    Yeah but I think most of my European / American traffic is from schools, so I expect a traffic drop from about 50 / 75% :(.

    Yeah, you can see traffic decreasing already :(

    And yes mates, some people can't access the sites :(
    Do you guys know good proxy hosts?
    Where do you host your proxies?
    Ref links may be Pm'ed later if you help me good now :)

    Thanks for second part of tutorial

    @Submitting to toplists,
    I will only submit my proxies to proxy.org because, I saw the traffic I got from submission is only from there...
    Other directories for proxies aren't giving me much traffic...

    Does anyone know how to resolve the following error? I get it on a new proxy I setup. When you enter a URL, the proxy doesn't work and I get the following:

    URL Error (-1077752960): An error has occured while trying to browse through the proxy.
    Failed to connect to the specified host. Possible problems are that the server was not found, the connection timed out, or the connection refused by the host. Try connecting again and check if the address is correct.

    You can submit your proxy sites to www.meoso.com
    You can get lot of traffic, I have got around 500+ visitors everyday.

    try browsing to somewhere that should always work like google.com and see if you have the same problem...

    if you can't browse to google, then chances are it's either a dns or a firewall issue on your server...

    topsites do work as a handy backlink if your looking at grabbing keywords - they are ideal for new proxies as they bring in fresh traffic which means adsense.

    How about submit your proxy to www.proxywhereabouts.com
    I'm sure it can help bringing traffic as I constantly see people visiting my site.

    Traffic does drop, just be ready for when it is back up again

    Thanks to everyone who PM'd me regarding the ebook, some will be given a review copy

    I made $1,500 in the first month and this is still very possible. I congratulate you all for going the proxy route as its a great way to start out online.

    I'll probably write up a free article here on how to keep traffic going during the summer months

    Peace

    Glen

    Here is my problem with proxies... I had (still have) three proxy sites that I hosted on my dedicated server. One day traffic jumped so high that the server was dying every 10 to 20 minutes. I tried to optimize but could not find a solution.

    I have disabled the proxies (still making some money from the clicks on the home pages)... what kind of a server should one have to be able to host a popular proxy site/s? Mine is 2GB RAM and Dual Core CPU. Thanks.

    22 Jun 2008 24694 915280 919516 26.35 GB
    23 Jun 2008 26216 892109 896861 24.50 GB
    Average 16129.17 672360.26 675542.70 17.18 GB
    Total 370971 15464286 15537482 395.07 GB

    That proxy site is hosted on vps with 512 RAM .. where i have 1 eggdrop, 1 psybnc, 5 shoutcast servers, named and + other 4 proxy sites with average 200+ visitors pear day.. those stats are from awstats .. i have google analytics where its says:

    121,207 Visits
    1,223,477 Pageviews

    is a good server , try to block China or countries from Asia who waste the resources.

    your server should resist to at least 2000 - 3000 people / day , exception the new beta versions of glype, i tested with a beta glype and crushed very easy my server too with only few users.

    Damn it too you two years to make a post? wow

    Anyway, anyone think it's a good idea to have many proxies since hosting fees do come and eat out profits?
