Gridcoin gets Sitelink Extensions on Google Ads

<br>

According to the [New Marketing Initiative](https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@vortac/new-marketing-initiative-for-gridcoin), Gridcoin ads are [back on Google](https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@vortac/gridcoin-is-back-on-google-ads) since 01 DEC 2018. Few days ago, I introduced an important addition to them - [Sitelink Extensions](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2375416).

Advertisements displayed on Google are text-only, so they look a bit dull according to today's standards. But Google offers various ways of enhancing them through so called extensions, making them more relevant and noticeable. Four Gridcoin sitelink extensions have been created so far: **Gridcoin Pool, Newsletter, Faucet and Block Explorer:**

*Our Google ad with sitelink extensions to https://uscore.net (Newsletter) and https://gridcoin.ch (Faucet)*

*Same ad but showing extensions to https://www.grcpool.com (Gridcoin Pool) and https://gridcoinstats.eu (Block Explorer). Only two extensions (with descriptions) can be shown at the same time, so you'll get random two in your browser.*

*You can also get a short version, without descriptions. All four extensions are displayed then.*

Of course, Gridcoin ecosystem is far larger than that. Besides grcpool.com, we also have [Arikado Pool](https://grc.arikado.ru) and if you don't like Gridcoinstats Block Explorer, there are three others:  [Gridcoin.Network](https://gridcoin.network), [NeuralMiner.io](https://grcexplorer.neuralminer.io) and [Nuad.de](https://www.nuad.de). Gridcoinstats also has a [Faucet](https://gridcoinstats.eu/faucet.php), but it's currently under maintenance.

My intention is to create sitelinks to all of them, so that every website in the Gridcoin ecosystem gets some part of this traffic driven by Google Ads.

<br>

So, which sitelink has received most clicks so far (since 02 JAN)? Current stats are here:

<center>![Stats2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaUXLSdbq8vSJ81megCMyiFfrhKn8bcdGic3eEpBtcWen/Stats2.png)</center>

According to Google, Faucet sitelink is generating the least traffic. But that's probably because 0.5 GRC sounds a bit underwhelming in description. To improve that, I have decided to donate 4000 GRC to the [Gridcoin.ch faucet](https://gridcoin.ch/faucet) right now and I urge you to donate some too. With enough funds, average payout can be increased to 1 GRC (or more), making it more attractive. 

GRC donations sent to this address **SF83agM4ERg1WaJvKNbJYrWRHVvUM3xkZz** will go directly to the faucet.

Thanks for the update and the donation to the faucet!
I'd love to make higher payouts but at the moment I can't as the faucets runs already dry now...It runs mostly from my steemit earnings and once a while I or other community members make a donation =)

@dr-frankenstein · 
I was thinking about a different approach that might be more sustainable. Distributing 50k is really a great thing, but it's unsustainable. Do you think that it would be a good idea if we use that 50K for example for solo mining and use the potential gain to fill up the different trusted faucets of the community instead?

@hotbit · 
It is an interesting idea, but 50k staking would yield only around 120 GRC  per month...

Great work @vortac. That's a good donation to the faucet, sweet :)

The faucet on Gridoinstats will hopefully be back on the new version of the page. It's been in maintenance ever since the issue of cheating was discovered.
