submit to topsites contact a number of proxy blogs, just one link on one of these can send you a 1000 uniques/month make sure you have submitted to all search engines use yahoo answers and Google Groups to promote your proxy. Once you have a small amount of income, consider investing in a newsletter placement as they can drive quality traffic to your site.
Stubleup, digg, Y! answers, google groups, yahoo groups, etc... all will work for traffic. You can of course always buy traffic, but that cuts directly to your bottom line. Topsites, in my opinion and from my research and personal test are a waste of your time. List sites however (just people that make alist of proxies) are valueable. Just have to try it and see.

When's the last time you saw a proxy get any where near the front page, without the URL being permanently banned from Digg?
