What a shame for adsense to be doing this but my guess is a lot advertisers complained about the poor traffic from faucet sites and they finally had to do something about it, advertisers are the ones who make them money after all

Perhaps i did somthing wrong but adsence never made me much on my faucet anyway. Im getting less than $1 a day with over 5k visits anyway
Impossible to make 1$ if you really have 5000 unique visitors per day Smiley

honest to god that's all I was making like I said I must have been doing something wrong.

I think that a faucet is a low quality site. People visit only for a few seconds, and sometimes (in the vast majority of case) they try to visit more and more site they can in the same time. So I think that only faucet that could "keep" people for some minutes could remain profitable, faucet that give also a service and not a simple captcha to compile Wink

What do you think about http://BitcoinSpace.net ?
This is a quality website?

Hi

I will start by saying "bad morning" instead of regular "good morning"
I say this because is the 1-st morning without Adsense in the last 10 years ...

If you are a faucet/dice/game/etc owner you should check your email and if you get an email like the one below - it is the end ...

Quote
This email is to alert you that your AdSense account was found to be non-compliant with our AdSense program policies and as a result, your AdSense account has been disabled.

Current account status: Disabled

Action required: None


Violation explanation:

INCENTIVIZED TRAFFIC: As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on sites with content related to programs offering incentives to click links or ads, read emails, or surf other websites. This would include, for instance, auto-surf sites, pay-to-read email networks, and sites comparing various pay-to-click programs. More information about this policy can be found in our help center ( http://www.google.com/adsense/support/as/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105951 ).

Payment:
As your account has been permanently disabled, we will withhold payment of your account balance. As stated in the AdSense Terms and Conditions (https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms), Google reserves the right to withhold payments from publishers due to any breach of the program agreement. Please note that this step was taken in an effort to maintain the quality of the AdSense program and to protect the interests of our AdWords advertisers. The earnings on your account will be returned to the affected advertisers.

That mean your work, efforts,investments, all are gone!
Adsense disabled my account (with 875 eur balance)
The account was running ads on 14 websites (all are disabled/blocked from Adsense) and was over 6 years old.
Only 3 of them are faucets/game (bitcoinspace.net/freebitcoins, game.bitcoinspace.net, freebtc.click)
I always respect Adsense TOS (3 ads per page, fresh content, no iframes, etc)
In my opinion a faucet can not be included in these categories: "programs offering incentives to click links or ads, read emails, or surf other websites. This would include, for instance, auto-surf sites, pay-to-read email networks, and sites comparing various pay-to-click programs"

Maybe some of you will enjoy reading these lines.
My advice: do not enjoy before you check your email Smiley
It can happen to you anytime!

The big question is: can a faucet be sustained without Adsense?
What alternatives exist?
