Is 1000+ users a good measure of success? I'm honestly curious since I have little to no clue about how much traffic or how many users faucets usually have?
more users = more unique ad views = higher income.. still better than 3-4 users non stop claiming (and most of ad networks pays for unique views) . Also popunderswith 1000+ popups / 30 mins can give you great funds for your faucet.
You can check number of users in faucethub - top faucets, there is column for that..
