Yeah that was my concern tripad, I'm glad that your traffic and revenue hasn't been effected xternall. I just remember discussion last summer that earnings/traffic fell during the school holidays and as a result there was like a mass sale of proxies all over the webmaster forums. I guess people are still going to have to work, and work is no fun without proxies.
Well my traffic and revenue was actually affected! I lost the major figures, but I still have enough hits/traffic to get a daily $5 , but it used to be 10-15
Looks like xternal received one of the new strict Marketplace bans. It's good hear some Indian colleges will be returning this month. Maybe there is hope
How much and what kind of promotions needs top be done for a network of 45? What kind of paid advertisment needs to be done? What should I spend per month promoting the network? I was thinking around 400 a month in advertisement would that be sufficient? Thanks to Anyone Willing to Help
I'd start with at most 5 sites, and then slowly add more as time goes on. You really don't need to pay anything for advertising but you could buy some promotion things in the BST section here.
I really like the sound of those Opt-in mailing lists, I can assume nothing buy great results (speaking from somebody who has used Opt-in newletters before to promote a forum). I would also take a shot at guessing that Myspace bulletins prove good results. And of course, topsite's -Points at sig-
Any 1 else have problems with http://www.strikedata.com and http://www.cmodz-hosting.com ? they seem to be down
whats going on ! god damn host down times all my proxies are down , losing 4500 hits a day and $10 :|
Get set for proxy sleeping mode, all the schools are just about to shut up shop for the summer if you make most of your money in proxies then I think it's time you invest in something else to make it though the summer.
I understand that US schools(where most traffic comes from) closed around a month ago. But there's still traffic from people at work and in some other countries it's school season.
Maybe where you live, schools over here in the UK are ending now or next week. Going to hit some proxys quite hard with a heavy UK market. Well, when I used to own a large proxy, a lot of traffic came from places such as India and European countries and I'm not of their closing dates. You may have to increase your advertising budgets if you want to see some returns this summer, just submit to proxy topsites like crazy and you shouldn't be effected to bad, at least I wasn't last Summer. There's still a market.
There's not just one rule for every region. Up here in the North East, Middle schools are finishing next week, I finished like 4-5 weeks back (A2 Levels) and I'm unsure of First School's. There's not one closing time. Im basically saying, by the end of next week, most UK schools will have ended. The workplace is still going to provide a lot of traffic for proxy's.
I am aiming indian students now .... contributing 40 % of my traffic .... but UK traffic virtually ended 5 days ago on my charts ..... And the best part ..... Indian promotion is the easiest !
