The Proxy Discussion Thread

Yes you can by integrate the proxy into your current website.
Let say,you can put your proxy at sub directory such as www.yoursite.com/proxy

 

Good theme not considering the scrolling backlinks thing. But I'm not sure how much difference the theme will make to revenues.

Maybe you could handout a few [many] test copies to people here. 1 month free, pay 5$ if you want to keep after that. Could help you get more sales as well.

That sucks especially since the initial few days are often big earners.

 

Probably there are only 2 good shared proxy hosts at the moment :

http://techentrance.com

http://monsterprox.com

 

Another good proxy host is this

http://www.lacehost.com

It has been providing good service so far.

 

I plan to invest some money in proxy business and to start my own small proxy network from scratch. I have some basic knowledge on how to setup proxy site, advertise etc, but I don't know answer to one question . Why people sell their proxy networks after some time, if they actually earn much? Is there some catch or??

Also I ll be free to ask, if somebody want to be my mentor

Suddenly traffic can go away so they will lose money
OR
Hosting costs too much for them
OR
They can't handle the proxies no more
OR
They're done with proxies (It get's boring after a while)
OR
They need money for another project

Etc.. plenty of reasons to stop

Yes. But aren't that reasons little stupid?
Anyway, do you suggest me to start my own proxy network? Can it make money nowadays?

I keep my opinion, proxies are good when are fresh after 1 week or less you can build another and sell the old one because is blocked in most schools probably or your host was down few hours, is too slow and you lost most of the traffic. Obviously are sold because are not doing so great in 99 % of the situations, but is only my opinion.

 

they can't be blocked in most schools in 1 week i assure you 2-3 years old proxies are still working in many schools of the world - world is larger than you think

 

Hey bluemouse, I added my site to your proxy rotator ..hope i can get some hits from your place..all my advertising went in vain cause I lost most of my traffic because of some weird error that popped up when people used myspace. But my CTR is improving XD

 

the scrolling backlinks are easily removable.

 

you will get traffic. not impressive because the service is still new but you will notice daily hits coming from this service I assure you

 

by the way if any of you have found a theme you want to use on your glype proxy I will convert it for you

how are proxies doin for you guys in the year 2009?

seems there has been a great downfall in adsense earnings from proxies in this new year

 

Yes absolutely, and the chance for returning visitors from that traffic source is beeing slaughtered when the proxy is down the second day.

I'm considering TMZ Hosting. I've heard very much good about them, and I need 24/7 competent support. Hopefully they can give me that.

MonsterProx is unknown to me.. Any reviews?

 

I left TMZ Proxy Server 3 after 2 weeks or so, for Monsterprox because was too slow, very hard to browse with the proxy from my location or in general but yes, their support was fast. About Monsterprox i can't comment right now. That's all i can say,

 

Ive been making more every day than the previous day for 2 weeks since my first site has been up

Started at about 50-80 cents/day the first few days it was up

And yes, do expect a lot of traffic decreases, i was riding 4k uniques a day for THE FIRST 3 DAYS then it dropped and is steady around 750

My directory that I started yesterday gets abot 750/day of people looking for proxies to go to, check my sig and you can add yours

 

I think i lost another proxy battle , really don't understand where your traffic ( in general ) is coming from, my proxies ( i release 1 everyday from monday to friday for now...) probably not all blocked but are dying in max. 1 week. ) Used glype 1.0 with Youtube and 1 Surrogafier, No users, no dinero, One of them, the one i submitted to around 100 toplists and proxy lists maybe more didn't made at least 1 $. The eCPM became terrible, around 0,25 $. Adbrite impressions also dropped to the lowest level ever.

I blocked even India, and most countries from Asia like Indonesia, Philippines, Japan and still the same.

Ok, some will think i'm a fool, i only think i don't see what i missed...

 

Hello,
I'm currently one of the support givers from TMZHosting, and I can guarantee all of our staff members are approved after a difficult test.

So you can get the best support you can imagine mate

We also bought a new server with superbe speed and uptime!

Which is why quality over quantity is important here.
Rather than creating a new one each day, why not focusing on driving traffic to the existing one. You can't just say yours is blocked. There is 93983294123 schools and don't ever think they're all blocking you.

In the good sense, if you have big server, setup a couple of cgi proxy and chain them. Good if you're thinking to do a paid proxies.
