Do proxy sites still make money???

I used to own my fair share of proxy sites almost 2 years ago and was making a decent amount of money. Then it seemed like there were just TOO many proxy sites out there and it wasn't worth making new ones.

What I want to know now is: Are proxy sites still profitable?
Do established ones still sell for $xxx or even more?
What are the new ways of marketing?
And lastly, what is the latest and greatest proxy script?


I have some extra room and bandwidth on a dedicated server and want to put a proxy, or two, on it.

Thanks in advance

 

Yes proxy is still profit biz coz now i'm earning $1/day from each of my proxy without any promotion.
The proxy price is depend on your revenueand it can fetch up to 3x of your monthly earning.
RSS feed and newsletter
I'm using custom make script coz currently the freely available script is not capable of doing the thing that my custom proxy script is doing.

 

Would you be interested in selling your script? Or what is the next best after your script?

 

Proxy sites are still profitable. I made $884 last month and I was slacking off.

Established proxies typically only bring 1 to 2 times the monthly income. They are highly volatile so that keeps their selling price down.

There are lots of ways of marketing like:
Yahoo Answers
Google Groups
yahoo Groups
proxy.org
School forums
Myspace
etc...

The latest and truly greatest is Glype. You can get it for free at Glype.com. I paid over $200 for custom proxy scripting a year ago and glype does everything and more then my custom script. Also it is more compatible and works better with many sites then my old script. Plus the developer and owner of glype is constantly updating his script. There are tons of free themes and many free addons. Its simple and easy to use too. I would totally recommend glype to anyone an that is what I use for my proxies.

Wow $884 is a new car payment plus gas!
Looks like I'm back in the proxy business.

I used to use phproxy and had ads on the 'proxified' pages...can glype do that?

 

Yes. I used to use a modified version of PHP. Glype can put ads on the proxified pages. I use Adversal popunders and banner ads on the proxified pages. You can check my blog on it at:

you want to buy proxies or? if so i have proxy which earn 40-70$ month..
the price is 130$

 

Do you require alot of proxy sites to make money or just 1 or 2 and promote them well ???

 

quality > quantity

 

@bluemouse2 i thought as much.Thanks

 

I just set up a new one and its made $1.43 within the last couple of hours.

 

i'm going to set them up but wait until Christmas break is over for schools to start promoting them...how many should i set up?

 

How are you guys hosting your proxy sites? If something illegal is done on them, arnt you to blame?

 

as I said before, quality matters not quantity. of course it's better to own more than one

there are many proxy web hosts available today. make sure you have defined a clear Privacy Policy, a disclaimer and Terms of Use for your proxy service

 

i think the answer is yes..i don't have my own proxy sites, but in my country youtube and geocities are still banned so we have to use proxy sites=)

 

miktor is right glype is super easy to setup and put in your adsense too

 

i am thinking of starting my own proxy too.. any advices or insights into this market? is it too saturated to profit?

 

all markets are saturated to a level. think about starting a flash games website for example - the internet is full of them but you can still succeed if you work a lot - so what really counts is the effort you are able to give

 

I don't think i see the quality when we talk about proxies, anyone is using phproxy or glype , many have a dedicated server, most proxies are blocked fast in schools.

Maybe quality can be : youtube support, unique template, fast server... had all of them and made more money using a shared host than my own dedicated server.

 

I just woke up and knew that proxy can make money. oh..my goodness.
