I have a network of more than 100 proxies and they make me around $50+ on normal days. But earn less than $5 on holidays. And on Christmas, they are DEAD. Are your's too?
I think people dont spend much time in front of their pcs on holidays. My site hav -98% visits today. Merry Christmas!
But proxies are used worldwide and not everyone celebrates christmas. Iranians and chinese people use proxies aswell......
Iranian and Chinese traffic are worthless, they just leech resources and have no significant impact on earning!!
I do understand that iranians and chinese are masters in finding the "adrress bar" and browsing because they use proxies everyday but my adsense logs did show lots of clicks from iran and china. Maybe some are dumb
My sites havn't been getting their usual traffic the past 2 days and I don't expect it to until after the new year. Depends on your niche really. Most people around this time of year won't be online much.
Exactly, the money you make off those countries dosn't even cover the bandwidth costs to show them their content. I'm even thinking of banning worthless countries just to cut down on some running costs. I'm running a business not a charity.
