Best way to market a proxy directory?

    Hello everyone,
    I currently run a proxy directory that lists a lot of the free-web-based proxies on the web today, with a description, and link to the proxy... What steps can I do to help with the marketing of my proxy directory? I've posted a few threads to ask proxy site owners to submit their proxy...

    What else can I do though? Should I try to offer site-wide links with proxy networks, and have their proxy link be displayed all on site-pages on the proxy directory?

    Advertising on proxy related sites, and proxy webmaster forums will help alot. Contact proxy topsite, list, blog, and related owners and arrange an advertising exchange. I am submitting the site in my sig now. :)

    Could you also link back? I think this may help with the viral marketing. Do you know any proxy topsites by any chance?

    There are soooo many proxy topsites. Just start on google and I am certain you will find more than enough. I am also submitting your site on the home page of proxiestoday.com , if you would like the code to place a voting button on your site so people can vote on it easier send me a pm.

    Thank you so much for the advice! Has your proxy topsite ran into any promotion trouble as well?

    Thanks for the tip, I think I will. :) The whole directory needs a revamp, and I think I'll do that now.

    It's a directory, it lists proxies that are online, with its own profile, and linking to it. Each profile contains the proxy name, with a description. It also lists all the new proxies, and all proxies that are listed.
