    Nice little script you got going there. I have a couple of suggestions for database improvements:

    - Encrypt the passwords stored in the database, it makes it a pain for 'forgot password' systems but is worth the security enhancement.

    - Add some indexes to your proxies table, specifically on the columns which get used frequently as this will speed up load time when the proxy list grows.

    - Switch your 'proxy_status' and 'removal_reason' columns from enum's to tinyints and use PHP to determine that 0 = pending, 1 = pending payment, 2 = active, etc, etc.... again it will improve performance.

    I didn't get chance to look over all of the source code but from what I saw it looks like a nice compact script, good job. I hope the suggestions are useful.

    Thanks for including A-Z :)

    We are now offering weekly proxy advertising from as little $0.75 for those that are interested in advertising now that the Easter break is all but gone.

    Your proxy does not seem to work, it just hangs on@
    http://curiousblog.co.cc/includes/process.php?action=update

    That would help regain any sort of returning users if you can fix that :cool:

    Then read a few posts up and submit to every ones fav sites (dont forget theproxyfinder.com ) you might find it hard to get co.cc accepted any where though.

    How many of you benefits from Proxy.org's Email Blast?
    I bought 2 blast one on 6th and another on 17th and both does not brings much traffic to me.
    Nothing much n earning. I find that my own group of 1k does give me more traffic than his 80k list. Weird.

    Not really weird. His lists are out dated and many of those people no longer will have a need for proxies. Look how long he had been planning to launch that service took forever so though its 80k+ emails not near that many users. Then with up to 20 other sites in those blasts and sent out daily odds are these end up in spam boxes and or ignored. Easier for these people to find sites on the numerous lists and even yahoo answers.

    I posted when it launched thinking getting one of the first emails sent out it would produce better results but I saw around 50-60 user increase for 2-3 days cant recall the exact numbers I posted. These were brand new sites on dedicated ips. Some people claim to get some better traffic but I think they are reading there stats wrong. Certainly didnt earn the money vested back I have better results answering a couple questions on yahoo.

    Was a good concept but I just think the lists are too dated and te groups arent active enough to be a viable means of traffic any longer.

    I was skeptical at first and strongly against it but couldn't help thinking "if". What "if" I bought and traffic flowing like a riverflow? What "if" that happen? What "if" this happen? Too much "if" so I went and bought it and there you go, I wasted $8 hard earn dollar to something that doesn't even work.

    Anyway, that remind me in the future to NOT to fight with my own instinct. :D

    Hey guys, had a question in my mind.

    We own several proxies. And me being a lazy person. I just dump a customized theme with text written by me in it.
    About what this site is about and all that crap.

    Well what I do is I just dump the same theme onto all of my proxies.

    So it's like I got many many clone sites.

    Since proxies are not content based site, more of a service-based.

    What are the adverse effects of having cloned sites in terms of adsense..

    Have you come across such instances of a person getting banned for having cloned sites..

    I mean come on G what do you except me to type in. A proxy is a proxy no matter what the description says !

    Edit: Does TMZ still have the 50% coupon code up n running ?

    i still don't understand how to promote the proxy list...
    because i only get a view visitor from it

    here is my proxy list

    maybe you all can submit your proxy at my site..
    now i don't check the Reciprocal link

    but, i hope you place my link at your proxy if you submit it to me
    :)

    Well you could try fixing the top navigation for a start, which loads fine at first and then disapears behind the rest of the page when using Internet Explorer 7.

    It might also be an idea to change the look and feel of the site to differentiate it from the hundreds of other proxy lists which are using that script.

    Thanks for including A-Z on your list.
