Why do people put the word "proxy" in their proxy domains?

    Isn't the point is to not let people know you're using a proxy. It's like saying go to this porn site called porn-on-a-stick.com . Nobody will know it's a proxy site. Sheesh! Come on people! USE THAT CHROME DOME!!

    probably old domains or they haven't read that those words are filtered by sysadmins

    As of now, most of the proxy owners will not go for domains having "proxy" in it... So I agree with Pinoguin that they are old domains... :D

    Not true at all - there are considerable advantages of having proxy in the domain in some instances.
    The main plus is SEO. Not everyone is bothered about this, but for some people it provides them with some serious traffic. Not all domains with proxy in the domain get instantly banned either, and users tend to find them more memorable.
    I tend to register a mixture of domains (including proxy, and without proxy) and have found little difference in traffic/revenue.

    Anyone targeting users in this side of the world (Middle East) with proxy in their name is going to get banned, instantly.

    I've had extreme problems getting proxy templates/finding proxies in the past because of this.

    I would say the general purpose is for SEO and branding.

    That's why I've set up http://www.terrysproxylist.com that way people can still find or search for a list of proxies. Just like Proxy.org But, the actual proxy wouldn't have "proxy" in the domain name.

    The "Word Phrase Index Exceeded" filter one that counts the word proxy :(

    but no one will be able to look at that list though because you have "proxy in the name" meaning it will be filtered too. rofl :D

    They can check your site at home though. Write down some URL's, then visit them on their filtered networks.

    So its still okay :)

    It's a new invention called "KEYWORDS". You've been living in a cave, meatsack, so you've probably never heard of it.
