Please review my proxy site:- http://droplink.net Here is the latest statistical information from the past 3 months. I have changed the layout just once from the default one. Please let me know your views. Thanks!
To be really, really honest. - this template use thousands of proxy sites owers - too much ads (people won't like your site this will get you almost no returning visitors) I like your domain name. Just get a new template and two or max three ads and promote it, that's the key. That's what i see!
yes, it is a good domain . The box should be in the header top section rather than in the middle bottom .
I suppose the main revenue from the proxies are the adverts. That doesnt slow down the website in much way though i suppose. The browsing is much smooth and adv free. Thank you though. I havnt got a clue why that happened, anything that you wanna add into this problem which would help me solve it? It is back on proper for now. Just untick the option after you are on the browse page and just hit go once again. It should be fine. You mean the proxy box where people put the links in to browse? I have kept it purposefully after the google custom search so that people use the search aswell but in exchange have a background colour which makes it stand out. Anything more from anyone?
Here is a little update to my site information:- March Traffic so far:- Monthly traffic from January:- Visit Durations:- A few adverts have been removed for better performance. Please bring forward your reviews
having a proxy is always a dilema if you wanna make money, the more visitors you get the more money you make (obviously) but the more visitors you get the more places block you proxy and the more useless your proxy becomes...giving you fewer visitors....it is a fine line...so far no one (in my opinion) has got right as it has been said the layout is a bit generic and it is a bit cluttered with ads, its hard to make a proxy unique as their are millions out their but your best bet is to go with a simple style with few ads to give maximum loading times
I do get the idea of having less visitors, but increasing the traffic gets me better views on my ads. I have done my best to keep the word "proxy" off the site. Even in the Meta words and keywords, i havnt mentioned proxy so that people dont get to my site doing the search as i know the schools and colleges block the sites with that word. I suppose the style is quite simple and easy to customize on my side, so i would preferably go for it and as i have few spots reserved for a few users, it helps me generate more revenue through them rather than from google ads
yh i understand that the aim of the site is to make money, sounds like you have done the best you can to avoid the inevitable blocking so good luck to you and hopefully with a new look you will be on to a winner
I do appriciate your comments. Any help regarding your point of view on a new look will be much helpful. Thank you for the review.
free proxytemplates. co m this site has some nice simple layouts which may work well, you may want to take a look and see which one would suit you personal taste best and which one would run fastest....as although looks play an important part in attracting a user, if the page takes ages to load they will lose interest fast
I am looking for the users choice rather than mine, So the best they like is what will bring me profit. If you have any recommendations, I'll be happy to consider them. A template matters only if it has lots of images. I will only go with a template which has less images and more of CSS as it makes the site response faster. I even have caching enabled to make surfing better. Well mostly because i want to use upto 3-4GB of my HD, but yea it does help out..
short list a few designs you think will suit the site and what the users may like then put up a poll on your site see what they think
I think that is a good idea to go for. But i would still like if you have any suggestions on the styles you like. Send me the links you like and i'll choose the once which i would prefer to keep it up. So like choose 10, i will choose 5 from there and then there will be poll. Next the best one will be up.
the proxy templates on the link i sent are pretty good looking but are overused in my opinion here are a couple i personally prefered (sorry about the gaps as i am not aloud to post full links): myproxytemplates .c om/2007/06/01/theme-11-the-purple-alien-must-see/ myproxytemplates .c om/2007/05/06/themes-7-8-very-hot/ <<Theme 8 ifreeproxies. c om/templates/free-phproxy-template-quick-proxy Thats all the decent ones i can find that i like, if you want to look for some others google "free proxy templates" and you get loads to choose from
Well, i'll look into for others opinions, i still think that my template is much ideal and suitable for everyone. If i just do some CSS changes for the proxy form, it might look a bit more better and attractive.
ok, this is pretty awsome! My site's PR jumped from 0 to 3! in just about 3 months of time. My site was started on 26th January while it was with someone else before... Amazing isnt it? Appraise my site if you can.. I feel that i gonna get some great advertisers..
