Topic: Why I'm Not Getting Much Traffic In My Faucet? Please Help & Suggest. (Read 657 times)

I know that some users getting this kind of problem.
I am trying to fix this problem. I am looking for webmaster to solve the issue.

We are very much sorry.

When I try to use your faucet, after I click 'hunt' it says

"The bitshunt.club page isn’t working

bitshunt.club is currently unable to handle this request."

and it goes back to the front page.

In this world everything is limited by its capacity.
Today is the 37th day of my faucet after launch, still paying without any revenue. But how long?

By creating this thread, my intention is to find out the exact problem I may have.

If you go to faucetbox list, then you will see other faucets payout amount and their alexa rank. 
That is totally weird, if you compare with my faucet and my alexa rank.

At the time of writing this post my faucet position there is 698, while the "new tagged" faucets are at the top. 

As mentioned in my previous posts, that something is blocking users to access my faucet.
And for this reason my alexa rank is very poor. And for this reason I can't apply to good ad networks.

I just don't want to hear later that BitsHunt Admin was not good or he is not honest.
I will prefer to die first before hearing that I am not honest.

Are you Joking he's already offering 5000 every five minute and you asking to increase it more and more.. there is not any faucet which pay that much reward..
even I think OP should lower the reward or increase the timing if he want that his faucet stay alive., with this much reward and without any revenue system you can't even run your faucet for more then few months,.

Dear Cyaren,
Thank you very much for your kind suggestion.
I think up to 5000 reward is very lucrative amount for every 5 minute. Moreover I'm offering 50% ref. comm.

Also offering Lottery and Lucky hour.
At Lucky Hours rewards get increased by 2x 3x 4x 5x and so on. It is totally random and the figures are picked by random picker.

I have changed / adjusted so many times from the beginning.

But I will keep your suggestion in my mind for future.

The main thing is, if I get sufficient revenue then it won't be a problem to increase rewards accordingly.
As stated in my previous post that I will pay upto 90% revenue to our users. I AM NOT GREEDY.

There are simply way too many faucets out there and there are way less faucet users than there used to be a few years ago when bitcoin was still in its developmental stage. Customers are of short supply.

I suggest you increase your reward as much as possible - because people go for the reward, not for your site.

You read it right!
Since launch on 26th april to till now bitshunt.club is paying without any problem.
I offered high figures, because I will pay up to 90% of the revenue I get from the advertisement.

And it is "claim up to 5000 reward every 5 min" not "5000 reward every 5 min" I might get bankruptcy.... 

I'm paying from my own pocket till now, as there is no such revenue to pay our users.
It's due to the poor alexa ranking, because I am unable to join good ad networks.

Something is blocking users to access bitshunt, but I'm not sure of the reason.

I have applied at Ifaucet.net, but it is over a month my faucet is in queue for validation. I also Pmed them but no response.
Landofbitcoin added.

As mentioned in my previous post.
"I am just thinking that those 4/5 people has contacted me to let me know that they can't access the site.
It could also be possible that so many people can't access the site, but they didn't contacted with me. Just wondering."

Those 4/5 people getting "http error 500 (internal server error)"

5000 reward every 5 minute with 50% referral link? this is the highest paying faucet (If it is really paying, I don't believe it) your reward is very good. but you don't getting alexa ranking and proper views.. the problem is not in the domain and hosting.. you need to advertise your site properly..

Add your site to Ifaucet.net, landofbitcoin.com and other major faucet lists.

From the beginning till now I have experimented different ways.
At the beginning I was offering 100% ref. comm.

I have chosen 5 minute to prevent TOR users. I decided it because I thought it right.

But once I changed the timer to 1 hour to check and in that hour I got bot attack and my balance was almost nil.
Every second and minute I was seeing my balance was reducing, while I checked my google analytics in real time there was not that much users.

And when I again changed the timer to 5 minute, I have never seen any bot attack.
Once I watched a video how the users use TOR to bypass time limit, and I saw that they need at least 1-2 minute to setup and claim reward.
So no one will do so much thing to Bypass remaining 3 minutes, instead they will tell themselves "waiting is better".

You have 50% referral commision in your faucet with lower claiming time which is really a bad practice so you beter increase time between claim and decrease that referral commision. After this you may see decrease in traffic but profit will be same as most of the traffic will be genuine traffic not bots or proxy traffics.

Maybe you have targeted one of the major problem. I'm not sure because I'm not expert.

Few days ago faucetbox released their new version and I updated accordingly.
After that I created thread for help, you can find it here > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14812233

Only one guys suggested me to choose the option as cloudflare and I did it, but later faucetbox changed the setting to default saying that my cloudflare setting is not correct.

When I signed up with cloudflare, I didn't done much except to add my site and change the dns as settings.
Because I don't know more than this.

Can you suggest me to setup cloudflare, the way it should be?

B. regards

Maybe it has something to do with your cloudflare settings?

But I'm just wondering about the configuration and the Ips which I have blocked via .htaccess.

So far I got some complain that they can't access the faucet.
I am just thinking that those 4/5 people has contacted me to let me know that they can't access the site.
It could also be possible that so many people can't access the site, but they didn't contacted with me. Just wondering.

Just don't know whom to contact to clear my doubts.

It's a pain, when I see other newer faucets getting good rank than my old faucet.
Moreover, due to bad alexa rank I can't apply for any good ad networks. And this causing me huge lose.

There You Go. some suggestions from me.

1: Create an announcement thread in Micro Earning section and Update it constantly:
Micro earning link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0

2: Stay Active in Micro Earning Section and try to get in touch with other faucet onwers. ask them to add your faucet in their faucet, and give them a backlink as well,

3: Request Faucet list owners to list your site manually. (if you are really paying 5000 satoshi every 5 minutes then faucet owner should add your list own the top) you can get lots of faucet list in Micro Earning section.

4: Search google this keyword: Bitcoin blogs.. google will show you so many bitcoin related sites blogs. you just need to write comments on these blogs articles and include your faucet link (but don't spam)

5: Buy Premium domain for your faucet, You didn't mentioned your faucet link in OP. if you have free domain like .tk .pl or whatever then buy a premium domain first.

6: Add some extra content on your faucet. For example: "What is bitcoin" "what is halving" "how to buy/sell" and "how to mine"

7: Last but the Best suggestion. do SEO of your faucet, just like we do SEO for other sites. submit your faucet in major search engine, and post your faucet link on bitcoin related facebook groups regularly..


let me know if you found these suggestions useful.
Good Luck.

Hello Friends,
My faucet has been launched over a month ago on 26th april. But my alexa ranking is still over 1m.

But today I have checked faucetbox list,
and I saw that all other faucets have good ranking while they are newer than my faucet.

I am just wondering what could be the reason behind it? 

I'm also offering good amount of satoshis if compared to other faucets (many faucets) according to faucetbox list.

Summary:
Claim Up To 5000 Satoshis Every 5 Minutes!
Lucky Hour
Lottery
50% Referral Commission

But still my traffic is low.... 

I have blocked over 10000 Ips via .htaccess and some via the admin panel.
And I also blocked over 350 wallet address which I also found at below mentioned links.

Is these are the reasons behind it?

Links where I found the Ips and followed and also implemented the proxy prevention code.
