    Good morning people of DP.

    I got 3 question from all gurus here in DP. I'm just curious.

    1.) Why proxy site and link directory site is the most popular for internet investors?

    2.) Which is more popular proxy or link directory?

    3.) How do you earn profits/money from both sites?


    Thank you and god bless DP.

    Because they are easy to make and easy to maintain (they're for lazy people :D). They're no secret money makers, the market for those sites are too saturated.

    1. They are for lazy people who are interested in earning some quick bucks.

    2. Both got their pros and cons but I think are equally popular.

    3. Look through a few pages and you should have an idea what they use to earn money.

    Proxy sites earn money through advertisements (adsense on landing page and popups on proxizied pages) while link directory can earn through advertisements and paid links.

    Proxy sites can be quite CPU and Bandwidth intensive and can eat into your profits while Link Directory sites are a lot lighter on the CPU and Bandwidth.

    Link Directory can be hosted on almost any server but most web hosts do not support proxy sites hosting because of the CPU/Bandwidth load and it may attract undesirables. Proxy sites usually have short lifespan when their outlived their usefulness and if they are blocked by too many sources, it will no longer be useful.
