The key is affiliate ads ; all other advertising pays just for high claims.
Quite nice earning, can you share with us which affiliate ads you have tried.
Its all about marketing. Ask yourself this, why do people go to faucets? Answer: For free Bitcoin ! So in their head they are already searching for free money.
There are plenty of sites that offer free money just for signing up or a % of sales. You must make click bate !!! Here is one site that will pay you 10$ for signup in canada for an acccount http://www.mobrabus.com this is just an example. See instead of trying to get bitcoins you should be looking for dollars!! Faucets are nothing but a tool for advertising what you're really trying to sell. Adsense and the rest of those you put on your faucet pay you because they have already figured out how to make money and they are paying for your traffic. Try using custom ads and sell for yourself or affiliate ads. It is good to keep some advertise that pay for cpm and cpc just to help pay for the faucet claims.....DROPS THE MIC.....
Is it good idea to put affiliate ads ? I think there would be no sell and therefore no commission ?
