    I think nick-a provides a service for this, but you only get homepage ads.

    As other people said, try nick-a.
    He provides a rather innovative service with a nice control panel.
    He'll get proxied pages and you get index page adsense

    A little time ago my adbrite account has been limited. They told me that I have generated a huge amount of invalid impressions . I have sent them all my raw log files, but I received a reply from them:


    "Please send use the Analytics stats. You may use the same zone on multiple websites, so you can use the same zone on multiple sites. However we prohibit sites that do not have original content to differentiate them from one another under the Acceptable Use Policy. If you have hundreds of sites, it's likely they do not have original content and would be rejected under this policy."

    I dont understand why they need analytics stats if they have raw logs stats + why they having a many proxies is against of their TOS [they are saying that the sites are the same and dont have original content]

    Please advise


    Thanks

    Is a VPS with 256mb enough for me to start a CGI proxy?

    Your joking right? No, you have to skip shared and go straight to dedicated on that one.

    Rezo: Try to block bad traffic especially China. You will save on bandwidth + your earnings will increase

    Try to block via .htaccess file or via apache mod_geoip

    Anyone can help me with my issue?
    Thanks

    The traffic is good most if from US, Canada and Saudi Arabia. I am changing to my old template and switching to bidvertiser, let's hope this one will be better.

    Not so fast. I've been running Proxace.com, a cgi proxy, on a vps with 256 mb for over a year now at slhost. Their service has been amazing and I can only say that everything has messed up due to strain a few times.

    No matter what host you are using. 256Mb is the same size. cPanel can eat those 256MB and might leave few MB's for the OS

    I'm sure your proxy is low traffic one. no ?

    Currently it is fairly low. At its peak, almost 2 million hits a month. That's no cupcake for any server. RAM is an important factor in any hosting setup, but it is not the only. Processing power and burstable RAM are important as well.

    Any opinions in regards to the post I made here:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=5999982#post5999982

    Also, I currently have a dedicated server for running two PHP-based proxies, and the specs are the following:

    Intel® Pentium 4™2.8ghz
    1024 MB RAM
    1,500 GB bandwidth

    However, I have been receiving the following message from my server due to apparent CPU overload:
    So, my question is: what kind of processing power is required to run a couple mid to high-traffic proxies?

    One year? You must be making big bucks with this cgi proxy that runs on 256 mb VPS.

    I don't know... I only need 5 dedicated Core2Quads with 8GB of ram running a mod_perl and a squid caching frontend to keep my 11 CGI proxies going in DNS round robin. You must have some serious optimization skills to keep it running on that.
