    phproxy wont work with youtube. You'd need to add the modifications to make youtube videos play. However, most people don't bother as it will use loads of bandwidth and not add any monetary value...

    I am looking to purchase a couple of 728 x 90 banner spots on proxy sites. If you have a site you think is suitable and are prepared to give me a 728 x 90 banner space above the fold either reply to this thread or send me a PM.

    I'll need you to provide me with the following information;

    • URL
    • Daily & Monthly Uniques. Preferably screenshots taken from AWStats.
    • Current PageRank
    • Weekly & Monthly Advertising Rates
    Thanks.

    Well, I have 3000 GB sitting idle anyways on shared hosting, so I thought I might as well utilize it.

    I mean $1 for each proxy. So $30 proxies a day.

    it is possible still but it will just take more work and more time

    and also maybe a bit of paid advertising to help it getting started up etc but its very possible

    Thats what I'd like to know.

    How much $$ and time will I have to spend?

    PS:

    So you're saying with maybe 1 days work I can make $5 a day off 30 proxies? Thats still pretty sweet.

    well basically set them up (1 hour)

    submit to asmany proxy.org style topsites you can find, ones where the top position is rotated (hour or 2)

    create a proxy yahoo group and add the subscribe form on your proxys (1 hour)

    If you do that you will be on about $5 + a day for 30 proxies if you use adbrite and adsense. e.g. monetize the proxified pages

    Sweet!

    What script do you recommend for maximum profit, and how much does the domain name matter?

    IE: ****proxy.info vs random.info

    phproxy would be the best

    just get a template from freeproxytemplates.com

    And dont use proxy in the domain as some places block all domains with the word proxy in

    Go for stuff like unlock**** unblock **** etc

    Thanks

    Yes phproxy has been discountinued but the creator left it in a working version. It could still be used but only thing you need to do is download it from sourceforge.com someone has already posted the link some pages back.

    I wrote a blog post regarding getting started in the proxy business. Pretty basic for people already in the business but informative for those who want to start (like tushardhoot1). You can find it on Kiloserve Blog.

    They are tips I picked up from this thread, from other people's website (e.g. techentrance) and from my experience and I will be adding more stuff that is spread around this thread like hotlink protection code.

    Thanks for making this a great thread to share knowledge!

    I've still got the templates from www.phproxythemes.com if anyone is interested. (I can't resell them though)

    By the way, when I had my network, I had a static HTML page with all my proxy links on them, and provided an emailing list - proved to be very popular and $$$

    The seller/creator/skin designer had her templates ripped/re-sold and a new owner took over. The templates were really nice (that's why I bought a membership). I'll have to get in contact with the new owner to see if I can re-distribute them :)

    It is not pretty (actually pretty ugly), but I get anywhere from a 3%CTR - 35% CTR....crazy but true.

    This is the demo of it.
