Guide for prospective Faucet Owners
Introduction
Advertising on a faucet is pretty much guaranteed. How else is a faucet owner supposed to supply a steady stream of claim amounts to the users it supplies to?
Finding a happy medium of advertising is not a particularly easy task, especially when you are first starting out. There is so much to think about like the numerous different ad formats, what you will use, where they will be placed, right through to how you will receive payments.
This guide is aimed at hopefully steering you in the right direction so that you may profit with minimal worries.
There may be a bit of time involved when you first start out setting up and implementing all these various revenue streams, but rest assured, it will only seem hard to do the first time, and with this guide, you should be able to decrease any negativity to the task.
Let’s get into it by starting with defining into general classifications, the different types of advertising.
First though, when setting up any of the following sites, please consider using the actual link we provide, or consider making a donation to us. Either way, you are helping us immensely, and as a forward thought: Thank You.
Direct Advertising:
This is probably best seen as the advertising you wholly relate to. Do you have any special sites you use that offer rewards for promoting them? Do you want to promote to earn?
How about we give you something to start with? We only give out legit trusted sites, after extensive testing, and payments received.
Allow us to list here for you. after signup, you will be able to link to the sites via your own special links to encourage users to start earning with you!
We will even show you where to grab the promotional material from, and how to incorporate it into your own site. Easy as anything.
Click the banners to sign up.
SerpClix:
After you have signed up and logged in you will be able to access your promotional items from the My Referrals navigation. You are given a link to copy, and also promotional material. For us it is a 468×60 banner. We copied our link, and also copied the link for the banner.
Then we built a banner link from the basic image as link html code.
This is:
<div align="center"><a href="https://serpclix.com/users/referrals/R2VIQCFRLQKL1BKV0SFVPE7B5"><img src="https://serpclix.com/static/core/img/468-clicker.gif" alt="Serpclix Banner" style="width:468px;height:60px;"></a></div>The <div sets the alignment content on the page to be centred,
The <a href gives the link to navigate to,
The <img src is where the file is hosted,
and with the remaining items it provides an alternate text, and style is some inline css to provide image dimensions.
<div align="center">
<a href="{Link Destination}"><img src="{image location}" alt="{alternative text to display}" style="width:{horizontal}px;height:{vertical}px;"></a>
</div>FreeBitcoin:
Here is another site for you. It is an hourly bitcoin faucet, but there are also a number of other ways to earn and win! They pay via direct BTC wallet address once you have earned over a certain threshold.
Once you are logged in, you can head to the Refer navigation to access your own promotional materials.
AdaMatic:
Pipeflare:
PublishOx:
The steps to take are very similar for all of these sites.
Now you are ready to implement this code into your website- whether by direct file editing, or via your faucet Admin Template tab.
If you want a handy quick reference guide for the common webcodes, navigate over to W3Schools. It has almost everything you need.
Indirect Advertising:
This is a very broad category, but it is essentially anything that you are happy to run as your revenue streams. you will likely need to filter advertising that you deem acceptable, but when properly set up, can allow for a substantial portion of your earnings.
The trade offs really begin when you are considering running advertisements that are shady in nature, like pornography or those annoying flash update advertisements. everybody knows now that flash has been discontinued, so it is mostly likely that it just wants to install malware of some sort. Sites owners lose users real quick with that sort of garbage running rampant on pages.
We are providing a small number of sites to get you up and running, but the final choices remain wholly with you.
A-Ads:
Other options:
Propeller Ads
Ads Keeper
Ad Hitz
Google Ads
Do not try to run all of the networks at once as your page speeds will decrease in speed significantly.
Traffic Exchanges:
Although this category is not directly responsible for revenue generation, these types of services are beneficial for the fact that they provide initial eyes on your project. This does a number of things such as kickstart your advertising revenue, and also can assist in getting more users to your site or promotions via referrals.
These generally work on a credits system, where for each view you give for viewing someone elses site, promotion or otherwise, you will receive a credit or view of your site or otherwise.
They can effectively work very well together when set up properly.
We will provide a small demonstration.
First, sign up to these 3 sites:
Easy Hits 4 U
Traffic Ad Bar
Rotate4All
We will use our faucet link for the purposes of showing you how to do it.
First we will use our Traffic AdBar account to make a special link of our faucet link. This is done via the Websites Navigation.
Fill out the extra details and Save.
Once saved, navigate back to the Dashboard and scroll down down until you get to the Hits per website details. Copy the link shown for your added site. Note that we didn’t copy the http portion. This is an unsecure protocol anyway, and not something we recommend specifying by default.
Add the link into your text file if necessary.
