Discussion in 'Sites' started by PalSys, Jun 12, 2006.

  1. #1
    Site Name: HotProxies

    URL: http://www.hotproxies.info

    Age of site (months): 8

    Monthly revenue: $200

    Site Description: HotProxies.info has long been recognized as the industry leader as a top sites list. The list has over 340 members (this is with pruning of defunct sites) and receives 3-5 new members every day.

    The site, in essence, is a basic top sites list, allowing web based proxies to get some exposure, and allowing proxy users to find a wide range of proxies at any time. The HotProxies link button is viewed over 50,000 times per day!

    For owners of web based proxies (such as myself), the site will serve as a great launching pad for your sites. I now have over 30 proxies online, all making revenue ranging from $60 a month to $500 per month, thanks in large part to the exposure that a prime space or a mass email via HotProxies can give you.

    So why am I selling? We are taking PalSys in a new direction, focusing more time, energy, and money on our hosting clients. We also have a couple of servers that are a bit bogged down by multiple proxies running on them, so it's time to step away from proxies to a certain degree for us.

    Revenue details: Revenue comes from the AdSense ads at the top and bottom of the page, the FastClick ads throughout the list, and the 'Featured Site' spot that we have been selling for $50 per month. We've been suffering some Apache downtime throughout June due the to 12 busy proxies that are cramming this server, so HotProxies is not getting the treatment it deserves. I would suggest the new owner take the time to sell the text link spots at the top of the site and the second banner spot that is now occupied by one of our banners for Arcade.tl.

    Traffic details: Traffic comes, in large part, from the referrers that show our button. As mentioned above, the button is seen over 50,000 times per day. I won't go into much more detail about traffic as there is a link below to multiple screenshots.

    Price (or starting bid): $1,000

    Is an auction?: Yes, with a reserve.

    Current High Offer: $2500 @ SitePoint

    BIN: $4500

    Google page rank: 6

    Closing Notes: I can't stress enough the huge potential that this site has as it's own money maker, and as a launching pad to create other money makers. The PR 6 makes it great for selling ad spots, and the button views give it a name that is known throughout the proxy industry.
