    mine was just above 9 for yesterday and its 58 cents since half day passed


    seems it fluctuates highly on weekends


    hope its just because of maintaince still $6 is good if you had $8 yesterday


    Something is pretty strange that i got 4000+ pageviews and no clicks on 1 of my proxies, don't know whats happening

    I totally agree, I get at least 40-50 submissions a day from hopefuls who either dont care about the submission rules or don't bother to read them.

    I don't have the problem of dealing with people who don't link back as it isn't a requirement for A-Z Proxies.

    I have had to deal with the 15+ proxies that get submitted and then redirect to a single domain. I managed to put together a script that detects these and removes them from the list.

    It is difficult to keep the list clean and I don't claim to have achieved it yet with A-Z... but it was one of the main reasons I started the site. tech-faq.com was always filled up with spammers sites and proxy.org was full of dead sites. So my goal is and always has been to build a list of functional proxies.

    It is hard work even for a programmer, but I will get there eventually. The biggest problem is dealing with the dropped domains as not all registrars provide expiry dates in the whois records for domain names. So it requires a lot of rechecking.

    Another thing is to read people still bragging about the two proxy site locations. When if you just mess around and try proxy 0rg and input a url to visit and try that 10 times and odds are you will half that are not proxy sites.

    Yeah I butcher the url as I am sick of adding the correct url and helping that site out more ;)

    Would be cool if this info could be shared :)

    That is one of the ways I guage how well I am performing. If you hit that site and visit 50 proxies you were pretty much guaranteed that 50% would fail, if not more. This has reduced now that he only shows a portion of his database on the homepage but it is still very poor.

    I then run the same test on my own site to see how many failures I get, obviously the fewer the better but the aim is to get it down to zero. If I get fewer failures than the other site then I consider myself to be doing a better job.... but then again, he does rely on volunteers despite the huge amounts that he charges :rolleyes:

    Unfortunately I cannot share this for two reasons.

    The first is that I don't want it to be made public which could potentially allow the people who use this practice to find other ways to deceive my system.

    The second is that it is written as part of the A-Z Proxies Bot which is a large and complex script which I can't give away for obvious reasons.

    The way it is done is quite simple, you just need to look at the various methods which can be used to redirect a site to another and then script something which can check these methods to see if they exist. Any decent programmer would be able to develop this for you.

    Sorry guys, I don't mind helping out, I have written a lot of scripts and mods which I have given away on this forum... but I can't give away my primary system which makes my list function.

    I for one rarely read the requirements when submitting a site to a proxy list

    Lets be realistic here, when you got a list of 100+ sites to submit to, theres no time to read crap, its faster to just blast of the submissions if it gets rejected it gets rejected if not all is good
