How do proxies do during the summertime?

    Hi,

    I'm looking to start up proxies, but as it is soon summertime, I'm not sure if I'll get my money's worth. I hear that mostly teenagers at school use proxies, so will traffic dramatically drop in the summer? Revenue?

    Hopefully someone with experience in proxies can answer this :)

    Thanks.

    iT depends who you target with your marketing, if you target working people as appose to school/college users during the summer period you should be fine.

    Good topic that I hadn't thought of before. Now I'm getting worried! What do you guys think the best way to target people at work is?

    I've been thinking about this for the past few weeks or so too, and haven't come up with much. I've messed with overture in an attempt to come up with good keywords, but there really aren't any high-hitting keywords that have to do with proxies @ the workplace - Has anyone else come up with anything useful? Come on, share the wealth :D

    to get traffic isn't that difficult, but the problem is, that google-adsense doesn't pay...yesterday, they closed my adsense-account because of invalid clicks, I had over 100$ :(

    Traffic drops really bad if you target only schools. If you have office users etc, you'll be fine.

    6 weeks you'll be low on daily income. Just make sure you prepare for it.

    or spend any money made from the proxy to set up 10 new websites (1 a week) each unique, which will make you money!!

    alternatively spend it planning a new big idea! see wt u can come up with
