Terrific. Just when I should be dying, I sprout.

    So I run proxies. I've got a network, and it's coming together, little by little. Only started a month ago. Yes, after Mubin's "Proxies are dead" rant, though he did explain himself later.

    Anyway, we all know summer = death for proxies. I seem to be going in the opposite direction. Proxies I haven't promoted are being discovered extremely well, and since they've not been promoted, they're off Google, and not blacklisted.

    Anyway, I've been making $5 a day from 2 active proxies for the past week now. Guess it's nothing to brag about to someone with a 100+ proxy network, but it's strangely invigorating to see my proxies being discovered on their own. The only advertising done was on a largely advertised proxy. A nice link to the other proxies of that particular small-network did the trick well. People liked it and flooded in.

    My news? I reached a $100 mark in three weeks, for the first time, from proxies. Yay for my achievement.

    Congrats! I'm going to start up some proxy myself. Now, I know not to expect much traffic during the summer months. Making that much .. to me is a great achievement.

    Yeah not all schools have stopped yet. But trust me, you'll know when it's summer. Just like at weekends, your income will drop a lot.

    Summer in the Proxictionary = When the first school let's kids out.

    About half of the kids have been let out. It's summer.

    This is why a good spread of other types of sites works best :)
