Hi; I have just setup www.pole.ws . The site is free anonymizer.. Any comment will be appreciated.. Regards..
Now it is making more sense. No wonder I didn't "get it". I work for myself with no boss to tell what I can and can not look at on the net. Thanks Josh.
With the right promotion, you can get an immense ammount of traffic to these sites. But unfortunitaly only about a month or two per site, as they get found and blocked as well by the big school blocker producers. (I have/am elling one of these sites, and I was actually emailed by the official writer of the blocking software in France I think it was, asking for all the IPs and domains that my site uses, so they could block it ) Josh
You should make it into an IE/Firefox add-in (toolbar or such) so that it can be easily used all the time when visiting sites. You could then offer this option as a subscription.
Great site, congrats! For those visitors anonymity and use of this kind of services is not totally clear, it's maybe an idea to add some more information about the topic itself - some kind of "About anonymity" or "Why you need an anomynizer" etc... In addition of that, some might like to see a page for your "Privacy Policy" In my opinion, in the long run this kind of additional information builds trust to your service - and people are recommending it to their friends etc... maybe it's not a bad idea to include a "Tell a friend" -possibility as well ...and for sure you want people to remember the site and come back - maybe "Bookmark this site" helps a bit. Success! PS. maybe you want to take a look at anonymizer.com as they have listed some reasons why people in some cases just want to use an anonymizer...
I see .ws is not correct choice for me Thanks for all your comments and suggestion. "Tell a friend" option will be nice, I will add this option as soon as possible.. Thank you.. Regards..
I guess it's my night to be a curmudgeon. Anonymous proxies are great tools for scammers and con artist to bypass security systems. I bet I block 10 anon proxies a day being used by Nigerian check overpayment scammers. There's at least as many Romanian bogus motorcycle ads that get posted and there's no way to tell where the SOBs are located. The only way we can detect them is after they've submitted an ad or an ad inquiry to their next victim. Personally I think the webmasters and the ISPs should be held responsible for the financial and emotional damage that is caused directly and indirectly by their use. Ask anyone running an eCommerce, auction or classified site and I'd bet you would get a similar opinion. themaster, I looked at your site and you did a good job, I'm just opposed to the concept in general given how much time and money we spend fighting scammers. It's time for the Internet to grow up. -jay
I was thinking the same thing. Even though it is one word (and an actual word), I am not so sure people will easily remember how to get back to it
ws sites always seem spammy to me, maybe its because of all the porn/warez sites that use ws domains. Maybe have another .com or .net that will be a mirror of the same thing. Josh
