Review a PHP Proxy Template

    Hello guys, can you please review the design on http://www.sneakmy.info/

    It took about 30mins to make and I think it looks ok, not sure about the browser box being blue though, any suggestions or tips on how to make it better?
    I might release it as a free template download, but I will decide later on.

    Andrew.

    Not too bad.

    The blue box doesn't really fit into the design though. Try some other colours.

    Nice and clean, looks great. I would suggest making the URL box the same color as the blue in the logo.

    Thanks for the suggestion, trying it out now. I would also like to know if anyone would be interested in downloading this as a template? If I get a few responses I might put it up for free download.

    Well it's kind of adsense optimized for high earning, or at least I think it is ;)

    Unfortunately I can't change the 468x60 background, as the background is a gradient background, and adsense only allows 1 color for the background.

    As for your article, I spent a good 5 minutes reading it :) I already know how proxies work, and how to monetize it, but that's a pretty good article, excellent for people trying to start out in the proxy business.

    One thing I might do is install Adlogger as you suggested, don't want my proxy sites to get click bombed ;)

    I suggest you put the article on your SIG link and try to promote it or something, it'd be very helpful and resourceful for a lot of people on this forum I would imagine. On a different note, I'm also going to sign up to your forums !

    Andrew.

    I like the design, once suggestion: you might want to try adding one image ad unit beside your 250 x 250 ad and see how that works ;) I see too much text on the site at the moment

    Yeah, I agree, now that you think about it, there's too much text in there. But I don't have a 250x250 ad, so where did you propose I put an image ad unit?

    Just wanted up update and say that I am having over 10% CTR for this amazing template, unbelievable but it's true. I only had a few clicks and little impressions, but this gem has gotten me over 4$ already.

    Looks really nice just it looks a bit messy with all text and ads together.

    Yeah, I tried to optimize it for adsense which I think it worked (maybe not, because the proxy is new). But I had less then 100 impressions yesterday and it turned out 4$ via adsense. I'll probably just need to wait a couple of more days to just test it out a bit more.

    the ads are so prominent, I am not surprised by the high CTR.

    proxy's are there to solve a problem - why not make some cash in the process.

    rock on.

    Hi,
    I think your site looks really awesome..The url box could be just about any color and would do the trick.. so if you like blue , I think its great.

    Colors do matter alot but on the hottest of sites like these , I dont think a blue , red green url search ar is going to matter a whole lot .

    The site looks great.
