    Hi,

    What is better way to name a proxy site domain,

    1. Domain Containing word "Proxy" ? OR without ?
    2. Or some other relevant key word ?

    Asking because, i am new with proxy. So in case Search Engines decide not to motivate them, proxy containing domain will easy to get out of Ranks.

    This is just mine thought, whats your point of view in this regard.

    Thanks,
    ugem12

    Some school filters automatically block websites with the keyword "Proxy" in the domain. I would say it is best to start one without the word "Proxy" in it.

    I like proxies that don't contain the word proxy or unblock in the domain. Anything that helps it keep unblocked is good.

    I wouldn't use the word Proxy in your domain as many schools automatically block any of those sites that have it in it

    Yes, give all your short domains that contain proxy to me.
    I will take them all and not even charge.

    Honestly, unless you have very good sources for traffic with a very good, short and memorable domain using proxy in your domain is a good idea.

    Yes all networks block with the term proxy in the domain, do not put it on your domain just make it random dictionary words.

    well, all my sites have keyword 'proxy' in it.
    and i get 500+ uniques everyday.. consistently... without ANY advertising.

    also, i am blocking 100% traffic from proxy.org so traffic isn't coming form there. Its all natural type in traffic.

    What is the meaning of "google"?
    I don't know, but not "Search" or "Search Engine".
    Name is not so important for your site.
    If your service is good, then anything is ok.

    I would say without as most schools ban sites with the word "proxy" in the address.

    So .. far I have about 200 plus proxy names .. and most flock to the myspace in the name :) And I agree proxy is obviously blocked with most admins.

    However .. kproxy makes a ton .. :)
