    since school is out, a lot of our traffic is going away. anyone else not getting crap for traffic? i have 41 new sites up with almost no traffic at all. i haven't really advertised them but still i should see at least a couple page impressions. not even any today so far...

    Its called seasoning.

    Every business has a "season" where they have high and low periods.

    It makes perfect sense that a proxy site would slow down during Summer because kids are at home on their own internet connection and have no need for a proxy.

    That's why it would make sense to have atleast 1 or 2 proxies in your network aimed at work users.

    Don't forget, work does not break up for the summer (unless your a teacher ;))

    Try doing a bit of work related SEO on a couple of your sites - it may just help pay your hosting account!

    Also, over the year, put some money aside from your earnings to pay for hosting over Holiday periods, Summer and Christmas etc.

    It would pay to diversify so that you can market your proxies to different demographics.
