anyone used http://www.adsrom.com/ ?

 

Its offficial - no you cant use infolinks on proxy proxified pages

Thank you for writing in.

You can add websites to your account which list proxy services however, Infolinks is not compatible with websites who offer proxy services.

Since www.beyondblocks.com offers proxy services it is not compatible with Infolinks. Infolinks cannot be used on proxy site, since the owner of each site that Infolinks appears on needs to approve it.

Is proxy.org approving any proxies these days? I submitted a few and got a reply within minutes

 

Exactly.

 

anyone who need free proxy hosting? i have some free space/bandwidth in my vps, and in return i will add ads in proxified pages. Of coz you can still put adsense or something else in the front page. PM me if interested.

 

I quit them long ago since I was seeing the same email for any new proxy I was submitting.

 

you give cpanel or any panel hosting or we just need to set your nameservers ?

 

Yes, lots. Are they .tk or .co.cc sites? That is the usual reason for turning down.

 

I will give kloxo control panel (similar to cpanel but free). i don't have any name servers but only an ip address to point to.

 

No they were .infos but I was hosting them on a free hosting. I submitted a few others that were hosted on my paid hosting and they were approved without any problem. I got a reply from admin.

I think they approve all proxies that are

1)hosted on a paid host
2)must have some content, description, a professional look etc.
3)should be a working proxy
4)no excessive popups and cpa ads etc.

 

I hope you took off the backlinks btw, no point keeping them on now

The baron doesn't like free proxy hosting, he thinks there's a 'quality issue', but given the others he lists that's a bit hypocritical imho. I have dozens on free proxy hosting (.net) and I'm happy enough with it. I use paid hosting as well, but I don't submit to proxy org as (I think) the traffic quality is very poor and not worth the bother tbh, most of what I get ends up being redirected.

<rant> What annoys me most is the deluge of free domains, especially the ones using subdomains, flooding the proxy lists now. For instance I see page after page of: bill55.forextips91.co.cc and kevin86.carinsurance43.tk etc. etc. that really spoils things imo. Once a domain is blocked so are all the subdomains, the listing sites are being swamped by these and the real genuine proxies don't get a look in, they just get pushed off the page. I see a lot of the lists now with little or no hits because I think the visitors are giving up on them, what were once good lists are dying the death and becoming useless. </rant>

 

Listing tens/hundreds/thousands of proxies hosted on the same IP address is not good for proxy users.

 

I'm seeing an appreciable decrease in traffic (a drop off of something like a third). After a bit of Googling it looks like there may be a "winter break" in the US at the moment.

Can anyone in the US confirm this?

 

It's holiday now on US.

 

It's called 'Presidents Day' apparently. It's to celebrate their first president, George Washington's birthday. (They'll need a big cake for all those candles)

 

I think this bad weather may have something to do with it. I live in Chicago and it has been pretty cold and snow'ie here for months. People just act diffent when this takes place. So when it is nice our traffic my rise.
Cheers

 

Haha....what's a proxy?

 

President's Day is just another lazy government employee don't wanna work day.

 

That’s nothing, Claxon Media shut down my account a year ago with $1500 in it. Gave me the usual "we have detected suspicious activity" bullshit.

Smowtion have also just done the same, it wasn't until I started questioning them that they told me it wasn't suspicious activity, they just don’t want proxies anymore.

When new ad companies start up they will take any sites they can get, after a couple of years they decide proxies are beneath them and hit you with the "suspicious activity" routine so they have an excuse to lock your account and not pay out.

 

And now AdBrite is pulling the plug too, it's official. They're going to lose a lot of business I'm sure, but they never did pay very well. It could be an own goal for them.
At least they warned us first tho', here's the email:

Looks like Adversal's about all that's left now then. I hate pop-unders but I still gotta make a few bucks.
