    I think you could check simply by going to chinese website hosted in china threw the proxy. If it does not connect. It means your packets are being dropped somewhere in china firewall.

    Well, chinese guys mostly watch adult videos on your proxy, so that takes much much bandwidth from the proxy
    So it isn't all good, but indeed what you say is true
    Also my mate has a turkish blog (where youtube is blocked) and he put the link on his blog and ofcourse I had much traffic :)

    $5-10 on day on 50K visitors is too low!

    My sentiments exactly! However when widgetbucks first came out I was making about $50 a day off 50k Chinese visitors with widget ads placed just on the homepage alone. I was using laptop ads which states the prices of them for $2,000. Chinese must have thought that = 2000 rmb which = to 290usd which is super cheap for a laptop which explains teh high amount of clicks xD

    Just a pity Widgetbucks no longer pay for China traffic =/

    @Matt, sure mate talk to ya soon :)

    Hmm actually they did not really use that much BW. In fact 1k US visitors on my proxy at that time were using a lot more BW than the 50k Chinese visitors. From what I observed, US traffic tend to surf alot more pages which is good for CPM proxified pages earnings ;)

    I guarntee you thats becuase they didn't have any GeoIP in place with their Ads. (big mistake on their part) you probably actually were hurting there business making them lose money. Then later WB did put in geoip and only pays now for US traffic.

    Have you ever been able to contact Mediashakers? I've emailed threw the control panel. Then replies with some message from some site saying enter here to get added to mediashaker's email list. (some kind of spam protection) I did however and he never replied. Then I emailed again and got the same stupid reply from that spam protector. Lousy support. I'm thinking of pullign the ads out of fear of not getting paid. you can't even contact Eyal Barad.. And in the control panel it says something like "all email with replied to in 1 business day, or sooner".
    Right.. Truly unprofessional.

    Yes proxy sites are still profitable, currently though with summer drawing in closely i advise that people do not start in the proxy market although i am currently working on a summer proxy site experiment which will focus on search engine marketing on a proxy site, the tutorial is on the first part of the stage which explains keyword research focused around proxy sites.

    You can find good proxy hosting in the buy, sell and trade section of the forum i also advise you to download my free proxy ebook in my signature it may help you in marketing, domain picking monetizing installing, uploading and choosing the right proxy host.

    The market is saturated however the demand is always there (still in summer, just very weak).

    Hi i currently do not run any proxy sites my last network i sold a couple of months back before summer comes along. I have had lots of experience in the proxy site business, and i used to make approximately $5 per proxy site per day. Obviously these are very flexible i made $19.54 on one proxy site for one day once, but that was lucky.

    You can see how to monetize proxy sites by downloading or reading online, my eBook here:
    http://www.back-links.org/Proxy-Ebooks.php

    Dont worry its free, all i gain is a bit of publicity.

    Will.

    I'll take a review. Hopefully it's not the same as the last 5 E-Books that have been floating around!

    Well he means $1,5 per month :)
    You must see 1,5$ and not 1500$ xD

    Or he invested 5000$ and earned 1500$ mate ;)
    But your right, many ebooks are full of crap :(

    I will watch your ebook mate ;)
