whats the best way to monetize a proxy?

what is the best way to monetize a proxy?
what type of ads to put on proxified pages?

around how much $ do you earn per 1000 unique visitors to your proxy?

new to proxy and help is appreciated. thanks

 

CPM ads from canepmedia/adbrite works on proxified pages. Bidvertiser ads can also be shown, but very low CTR and people call them scammers...LOL

You can use adversal popunders too.

 

CPM ads like adbrite, bannerconnect and canepmedia. Adbrite and canepmedia pays by check. Bannerconnect pays by check and paypal.

This is depend on many factors, but you need to have a lot of visitors and quality visitors, like from USA, if you want to earn a lot of money.

 

Good Point Vasa

It will depend very much on your demographic. From this you can work on optimizing your ads. Traffic for proxy sites seems to be mainly from eu and asia (in my experience anyway). Anyone else have vastly different stats?

 

I've always wondered why the million and one proxy sites here on DigitalPoint don't do anything like www.proxify.com ? They offer free proxy surfing, but it's limited and at certain times it won't work for guests. For full functionality (and they offer a lot of features), you need to pay a membership fee. Judging by their membership rates which I pay, it's clear to see that they don't have much competition.

 

Agree on this one. Very true.

 

Because most users are children and wouldnt pay for this service

Why would you pay when like you say there is a million and one other proxys to use

Also what is best cnapmedia or adbrite

Does cnap media always have a banner displayed. So i will never have times when there will be no banner

I was thinking of having 2 small banners on the top of the page. One from adbrite and one from cnapmedia and see which does best

 

Most users of proxies are children? Where did you get that information from? Teenagers use proxies at school/college, adults use proxies at work, hackers use proxies, webmasters use proxies. People in China/Thailand/Korea with the internet use proxies to bypass government filters, do a little research on your market perhaps? It's not just children who use proxies.

Personally I pay for reliability, many extra features which free proxies don't have, alternate IPs. The fact that most free proxies have the word 'prox' on page, which is automatically blocked by most good netfilters, proxify has alternative domains such as www.wintergreen.org.

Not to mention it supports a lot more than free proxies, is a lot faster and can integrate in my browser for complete and easy anonymous surfing with the URL being encrypted. If you want a serious proxy, proxify is the best one.

I would guess that proxify makes more money than any other proxy on the internet, or at least in the top 5.

 

What makes you think that hackers will pay for the service? Also, I would say that majority of the users are still teenagers and students so it is not very likely for them to pay for such services. Their stand is more like, 'Why pay when there's so many proxies out there?'

 

Some will. I disagree that most users of proxies are students and teenagers. I don't own a proxy site, but if I did, I would target the far east as it's expanding at a far greater rate and many of them need a proxy service to get past government regimes. Ethical proxies, if you will.
