I got a proxy which gets 1.5m hits a month how much is it worth?

hey
I have a proxy which I haven't advertised at all apart from told a few friends offline who then told their friends etc so now everyone in my county whos in full time education uses it to get on bebo, myspace, facebook etc.

Im getting 250k pages and 450k hits every 10 days and its growing exponentially as friends friends tell their friends. Just wondering how much is it worth? Its Pr3 anyways. Im earning about $1 a day from adsense, 50c a day from adbrite and 50c a day from paypopup.

I don't think i've montized it correctly though.. anyone know any proxy friendly networks which do 10c cpm (popup or banner) non-unique?

thanks for all your help
kind regards
chris

 

its cool if u want to sell pm me

 

I have like 100 hits a day or more and get that same cash..

 

What? 1$ a day? Uhh dude you are definitly doing something wrong, push a new advertiser on your proxy or a new pop up program. Lets say you push the price up to 20 cents per 1000 you should be making around 50$ a week, around so.

 

@$1 a day...you could sell it for $100

 

this may be something to do with your placement of the adsense ads, post the url here? so that we can discussed what need to be improved.

 

Might PM you some time

Good for you!

i am getting clicks, maybe the advertising networks are only recording uniques, so i would have to get 1000 uniques to earn the $1.80 and the most a day i could probably get would be about 300-500 . know of an advertising network which pay a solid rate for non uniques ?

Yeh I could but its only an extention to an inactive blog i stopped using

looks cr*p with your adsense block actually WIDER than the rest of your page layout!

A proxy site should have:

2-3 pages with a little bit of content on them.
Maximise the use of Adsense by using 2 or 3 ad blocks

On proxied pages have your header with CPM/Banner ads and popups as well.

 

Lol yeh It does look like crap but i've been getting a much better consistent CTR since I've changed it! kinda shoves the ads in your face and says 'oi dont just look at me give me a good 'ard clickin'. However I'll move it back to how it was for a couple of days

I don't need the 2-3 pages of content for SEO as all my traffic comes from word of mouth offline, so by the time search engines start moving me into a considerable posistion, the west sussex county council network admins would of blocked the url.

On the proxified pages i have 2 468x60 adbrite banners next to each other. I also have paypopup pop under banner for every 6 minutes. However I think they only count uniques so could be a waste of time :0

thanks for your input.. .more please!

 

You should be making at least $20 with adsense daily with such traffic...

 

Making ads stand out is not a good idea. If it looks like an ad, people are less inclined to click them. You need to blend them into your page with good placement.

If needed, pay someone to fix your placement and blend the ads in. With the traffic you are getting, it would pay for itself many times over...

 

yeh but the people who use the proxy are dumb and will click anything with 'bebo' in the name lol. Anyways I've monetized it the typical proxy way for today.
Today is a proper school day, went into ad brite last night and rejected all the low paying ads so we'll see.

 

Sell me that proxy. With that traffic i can get about $10 a day and that is the least amount

 

its weird
there a lot of disturbing pop up when i enter your site
i wonder why there a lot of people use your proxy.

you use what to track your website stat?

 

because I have a monopoly But im gonna blatantly take them off soon I think some people are gettin hacked off with them
I use awstats, webalizer etc to check visits, hits, pages etc

Only got 1 adsense click today after making the banners smaller, So im gonna make them bigger again now.

Adbrite I earnt the most today after rejecting a load of low paying advertisments. Only 10k adzone views today

also added another $3.20 CPM ad which was recommeneded on another topic

 

You can sell it for like 10-20 months x 1 month revenue so you are making like 2$/day 60$ for 1 mont so like 600$

 

Did I read correctly that your proxy receives "...at most 300-500" uniques/day?

If that's all you get and they're all repeat users, I think your earnings sounds about right.

 

Your site seems to be down.

 

Around low $xxxx. upgrade your host.

 

Get a better server!!! It wouldn't even load for me.

Adversal is pretty good for pop-unders, I use them. I think their ad code might be bad though.
