I previously used Google Adsense for a crypto coin blog. After a week Google banned my account because such topics are not allowed according the TOS. So, I guess faucets are not allowed either. Report them and they will likely be banned too.

i think it is only a matter of time that google bans every website that is or looks like a faucet and don't give them ads anymore.

besides what they are doing is most probably considered fraud.

But it is fun to run one. I love it when I'm testing on some codes and stuff, when it successful it would give me joy feelings or something, while giving something to others.
Also there's a lot alternative services other than google adsense like bitmedia, who almost work like adsense and already built for bitcoiners, so there is still another options for adveristing.

I had couple of years experience with web projects and adsense and if you are running some more technical oriented site (ie: blog about linux), majority (lets say 80%) using adblock by default and everywhere.

even if they don't use adblock, they had some kind of "add blindness" and there is very low possibility, that they will click on add. I had ~5k visits daily and my income from adsense for around 2-5$ per day. because you are paid for click and not for view and google is also reducing clicks by they internal mechanism all time and once again before end of month..I'm not sure if some faucets can profit in long term from any add service...but I don't think so..

yeah, it is highly risk stuff with adsense.) I'm not sure how it works now, but when I was active webmaster of several pages, lot of guys used adblock, google banned users on daily basis without explanation (just something like TOS violation wtf) and those bans are for lifetime.

from this perspective and effort, which you must but in (faucet script, webhosting, propagation, CPM, CTR...)...well not sure if it is even worth to run it.

Even you didn't ask visitor to click google ads on faucet, but putting the google ads are prohibited by them I think.

I ever applied once on my faucet and get rejected after that with "lack of contents" as the reason. Putting "what is bitcoin" and few pages and it still not qualified as one.

So, they just waiting to get blocked from adsense.

Goolge only bothers to research if they actually had a decent amount of revenue worth looking up or just by chance.
It's small change for them and faucets are tiny by nature

Most faucets that are using adsense are like "hit and go" projects. It's just a matter of time google finds them, especially when payday arrives... And the ban is the worst thing you can get especially when google ads are your only source of income.

P.S. I didn't know that messages "please disable AdBlock" is violation of ToS. Is that correct??? If so, EVERY FAUCET does it, so everyone must get banned.

nope, is ok to notify users that they are blocking ads and ask them to disable it for the site..but is not ok to ask them to click on add..

Many administrators faucets explicitly urge to click on the Adsense ads. These faucets are still working.
Adsense does not send them for it in the ban? They receive payment? How is this possible?

ah no worries, google will find them and ban them, maybe for lifetime..just matter of time.

Try reporting them to google, and see how much more they would last, especially if you screenshot the requirement for users that urges them to click on ads.
They are getting away and still are operating because noone made a complaint yet, so you can have the honor and do a world a favor.
I still dont get why people waste time with faucets, theyre nothing more than a lifedrain, unless you make a bot for them.

cheers

I'm not a snitch that would send reports. Let them earn.
Perhaps it is time to create your faucet. And earn Adsense.

The Bad Guy,
I do not mean to disable Adblock.
sample: "CLICK ADS! Hello!!! Make sure to always click ads!"



Oh well , then this is illegal and not allowed by the rules of Adsense , you can see here : https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/48182?hl=en
Quote

"In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:
--
Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language.
--

I guess they are simply lucky then , most of the time people report them so they get banned and on this case they didn't because they use faucets Grin so they earn (both of the parties)

I know that the most famous Bitcoin faucet which is freebitco.in as far as I know use Google Adsense but I don't see why it won't last , they are placing ads like everyone else , not sure if asking peopleto disable Adblock is illegal tho . for the others ... most of them use something else like Adbit.co and other Advertising networks that use Bitcoin so they basically don't care

Are you sure they are using adsense? I thought adsense only allowed you to have 3-4 ads per page and usually most faucets that ive seen have 10, literally. So maybe thats why they are not banned
