Why do I see so many people making proxy sites nowadays?

    Are they highly profitable or something like that?

    Just I see loads of people coming out with new proxy sites every day, and most look and do the exact same thing, they have nothing making them better than their competition.

    I was just wondering why people are making them so much?

    Thanks,
    TS

    If advertised correctly, they can be a source of easy money. :)

    Yeah, but any site advertised correctly can be a source of money.

    Guess with a proxy you don't need to update anything though, so thats a plus.

    1. Its easier to manage it. So, easy money.

    2. Proxy sites get banned by networks/schools etc. after they are noticed. So, people are always looking for new ones. Thats why webmasters have to provide them same content on different domain.

    Because of the following:

    2. Easy to manage
    3. Easy to earn from various soruces
    4. Easy to sell at DP Sites section :p

    They're easy to monetize - and re-sell at a later date for profit.

    It can be considered as an easy money. You don't need to update them but they do consume a lot of bandwidth. Proxy sites have a small age and so, new sites keep popping up.

    Everyone needs proxies, there is always demand for them at work places, and especially schools. I had my proxy up for about 2 weeks and made an easy $200 through free advertising. They are very good for easy to get money. but you gotta have the right host for it otherwise it will go nowhere if it is constantly going down or bandwith running out.

    This market is still growing strong? Proxies have been popping out since months months ago (has it been a full year now?)
