    1. Glype.
    2. Yes, there are some YouTube, MySpace, Bebo etc mods around the internet, you just have to search for a while.
    3. You must not rely on just one income source. You better try to monetize every single part of the site, while keeping the user experience at level. Use AdSense on main page, AdBrite or other CPM-based ads on the proxified pages. You could also use popunders on proxified pages like AdVersal (not accepting proxy sites anymore), but they lower the quality of the visitors experience and can drive people away (from what I heard).

    What do proxy templates/scripts maker have from it except a link?
    I think they put their adsense pub ID in our ads for example 20%

    Lol. It is not really comedy :p

    I have seen some template owners place their adsense code in the index file while tricking you into placing your code into a config. file as it does not configure theirs in the index file.

    Lol.. if you were a noob, they would be earning from your hard earned proxy! :)

    I was thinking free proxy templates aren't really free :p

    Maybe I will go into that business one day. Joke! :D I'm not into rippping people

    I'd love to go ahead and read the 300 pages of this thread, but I kind of don't have time :p

    Anyone want to summarize this a bit? You know, just point out what you think are the most important things about the thread. Like good deals, good advice, etc...

    $1.19 .info domains over at GoDaddy at the moment... https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/tlds/info.asp?ci=9196&tld=info

    Not sure if any of the other registrars are discounting yet or if it's just them...

    the best advice anyone can give you here, is read the whole thread... it might take ages but it's worth the effort to learn properly...

    Thanks, I repped all who answered me.
    I just need to change the pub-ID in ads to mine? shouldn't I create ads from my adsense panel?it's not against adsense TOS just to replace pub-ID?

    I run a templates site and I can tell you that often I don't even get footer links out of giving away free designs. Proxy webmasters remove them. They are too selfish to leave in a link or two :( So to answer your question there isn't much that I get out of giving away free themes. And no I DON'T put my adsense on your site :rolleyes: .

    Agreed. I also run a free proxy templates section to my site and once you set your adsense id, thats it, nothing more... I too would appreciate it if the backlinks are left in....this is the only thing we get for our trouble!

    And these kind of posts are pure stupid.

    So, how can you explain that my Statcounter shows that I have 1k Page Loads, but adsense shows only 735 Page impressions.
    Isn`t Page impressions same as Page Loads?

    Maybe statcounter is also counting the bots that hit and other search engines. After all, the ads are Java so bots wont trigger an impression but they will register on statcounter.

    Hope that makes sense.

    And the people that are browsing with javascript disabled? Bots many explanations other then the template. There are only so many files just look at the PUB #'s easy enough.

    MySpace Auto Friend adder for Glype, PHProxy, Zelune.com & Zelune.net proxy scripts. Only $20 until the end of the week.

    If you don't already have this, then you're missing out on some easy advertising and a captive audience for your proxies...

    The correct URL for the Zelune Proxy Script is the main and original website, http://www.zelune.com. Zelune.net is an out-of-date version running on an out-of-date form of code. Stay updated, use the real website.

    wouldn't it be easier, cheaper & not against Myspace TOS to just put a link on your site asking your visitors to be added to your Myspace friends? An expample can be found on this site - myspacewaiter.com (not my site). In Glype someone wrote the code for this, when someone surfs to myspace via your proxy, it will ask your visitor to be added to your myspace friends. You can find out more by going to this thread - http://www.glype.com/forums/index.php?topic=337.0.

    I had such a mod for my proxies (since removed) but found out quicjkly that not all people like to be added without their consent, you'll get lots of messages from people that were auto added asking who you are & some will get angry when you tell them how they got added to your friends list. Just a little heads up. :)

    Also it makes proxies look bad, proxies are seen as being shady.
    This person may not trust proxies any more and stop using them or find another way like (hosting there own proxy or using SSH)
    Which then we all lose a valuable visitors..
