    I was speaking from a proxy webmaster perspective. No I don't need to make it specific since we are in a proxy discussion thread.

    well i believe you should not talk like this
    even if google is not paying ... for the traffic you receive from china


    you must be cute enough to make money through this traffic as well
    look
    you make proxies
    who need this?
    students , ppl at work ,...
    +
    china , arab ,... nations
    adsense is not paying more than $0.02 PC for the second group
    so you must find new methods to earn through this alike

    No, most people don't understand and give opinions based on no experience. If your proxy is big enough you MUST have China blocked. China is the home to the biggest botnets in the world and they do use proxies for their deeds now. If you haven't experienced this yet, your proxy (or network of proxies) is small which is the case for most of the members on this forum.

    Never thought I would hear such an uninformed opinion outside of . . . . whatever.

    As any proxy webmaster can tell you, China is the home of the worst botnets, ddos attacks, and other evil things on the 'Net. Try running even a mid-size proxy network without blocking China. I actually made good money from China, but block them anyway. A huge outsize proportion of evil on the 'Net comes from China.

    I'm new with proxies, so I'm unaware of that.

    Stop flaming me already :p

    Yea and sorry if I sounded uber-rude and everthing ;)

    Coming back to the topic, the iranians giving me 10-20 cent clicks with 2% CTR. Is that normal?

    Cool. Now that we are all friends again . . . . .

    Sounds high to me. My chinese traffic made money, never my iranian traffic. maybe somebody with more iranian traffic can jump in.

    I've received 2000+ unique iranian users to my proxy, before I had to redirect them to some crappy page full of Exoclick ads, which made me the whooping 9 clicks and total income of $0.05. :eek:

    And unlike the general opinion on them - they dont seem to be ad blind - giving me 2% ctr :eek: :eek:

    Analytics told me that i'm listed on a couple of arabian blogs and thats giving me decent traffic, so emailed the webmaster and baited him with $$ or rapidshare accounts to list more of my proxies on his blog :p

    Yep, say bye bye to widgetbucks, cant use it anymore at proxies. My account got suspensed today and reason is "Placing WidgetBucks widgets on a page that is primarily showing ads is a violation of this policy."

    I had kept them until last week and really had no problem until then. Then they really started to kill my server load and were using up so much bandwidth and resources. With them all blocked and redirected (the adultfriendfinder really wasn't worth it) seems to be going ok. I might try to sell and redirect that traffic to someone else if there is enough of it.

    And it is appearing that my smart-pricing might be going away ;)
