Just lost faith in free webproxies business

    * I've been adding manually to around 150 sites to promote: top sites, listings, directories... so I have a LOT of backlinks
    * Also posted in several forums
    * Twitter, digg, pastebin, whois sites, facebook fan page...
    * Hotlinking is even allowed, traffic from wherever the country you want
    * Promotion in indian sites, chinese...
    * Dedicated Server goes pretty fast and kick asses

    -> After 1 month of all these promotion I have about 1000 Google results

    With all that I get only 1k daily uniques and earn every day less than 20 cents (Adsense + Adbrite)

    I consider I know enough about SEO but I do not know what am I doing wrong... any tips? Is this normal?

    Thank you

    PS: If you want to know proxy I will PM

    I've always had my suspicions about the web proxy business... it seems that it would consume a lot of bandwidth and generate little income.

    Besides, whenever I have tried to use http proxies, I have noticed massive popup, spam and malware attacks... which makes me reluctant to try new proxies on the one had, but on the other, it makes me wonder about how good a business it is if those engaged in it are forced to engage in trickery and all sorts of tactics to squeeze clicks out of click-stingy users.

    If the business model were any good, they would not need to do this... or so I always thought.

    Many people also will use browser plugins as the guy from Thailand pointed out... foxyproxy did not work well for me, but proxyswitcher does - it allows me to sort proxies by country and city, although that's not what it was designed to do.

    Anyway, buena suerte con su negocio, espero que sera mejor en el futuro!
    :)

    wow good review :) however I don't pretend this to become a successful business.

    I'm just checking profits given by a webproxy (which are *crap* most of clicks give me 0,02 USD) for 1k uniques and increasing, its not about the program, its about the proxy content

    -> At this rate, the PPC program you have is not important, its just the proxy content that pays *crap*

    I would say I need at least 3k of daily uniques to earn a single dollar lol

    anything else to mention?
