    It is just a proxy list. (it is like a web directory, but all links appears all in one list, so the visitors can choose a (or more) proxy to use.

    Right now is a bit late, but I will check later about what you said.
    More relate backlinks will make your site rank batter in SE and this will bring you more traffic.
    The site will be promoted as soon as it gets more submitted links

    I was just wondering do you guys submit to lists that accpet .Tk and co.cc

    Can this affect our sites? I tend not to sumbit to lists that accept these domains but should I just be taking all the traffic I can ?

    Not usually, The odd one that gets lots of traffic maybe but a most get floods of free domains, dozens even hundreds a day so I don't bother with those. Each listing only gets 1 or 2 hits if it's lucky, a lot get none, plus the new ones push the old ones way back down the list pages so the chances of being seen at all are remote, let alone get any traffic.

    I think the traffic from proxy lists generally has dropped anyway lately, and a few lists have died the death altogether. If they have premium listings it can be worthwhile because they're always visible, not many people go through the older listings, once they're out of site they're out of mind.

    This is were the learning part comes in. To stay visible you have to buy premium listings if they're available, not all lists do them and not all will make back what you spend on them. The baron (proxy org) charges $250 a month for top spot on his list :eek: but that's a bit too rich for me I'm afraid, I'm just a cheapskate. I've sent you a little "something for the weekend" :D

    The Proxy Sites: http://www.theproxysites.com is a Proxy top site looking for new listings. It's PR2 (fluctuates to PR3) and 5 1/2 years old - good link juice.

    I'm about to delete some dormant listings so now is the time to get on the list as there's a chance you'll be on the front page. You can definitely be on the front page if you're using the tracking links.

    Any of you willing to sell a 300x250 advertisement on your proxies and proxy lists? I'd like a test run first, before I make an investment.
    PM me with the details of your UVs/day, your traffic distribution, and your expected price. I'd also like to know if you use geo-targeting or not

    Heads up to all proxy owners......

    Later today I will be deleting ALL proxies from my proxy list blog.

    So do not submit your proxies yet.

    Later, when I have done this, will let you all know.

    Thank you.

    Hi everyone,

    I've just finished writing an article for ProxyBlog.net - Are Pop Ups on Proxy Sites Worthwhile?

    It's pretty much a run down of the pros and cons of adding pop ups to your proxy websites. It also advises you on the best popup advertiser (in my experience) and some tips on how to sign up with them. Let me know if I missed anything or you think I should add something in.

    I don't particularly care for popups. Also, I feel my sites do fairly well with adsense as they are, if I put popups on there, I think it could actually have the reverse effect. I suppose if your proxy is new or a low earner, maybe its worth a try. Maybe "popunder" ads would be a better choice.

    Thanks for your input. My websites make the majority of earnings from the index page and some people may be happy to stick with that. However, I think it's fair to add on a limited amount of extra advertisements, like popups, to make best use of ad space. If you think about it, visitors spend most of their time on the proxy browser and these pages are using up mega amounts of server resources compared to a static homepage. I have used pop unders on every site I own for several years now and maintained a solid amount of traffic to those sites. I think the irritation to the end user is minimal because adversal has a 1 per x amount of time limitation and it's only one click to close the window. It is true that adversal is helpful on new sites, because that burst of traffic will add a little spike to your adversal earnings for one day but I always keep them on afterwards. I run some big sites with pop unders on, so I think your assertion it's only for "low earner" sites is wrong.

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone does proxy promotion? I have around 15-20 proxies that need promoting if you could drop me a PM with packages and pricings.

    Thanks
