^^^^^Thought the template was very messy ( chaos ) ^^^^ anyways - anyone know of where NEW proxy topsites are lists pls. cheers Rob
Hey mate i am always honest in my reviews whether i think the website owner will like the review or not so here goes. First impressions: Well i loaded "most" of the website up in a couple of seconds and was firstly confronted with a really nice unique looking proxy template design which looked to be targeted at students which is always good. The layout and the position of the text from the screen you could see when first loaded up was nice simple and clean. One thing i would point out from the text is perhaps make the peice of text under the heading "unblockism is a browser proxy" align with each other instead of using indents, thats just my personal preference though. I would get rid of the full page ad through adbrite as this takes about a year to load and really annoys people not only this, people at school who are trying to sneak on to their favourite websites whilst in lesson with out the teacher seeing them are going to get really annoyed waiting for this to load then realising there is an advert to skip and then being able to try and load there site, it takes a lot of time which most students do not have. I would also try and reposition the advert on the left hand side the skyscraper advert, lift it up to start with the text itself again a personal preference of mine. I would also change the colour of the title from yellow to white and again with the first heading in the black box of text. Perhaps put the first paragraph of text before the proxy search bar then put the other text below the proxy search bar. Also get rid of text link ads, not only do they ruin your design they are not very profitable in my experience. Change the text font to arial i think its in times new roman? if i am mistaken sorry. Try reposition the width advert that spralls across your page straight underneath the proxy search bar just before the text. Now what annoys me about your website is that the design is really nice and could be great with a couple of tweaks, it takes ages to fully load and thats annoying but no the most annoying thing is that it seems you have put a lot of time in to the proxy site then crammed it full of proxy topsites at the bottom because people have said that they work and you will get loads of traffic from them. But they really dont, apart from the unique 1 or 2 which are around which may send you some traffic most do not send you anything at all and appear to be useless, the only thing they do is slow down your proxy and make it look unprofessional and tacky. Because you have already gone to the trouble of using the topsites and putting in the backlinks to your site, i suggest you wait a couple of weeks, use some traffic stat counter like google analytics or awstats to track which topsites if any send you a decent amount of traffic in a one month period then delete all the other ones, but be aware they do slow down your proxy site. In conclusion its a really nice theme and design, with some tweaks it could look great. The overall advert positioning is not great however again with some tweaks could be improved. The topsites make the site look tacky and unprofessional they slow down the website along with the full page adverts and the text link ads, get rid of them. Thanks Will.

Well Willyboy, since you have made such a nice review, could you review my small network? I'll give you one link: http://www.time2hide.com Any advice / tips are welcome! Thanks
Just another spin on the full page ads to load For a while on my home network, any page with adsense basicly never fully loaded, it turned out to me a MTU issues from memory. I have never come across adbrites full page ads taking time to load over here though, sadly their normal ad blocks do tend to slow down the whole page from rendering/loading which is a bit of a pain but needs must. I did read a while ago javascript like that should always be in the very bottom of the html, problem is then writing it back to the top of the document etc which by the time any thing i make has done that the user will have scrolled past the top of the page, therefor missing them
Finally i built my own embedproxies, if you can defeat them , do like they do ... Anyone can build his proxy just using this code on his sites or make your own , you make money with Adsense , make as many proxies you want : White label code, nobody will know, use this for dark background :
Thanks a LOT people esp WILLE! ... i will certain take a note of everything you guys told ! ... and will reply wit all the changes i made THANKS A LOT AGAIN (i never expected such awesome replies )
and what , everyone gets blocked, i don't care if i'm blocked or not my interest is the traffic, more traffic better for me , why stay and advertise everyday a proxy and fight everyday with the spammers when can others do it for me and all make money ?
I noticed someone on tech-faq is submitting this site with with huge base64 urls, so it overlaps the spammer sites. so you can't click on it.
No , are perfect , the users don't care about them , i had xx.xxx to xxx.xxx impressions on adbrite with them in the good times
Is there a good time of the day to add a new listing onto tech-faq's list? EG peak time for what ever their main country of traffic is?
my advice is to search yourself , i know when but i can tell you because everyone will submit them at x hour and i , you will lose .
seriously , is a "business" if i tell you my secrets i must share not only the idea but my profit with you and other 100 people.
but you just let on that clearly it is worth looking into by saying you cant share it, it must be good, therefor all you have done is make who ever that is interested spend the time finding out, so even more of us will know now than you just saying about XXXX in X timezone, and people would over look it and now that we have both made a huge deal over it, it must be really worth looking into! I will rig up a script sometime for tomorrow to see when the best time is