Login to Easy Hits 4 U and click on the Websites navigation to add the new link. If you haven’t already added a website, this process will enable you the ability to earn hits to your particular page or site via surfing or doing offers. 1 credit is 1 hit on your page. Ideally, you would want to work up to thousands of credits, and alter your view amounts to over 1000 views per day.
For the particular settings we chose as shown below, we assigned 100 credits to the link, and via the advanced settings we chose to make it daily unique traffic, shown up to 100 times per day, every day of the week.
For this to work exactly as intended, we would need 700 credits assigned to the website every week.
This means that at least 100 hit credits need to be earned every day to work.
This can always be done by completing offers for credits, and surfing the 1:1. There is always the potential to win extra random credits whilst surfing or leveling up too!
Of course, if you simply do not have the time, then you can always purchase credits or upgrade your membership.
Once you click Submit website, there will be a countdown timer to make sure the page loads correctly, and if everything works properly you will be able to Confirm the page by clicking the button.
As necessary, you will be able to assign any available credits you have to the page and click the Assign button. Try to keep enough credits assigned so that there are no interruptions to your page views.
What did we just do here?
Using the 2 traffic exchanges, we made it so that when users are viewing your site on Easy Hits 4 U, your Traffic Ad Bar account will get credited with points also. The more points you can earn on TAB, the more chance of your site also being shown there too.
We can focus our credit earning on EH4U, but it is always a good idea to earn some extra hits on TAB too – it could be a different user who sees your page, and so has a better chance of bringing you some revenue via your advertisements!
This can be done via the daily email links, and the Click here to earn points button.
Crypto Earning:
This self explanatory section is how you earn actual crypto to help fund your faucet, crypto wallet, and essentially your lifestyle too. You visit another faucet site, make a claim, and receive your earnings. Using the services of a microwallet site such as FaucetPay helps keep transaction fees down, whilst being able to see in real time your balances for various cryptocurrencies.
Currently, FaucetPay supports the following cryptocurrencies:-
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Digibyte, Tron, Tether TRC20, Feyorra, ZCash, Binance Coin, and Solana.
There is also the option to convert between each of these cryptos from within FaucetPay using the Coin Swap feature, which is accessible via the Dashboard.
It is important to note, that not every faucet or claim site will use a microwallet to send payments too. In these cases there is usually a minimum amount necessary to be reached, and then you are able to withdraw directly to a wallet you hold the keys for. Remember that with sites like FaucetPay, the trade off is that you do not actually possess the keys linked to your username. Always only keep in the account what you need for operational purposes, and withdraw the excess out to your actual crypto wallet.
Here is a few sites to get you started. Most pay to FaucetPay, but there is also a small number of sites that pay direct to wallet. In each instance, it is mentioned where they pay to.
These are all links that open in a new tab.
Sign up to, and start claiming from these sites.
Claim Free BTC – FaucetPay
Claim Free LTC – FaucetPay
Claim Free ZEC – FaucetPay
Claim Free USDT – FaucetPay
Free LTC Auto – FaucetPay
Free DASH Auto – FaucetPay
Free Hourly BTC – Direct
Free ADA every 120mins – Direct

Shortlink Services:
Link Shortening is another way to earn. Some require a PayPal account to pay into, some are able to pay into FaucetPay, and minimum amounts almost always apply. Whilst it can be fun to earn a little extra by shortening and sending links to friends and family, the real power comes from the ability to link the service to your faucet, via a developer API. You won’t need to copy and paste links, it is all done behind the scenes for you.
We are just going to take a quick moment to expand on this a little by mentioning something we are seeing more and more when claiming. We see it as a big no no, as it is frustrating and disheartening to see.
We are referring to the unscrupulous practice of shortening a shortlink. Essentially the practice involves setting up a shortlink with one service, and then using that link in another shortlink service.
It is a disgusting practice. It’s that simple.
Here are some shortlink services you might like to sign up to. It is always a good idea to examine what the minimum payouts are, and also your options on where to receive payments to. We like services that pay to FaucetPay, and their amounts are usually low.
Check out these Shortlink Services:
Exe io
Tmearn
Shorti io
Pe Short
With all of the above services, your Developer API Token can be gotten from the Tools Navigation. You simply need to copy the key into the appropriate section in the Faucet in a Box admin panel-> Short Links for each provider, set a priority and limit, and enable the provider.
Remember to save your changes. The save button is located at the very bottom of the Short Links page.
Mining:
We decided to include this section, because it not only wholly relates to a revenue stream for prospective faucet owners, but also as an earning stream for general users.
Whilst not everybody has the ability to mine for cryptocurrency due to various factors such as inadequate hardware, high electricity costs, or any number of other things, if you can do it, then you should do it.
Not only are you bringing a revenue stream for yourself, but you are also contributing to the decentralisation of cryptocurrency.
