I just started a proxy yesterday and submitted to around 12 topsites. But got traffic from only few of them.. How many topsites have you submitted to??
Have you tried newsletters. In topsites your proxy can ofter be lost and results can vary, they are great for getting started but to keep that rate of success up you need to try maybe a news letter. We have proxy newsletters that go out everday to over 15,500 members. Check my signature and visit www.proxysites.ca
My business partner and I are looking to put a forum on our proxy, mainly for FAQs, but it would also allow members to better understand the basics of secure browsing.
I use proxy newsletters to get traffic to my proxies for the most part. I run my own proxy group and i also buy anouncements on other poxy groups and news letters. I tried using topsites for my first proxy but I didn't like the idea of having to fill it with the backlinks for all the topsites so I gave up using the topsites.
