Just completed the survey. Cool

I hope my answer can help you or other faucets owner to make his faucets better. Tongue

Definitely, you are not doing this for me, but for the community.

The faucet users and faucet owners both benefit from it, so thanks in the name of the community.

I did it as well, and shared the link with others. Huge +1 for offering this up. I, despite not having a faucet (at least right now) learned a lot from it. And some of it was unexpected!

One question I think you should add (if you can edit it) is:

Q: If a faucet (has an empty wallet | is empty | has no balance), how long do you wait until you visit it again?

and another:

Q: How many visits to a faucet while it's empty does it take before you write it off altogether?

These are questions I'm personally curious about, because some of the best faucets get emptied on a daily basis. I'm wondering how much that hurts them due to lost visitors (especially since I run a rotator -- it would help better understand how long the community wants me to wait before flagging a site offline).

Well i think faucets need to have atlest 5x-6x more funds on the balance than they actually spend, just in case it gets emptied and then angry fauceters wont go there anymore.

I mean its just basic preparation, if you know you will spend 0.05 daily to finance your faucet, you should have atleast 0.2 there just in case the traffic increases massively to not lose confidence of clients.

Thanks guys for support, I`ve decided to not make a faucet after all, so sorry about that, I feel that the faucet business is not for me.

I might change my mind later, however as of now I just provide this research for free to existing faucet users to improve their faucets.

I hope existing faucet owners can learn from this and improve their services

Well its definitely a useful info for faucet owners, although the faucet industry has been going out of trend lately, hopefully this can give a helpful hand to faucet owners to optimize their faucet and attract more users!

Loose lips sink sigs!

The only thing that pays less than bitcoin faucets are doing research on bitcoin faucets.

Thanks for sharing the research results, seriously, every week there's some new person asking for us to complete a survey and the NEVER come back to share their findings with us. It's the least someone can do to repay us for our time and thoughts (that they so desperately need.)

I'll take your survey, and here's a free bump for your thread!

I have finished and submitted the survey, I hope my answers will help. Also, I will keep an eye out for your faucet too, I can't wait to try it.

I have the faucet list (based on this research) in my signature, but i`m not planning to make a faucet, atlest not in the next 2 weeks.

My faucet list already pays more then your average faucet so i dont need a faucet for now

Oh, sorry, i thought you were making your own faucet, i did not read your signature until now. Your research has helped gather a great list of faucets, some of my favorites are there. I like it, nice work!

I am considering making a faucet too, but not in the near future, no ad network is present now that could finance my faucet. I`ll guess i have to wait until more of them popup.

The faucets that earn real money (note: there are some making $10k+ a month) aren't earning from the faucet -- it's from their businesses. Faucets are not a sustainable form of income. They are used to generate traffic to your other properties/businesses (which DO generate income).

Damn its funny though, we got 0 people from mexico so far, yet if you check on Alexa.com any faucet, atleast 30% of their visitors come from Mexico.

Wtf is that... why are tens of thousands of visitors from mexico but nobody in my survey checked that lol.

I think many faucets get fake visitors, there is no other explanation.

Try out Mellow ads or Bitclix, they are both 2 new ad networks just popped up, they all pay in bitcoin. Perfect for a faucet!

Never heard of those, i`ll check them out soon, thanks for info!

I'm not very familiar with faucets; do they "do" anything besides giving you bitcoin? I assume they are advertising supported or somesuch?

I've been playing a game https://farmsatoshi.com - Farm Satoshi) the past few weeks - that is insanely fun and addictive, and satoshis are literally the game's currency. I've been reinvesting my earnings pretty aggressively so I only have ~325,000 sat at the moment. But I have the impression it pays pretty well, whether it is a faucet or not. But this is my first experience with a game tied in with bitcoin, and I'm wondering whether it constitutes being a "faucet" or not. If not, why would someone prefer a faucet over a game?

Remove that ref link bro from your post, ref links not allowed on this forum, but otherwise i totally agree with you, farmsatoshi has a really nice game based experience.

Game based faucets are very entertaining.

They are websites full of ads, in exchange for you visiting the website , and viewing (possibly clicking the ads) they give out a % of their ad revenue to their visitors.

Its basically a web traffic arbitrage, you buy cheap advertising and sell it for higher price to your peer advertiser network.

OK, that's about what I thought. So I guess Farm Satoshi is basically a faucet, underneath all the fun. It has advertising on the borders, etc., though not any worse than most news websites and so forth.

What do you think about this two faucets? ( They are not mine, I'm only user ):

http://www.bitcoin-gator.com/ - 1000 satoshi / 5 hours
vs
http://winbits.us/ - 1000 satoshi / 1 hour

Which one is better for you? Compare design, rewards etc..

I try it
for design bitcoin-gator is better than winbits
but for reward winbits.us better

perhours vs 5 hourse

for sharing and growth bitcoin-gator is better marketing than winbit he give 40% reff (400satosi) per reff claim
that make people want to share it and want to get more reff,, and more profit for user and owner

oke my choice bitcoin-gator won it

I can see referral commission on http://winbits.us too, it's 50%..
My opinion: Bitcoin-Gator has better design, but WinBits is clean. WinBits has better reward and also better referral commission.
Bitcoin-Gator is better if you are alone and WinBits is better if you have some referrals..
