The Proxy Discussion Thread

Yes, but following the logic think how much bigger you COULD be if you ranked for #1 for X term!

Hmm meep needs to stop being lazy

 

does sneakystudent.com show a blank page for you?

 

Exactly but i suppose its these people that don't SEO their proxy sites thats making my life much easier

 

ignore please

 

Yes EXACTLY my thoughts a few mins ago.. hold on meep if every one does this.. then you are screwed


Hope every one is ready for my huge post in a sec, be kind!

 

As above when i said i think we could benefit from a new forum somewhere to make things more organized Jezz let me roam free on his old proxywhispers.com forum

I have created a main single general chat area and would love some of you/ any of you to even spend a few mins posting random questions which you need answered
(Guest posting is allowed - no registration required)

Or posting random questions you have already had answered in the last couple of days (since the season has started)

This section can be found HERE

I am considering recapping some of the information my self and posting it over, mainly for search ability and reference but i am hesitant because it could make people angry.

A good example of why this was needed when someone a couple of pages back was desperately trying to find the google adsense code checker, which would redirect a user to another page/site if they had AdBlock installed

If all this information was on another forum or in its own topic at the very least its a simple case of search.php click "Topic titles only" boom no more looking through 300pages!

Jezz posted a good few templates also in his template section:

http://www.proxywhispers.com/viewforum.php?f=36
This is what is currently in it
[Glype] CoolWater Theme
[Glype] Envision Theme
[Glype] Proxy Black Panel Theme
[Glype] Proxy Black Flare Theme
[Glype] Proxy Slice Theme
[Glype] Proxy Music Theme
[Glype] Proxy Dadu Theme
[Glype] Proxy Arrow Theme
[Glype] [PHProxy] Underground template
[PHProxy] Proxy Orange flo Theme
[PHProxy] Proxy Red flo Theme
[PHProxy] Proxy Night Sky Theme
[PHProxy] Freedom Theme for PHProxy

Unlike other websites which offer templates, they mainly list their own, or it is mainly just one person who is going out listing what THEY like. Here you can post what you like and get feedback on what other people like.

It has a section where you can post/spam about your own services which you offer (Free or Paid)
Paid ones go here while free services can go into the general chat section.

There is a section to show off your own proxy, this is NOT a way to get traffic, if you have done something creative and want to show it you can do so. The forum is aimed at proxy webmasters this is not a poor attempted at me to corner another market by allowing people to list every single proxy out there.

Any way the Show Case section can be found HERE


To summarize the goal here is NOT to bring money, nor to steal any ones else traffic, nor to be the end all proxy authority. Just a central place where people/any one can add information and be able to search.

There is not an awful lot of useful information over there right now, just some past discussions but feel free to to old topics or even create new ones.

There are no ads because again this is to try and benefit the people here. I have pretty much NOTHING to gain here.

If you wanted to help out, you could put a link in your sig here at DP (If you post in this proxy topic - otherwise its not much use!) and you could begin directing people to the site with their questions and indeed posting your own questions/information

If there is no interest fairly soon (There will be no big $$$$ adwords promotion - spamming the whole internet - trying to trick people to go, if people want to go they will go otherwise..) i will give up and consider it a failure and be happy enough in the thought people are happy in this one big huge thread. One person is not what this site is about, but rather a group of people sharing information.

[CHEESE]THERE IS NO i IN TEAM!!!!!!111111[/CHEESE]



Also if any one is ready to devote them selves (hard core style) to the cause and hang around just encase this does catch on feel free to get in touch

Any comments welcome, constructive criticism also welcome, flaming not really welcome but fire away

where should I edit phpproxy script to add ads on proxified pages ?

Edit - ok I got it (add it after line 1147) but 1 more question, does anyone of you uses adbrite's linline ads with proxified pages ? does it even work ? is it even allowed (to show your ads on someone else's site) ? how is full page ads are doing in terms of returns ?

 

index.php

    if ($_flags['include_form'] && !isset($_GET['nf']))
    {
        $_url_form      = '<div style="width:100%;margin:0;text-align:center;border-bottom:1px solid #725554;color:#000000;background-color:#F2FDF3;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,arial,sans-serif;padding:4px;">'
                        . '<form method="post" action="' . $_script_url . '">'
                        . ' <label for="____' . $_config['url_var_name'] . '"><a href="' . $_url . '">Address</a>:</label> <input id="____' . $_config['url_var_name'] . '" type="text" size="80" name="' . $_config['url_var_name'] . '" value="' . $_url . '" />'
                        . ' <input type="submit" name="go" value="Go" />'
                        . ' [go: <a href="' . $_script_url . '?' . $_config['url_var_name'] . '=' . encode_url($_url_parts['prev_dir']) .' ">up one dir</a>, <a href="' . $_script_base . '">main page</a>]'
                        . '<br /><hr />';

        foreach ($_flags as $flag_name => $flag_value)
        {
            if (!$_frozen_flags[$flag_name])
            {
                $_url_form .= '<label><input type="checkbox" name="' . $_config['flags_var_name'] . '[' . $flag_name . ']"' . ($flag_value ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . ' /> ' . $_labels[$flag_name][0] . '</label> ';
            }
        }

        $_url_form .= '</form></div>';
        $_response_body = preg_replace('#\<\s*body(.*?)\>#si', "$0\n$_url_form" , $_response_body, 1);
    }
}

Code (markup):

depends where abouts you want it above the form or below

on bottom of the page etc

 

Good - looks interesting. No proxy owner would mind the forum owners profiting a bit, as long as they do too.

 

adbrites full page ads and their inline/text ads beat adsense for me

there was talk of them "disallowing" the intext ads, and indeed mine did mostly stop showing.

If you ad them and they work you are good to go

 

Feel free to sign up etc

I would rather the forum stayed ad free, and i wouldn't insult the proxy webmasters intelligence by jamming it full of ads

After all, arnt we all adblind

 

Sure.

We all may be adblind, but not blind to honest recommendations and referrals.

 

Also, for ads on the bottom of the page
( http://www.proxywhispers.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=128 )

Imagine if none of the proxy users were not adblind
We could retire

 

i neeeed socks5's

 

Hey guys. Please submit your proxy to my toplist. No link back is needed.

 

Hey guys I'm selling http://iWillSurf.com
Tell me if anyone is interested. Premium proxy!

 

Those aren't selling for a lot nowadays. How much does it make per day?

 

Does anyone use banner ads from Ebay's EPN affiliate program on their proxies?

I was wondering if I could use them on the proxified pages.

 

I don't use them, but I heard they don't pay a lot...

 

I seriously cannot make any money off of my traffic. I have over a thousand a day and growing yet still no money is coming in. I have tried everything from adbrite to other advertisers. Just meh
