    Help required please for setting up a proxy site as this is the 1st time i have wanted to own one,so i am looking at the zelune script and looking to add a simple header and use Adbrite for revenue does this sound like a good combination.Another thing i have looking for is at this stage is basic hosting can someone guide us on this one and a rough price guide for a yearly package ????

    Where do you sell text links? I haven't seen many takers for proxy links, maybe i'm looking at the wrong places?

    I'd like to milk the PR of my proxies as well ;)

    Go with Glype script instead. Use Adsense for the homepage if you aren't too scared. The hosting section on DP is a good place to look for proxy hosting deals. You may want to choose a host that best offers what you want. All of them have different offers.

    Why should someone be scared to run Adsense on the front page? Is there something I don't know about Glype? I've been running AdSense on my proxies (all running PHProxy) and I've had no problems thus far...

    Also, I've been using PHProxy for the past year+ and I've definitely had more success with some templates over others... What Glype templates have you guys had the most luck with?

    Tech Entrance is great proxy hosting. I've been using them for a couple of months and haven't had any problems with them. I think their plans start out at 7.95 a month.

    Nothing to do with Glype. Some people feel that putting Adsense on proxies leads to getting your account banned. Invalid clicks and stuff.

    Is it a good idea to keep a blocked proxy? build a toplist on it? or maybe a proxy blog?

    Well euhm... I won't do that... since if it's blocked you won't have a lot of people on it..
    Just get the best out of it, and add them to +125 proxy lists (see sign with prox promotion, I can do it for you)
    And than hope on the best you can get from them..

    In my experience, as long as you keep AdSense on the main page (and don't put it on the proxified pages) you'll be fine. I suppose not everyone has been as lucky though.

    i was wondering how much price should i quote for my network making approximately $500/month
    its submitted on 100+ toplists and i sent all the proxies to 200,000 members on google groups today

    they can run for atleast next 2-3 months on autopilot and revenue for following 1 month is obvoiusely going to rise due to google groups submission

    only one expense is there which is $55 hosting expense

    please give some suggestions regarding quoting the price


    EDIT : i forgot to mention there's a special promotion also to be done by aquarez only for all the proxies :D

    I've always wondered if this is becuase people visit your proxy threw other proxies. So your ads get loaded threw the proxies which are invalid.

    Any ideas on how this can be prevented other than by blocking proxies?

    Yes true :)
    And now I started an even bigger action with much more promotion tools :)
    But yeah, I have too much time :p

    BTW Adversal earnings are getting higher in my eyes... or is it just me? :)

    If its a good enough domain go for it. As there isnt a proxy list that isnt blocked so that wouldnt matter in the least.

    Who do so many proxy sites redirect back to the home page when you try to browse through them?
