which script do you use? depending on the way your faucet makes those shortlinks it might make a shortlink for every user, regardless of if they click it. in cases like this you will have lots of links on your dashboard but hardly any clicks. (lots of people simply look at the faucet and dont claim). shorteners still wont count 100% views of it, but i think most will count about 70% and up. the best solution is to calculate that into your math so that you can stay in profit even when 100% arent counted.

i'm doing a bit of an experiment right now where i closely monitor my shortlinks and document everything here: https://randomsatoshi.win/Guides/Shortlinks.php
you can take a look at the info i gather and which ones i use (i give lots of personal data along like how many views i sent).
QUICK EDIT: i only started this project 2 days ago, so alot of data is still missing ;P but it might be nice to look at once a while ;P


where are you more active? BT or FH? i'm fine with either ;P
