank page after claim.

As to your advert question, I think it is better not to incorporate adsense to your faucets.
No doubt it will be banned, sooner or later.
Nice thread about adsense alternatives here


This is kind of perpexing me... I used both my PC's, and multiple smartphones on both wifi and LTE to see if there was some kind of network issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I do have one theory, though. I believe when I moved btc.cryptos4all.com to the current cryptos4all.com/btc, I don't think I used a new SQL database... I did clean install all the other directories, though. I think I may try to clean install with a new database and see if it helps at all.

Also, thanks for the heads up on monetization. To be honest, when it comes to the "no approval/invite" ad networks, I started with a-ads, which is on my site across the board. I was going to mix it up with Blockadz in order to get more impression revenue because a-ads keep showing like 80% BitKong ads, but the blockadz code didn't integrate cleanly with the a-ads. It was all mis-aligned and out of place, and I couldn't figure out how to keep them aligned like using all a-ads. So I just left the one blockadz referral on the side and called it good... But of course this hasn't been ideal. I also tried CoinUrl and got banned immediately, I also didn't get approved for bitmedia.io, and that's kind of been the gist of it all up until this point. I think faucet-only sites are against their TOS's, so I may have to add more content and stuff to get approved. I think.. :/
