Earnings from proxy is going done. Any body else affected?

    I have been noticing a steady decrease in revenues from proxy, some of my proxies ranks in google for myspace and proxy related keywords. And almost entire traffic is from google.

    But for the last week I have seen a steady decline in revenues. This one proxy of mine regularly make $15 to $20 per day, and is ranked in google, but for the last couple of days it cannot even break the $3 mark.

    I checked my rankings and they are ok, I changed my tracker and it is showing steady visits, but very little earnings.

    Any body else affected ?

    You Have Been Smart-Priced!!

    Its sad but its true... My proxies did the same thing.... I closely watched my traffic saw a lot of iran traffic and some suspicious activity... Reported some stuff too google too... but then alas 2-3 days later most proxy owners either recieved a warning from google or got banned cause someone out there has been messing around with all proxy website adsense codes. I have written more about it in the following post:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=2839449&postcount=44

    So, what did I do? I removed all adsense from my proxy websites... thats right all of it... now I am earning from popunders adversal and another.

    Is it as good as adsense? Hell no, adsense was better when it wasnt smart-priced, but after that, its all good.

    Why is it good? Cause I have been getting more and more traffic for some reason from Iran and my popunders pay better than adsense for this traffic, as for the US visitors, yes money has decreased, but its still good.

    I have no popups or ads on my homepages, as a matter of fact they are clean! all the popunders are in the proxified pages!

    Why the hell am I even mentioning this? I dont know!! :)

    Anyways if you see any wierd activity you may decide to either block it somehow or remove adsense temporarily. Your adsense account will prove to be worth much more in the end.

    And yes... you may consider to just ignore the rest and filter out MFA listings from your adsense account ad filters... some people have seen their revenue go up upto 200% with that.

    Cheers!!

    I think smart pricing occurs across an entire account. I have some other sites that serves ads from the same account, and they are doing ok.

    I think, google is screwing proxies.

    did the traffic level stay about the same?
    cause my traffic fell to about 1/3 of what it was before weekend, and it went back to normal today.

    i have been getting a steady $0.1-$0.12 average per click today.
    not much but still better then smartpriced.

    I removed all Adsense from my two proxy sites. Wasn't worth it, IMO. Still haven't utilized other advertisers since I have been a bit lazy, but the popunders sounds good!

    A proxy IMO, is better than those lame splog MFA's or info only MFA's, atleast a proxy is providing a service to its visitors, what does a MFA provides, nothing, zilch, nada, zero.

    MFA = Made for Adsense.

    A website made only for the purpose of generating clicks.

    Interesting... my 2 proxy sites are 1 week and 2 weeks old. At first they were smartpriced and did awfully. In the last few days I worked on ad placement and now i'm getting more ($1 a day approx per proxy). I dno how good/bad that is, but i've done no advertising except through proxy.org

    if you list your proxy on proxy.org then google will add you to the list and lower your earnings. theres an issue going on with proxy.org right now on bots click bombing so be careful.

    How do we take sites out of proxy.org?

    i have a 2 month old proxy site and making arround 3 bucks daily with it.
    Ofcourse i want to increase that to a 1000 but if such a thing happens because you are on proxy.org (besides the bot clicks thing) i say i want my domain out of that one.

    also.. it havent send me any high traffic at all
    i'm making arround 500 uniques daily and less than 5% is from proxy.org (data from google analytics)

    ***********************************************************************
    by the way; I apologize because my ignorance. Please understand that I'm a newbie. This is the first time I've been runing a website.