If you have a decent dedicated GPU (not onboard type), then you are more than likely able to mine crypto. Your choices may be limited, but do some research to find the best option.
If you want some more information on mining, not just our part in it, but also in general, then please check out Our 2023 Crypto Earning Guide!
How To Set Up Your Revenue Streams:
As we previously glossed over above, you will usually need more than a single stream to be successful in earning crypto.
Sure, it is a fairly simple process to just go and buy some, but we have chosen to stick by our no investment* path. All crypto we have, now and in the future, will not be purchased by us by means of fiat currency.
So how do we set all of this up to start earning as early as possible?
It all starts with a plan of what you want to do.
For us, it was a decision to first set up our faucet to be operational, and then extend the purpose of the advertising partners we have for Our Blog.
As we already have accounts with providers already, we cannot go and show you how to create the accounts.
We can however, inform you of the few vital steps you must do to ensure you get paid.
Note that this all assumes that you already have an account at FaucetPay, but if not, then please click HERE to get one.
You do also need a crypto wallet, with at least Bitcoin BTC listed in it. An exceptional multi coin wallet that we do recommend, is Exodus. This works with Android, iOS, and computer platforms. With over 260 assets supported, you are likely to find it will have what you need.
Get Exodus for your platform from HERE.
Let’s get stuck into it now. For all that we mention below, we will also provide some quick reference instructions for you so that you can easily implement it.
We use A-Ads as our main advertising platform. We use it due to the simple integration formats, and also for the fact that they pay right down to 0.00000001 BTC – yes, a single satoshi, over to FaucetPay.
Yes, we sadly do only earn a single satoshi sometimes..
If you haven’t yet done so already, go and create an account over at A-Ads. Then go and update your BTC payment info to pay you at FaucetPay, and put in your FaucetPay linked BTC address. As an account protection measure, you do need to do the confirmation processes when altering these details.
Refer to the following images if you are unsure where to find the items to alter.
Now we have to decide, if it hasn’t been already, what format(s) of advertisements to run. There are numerous options to choose from, but the most common ones are horizontal banners-728×90, 468×60, vertical banners-160×600, 120×600, and the rectangular 300×250 or 250×250 types.
You do not have to run all of these styles, though it does make for a wide selection of varying advertisements.
Also to consider, is where they will be placed on the site or page.
For this example, we are going to set up for a 468×60 banner.
First, create an ad unit. This is done through the Earn navigation. Follow the images below if unsure.
Ensure Site is selected, choose the 468×60 option, and enter the exact url where it will be found. Note that it can also be used on other pages too.
Change any content filters, and if unsure what they mean and how they will affect your revenue, change the checkbox selections and hover over the individual question mark help prompts.
Once you are satisfied, complete the captcha and click on Create ad unit.
The resulting shown code is what you must use to implement the ad space on your site.
We suggest copying each ad code into a text file so it can be easily referred to when putting these codes across your website. It is as simple as
copy text->paste text.
Make sure you copy the entire code, it finishes with a closing < /iframe >
When you are finished making any wanted ad spaces you can proceed to the next step.
Login to your faucet admin panel and proceed to the Templates tab.
If you do not yet have a faucet set up and operational, please click here (link to faucet setup) before proceeding.
If you only want to know how to incorporate the adcodes into your website, here is a basic html code for you to refer to.
This will create a basic page with a heading and an adcode:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Jays n Dees Advertising Example</title>
<meta name="description" content="A simple Ad page">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Advertising Example</h1>
<div align=“center”>
<iframe data-aa='2154123' src='//ad.a-ads.com/2154123?size=468x60' style='width:468px; height:60px; border:0px; padding:0; overflow:hidden; background-color: transparent;'></iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>Scroll to the bottom where you can input your ad codes, and paste them in.
We placed our demonstration code into the Top box section.
Save your changes when you are done.
If you are setting up your faucet and haven’t yet done it, now is a good time to implement your developer API keys into the appropriate section. This of course only applies if you are choosing to use short links to assist with revenue. If you are not using short links, then simply skip this section. Go and copy your Developer API Keys from your shortlink services. You may have them in a text file already. If you do not have any providers yet, please consider any of the following:
Exe io
Tmearn
Shorti io
Pe Short
These need to be put in to the relevant sections located in the Short Links tab. If you cannot quickly find your service, run a quick search for it using Edit->Find. If that fails to yield results then it might not be supported.
You will need to set the shortlink reward bonus, if it is required to claim, how many times you want to show it to a specific user during a 24hr period, and set a priority number for it.
Scroll right down to the very end of the page, and save your changes.
Log out and exit your faucet admin page.
This guide should get you up and operating your faucet. Although many details were left out, like all webhost informations, advanced file setups, and pieces like that, they are not in the scope of this particular guide.
Happy Fauceting!
