The Proxy Discussion Thread

I believe i read it somewhere. Well, maybe i am just paranoid

 

^^^^ That was long time back..someone used to click bomb the google ads on the sites that were listed on proxy.org..must be some lame sucker

 

Its a shame the proxy.org owner (hi) is very rude and hard to deal with. Offered him my money a few times, never again.

 

do you mean the "bloody" baron?

 

This is not the case on a typical day.

Absolutely not. Proxy.org has never operated a "click bot." Proxy.org has always sought to operate properly in a manner that would benefit itself and its users. I responded to these unsupported comments in this thread on April 18, 2007.

You should read the corrective statement issued by the person who started the rumors.

These rumors are unsupported, inaccurate, and untrue. Again, see the corrective statement issued by the person who started the rumors.

 

My proxies were clickbombed while they were on proxy.org last year
and Adsense closed my account right than and there.
They knew that the sites were click-bombed yet - my account was
closed and I lost more than $1400 from my 2 proxy sites.
I am not sure if proxy.org was attacked by a bot but the proxies
promoted there were an easy pray.

 

In summary avoid proxy.org

 

This is like blaming the phonebook for getting dropped by your long distance carrier. You are entitled to your opinion but it is nevertheless irresponsible to blame Proxy.org for your problems, especially without any proof. The same baseless accusations could be applied equally to any of Proxy.org's competitors...

The facts are that Proxy.org has taken and will continue to take all steps necessary to protect its interests, the integrity of its systems, and the well-being of its users. Proxy.org has used its best efforts to design Proxy.org's system to be robust and stand up against abuse, and is continually re-assessing how to improve its systems. Through automated monitoring and spot checks, any abusive or improper use of its site is identified and addressed.

 

Hey guys what do you think about my proxy blog...

http://proxy-proxy.net

 

The members of my mailing lists want to receive many proxies. Proxy.org will sell up to a maximum of 20 Email Blasts per mailing but sends about 12 proxies on average.

Every line. For each of the 15 mailing lists that we send to, the proxies are reordered randomly to ensure a fair distribution.

 

will you still send it even if only one person buys it?

 

i dont know about the bothits or mailing blasts from proxy.org but the only thing i noticed is that when i listed my sites on proxy.org earlier i noticed that the bounce rate was over 90% for proxy.org
conversion rate for adsense was fine(neither good nor bad) and most of the traffic was from US as per awstats but as per analytics most of the traffic was from iran

 

Yes, mailings are sent every day.

 

Guys, appreciate if you can drop some of your answers in this thread.

It's about web traffic. I made a questionaire for research purpose.

Thanks.

ps* This has nothing to do with self promotion/selling/buying/advertising. Just a plain invitation to drop some comments.

 

After contacting Adversal about my rejected application, I have just received an email from them.

Apparently there are too many publishers for proxy-related sites. However, they have added me to a waiting list incase a spot opens up.

 

For Adversal, it is best if you applied with NON-PROXY site. The best site for fast acceptance is 1 month old arcade site with traffic OR well established Proxy Listing site or any forum with traffic. Trust me.

 

@ Proxywhereabouts, is WebEvader.org good then ? It has pr3 and is quite established. It also has a proxy forum on it. It has traffic.

Are there any other tips you can give ? Like clicking on a referral link

 

Try this:

1- Using your NON-PROXY sites, apply to Adversal.
2- Make sure prior to sign ups, you blocked China [CN], Iran [IR] and Russia [RU]. Use geotargeting on your site, it helps.
3- AFTER signing up, send an email to psupport -a-t- adversal -d-o-t- com and tell them a few additional details about your site such as stats screenshot etc. You may add that you have a few high traffic sites (if you really have them) and give the url out. If you are going to use it on proxies, tell them that you are also interested running their ad network on web proxy sites.
4- They might asked you this when they reply:

Things that you need to understand:
This is from Adversal staff: If the applicant's site complies with our terms, it could simply come down to a timing issue. Applications can be turned down if we don't have enough advertisers to fill a site's inventory, or if we have too many sites of similar focus already active in our network. In the case of proxies, the ladder usually tends to apply more.

 

I'm going to try and give it another shot. I hope I get in this time Thanks!

 

Thanks proxywhereabouts, I will resubmit again your help is greatly appreciated
