Hey all, I have an update regarding my proxy network. I have been promoting my whole network a lot lately, and one site is standing out the most. The best performing proxy in my network is TheBlueProxy. This proxy is getting an INSANE amount of traffic. It’s weird because I promoted every proxy exactly the same, and some are doing great, and some are doing pretty terrible. I think it has something to do with the domain, but I could be wrong. Anyways here is a screen shot of the traffic its got so far in decemeber.

proxy stats

It’s really amazing! It has gotten over 1.6 million pages! Its crazy.

I bought a couple new domains with a sale name.com recently had. I bought 2 that relate to proxies, so hopefully I’ll get those setup in the new year. With those 2 proxies I am going to go about promoting them differently. With those 2 im going to use a lot more social community sites, like facebook and myspace.

We’ll see how that goes.

K back in my highschool days I ran a couple proxies to bypass the filter thing they had in place so you couldnt go to myspace, facebook and all of those flash games websites. While I only really ran them for friends and myself, I did make some money off of them from putting some ads on them. After I gradutuated I pretty much forgot about them, the domains expired… and they were pretty much lost forever.

Recently I had an idea. Dude I made money off of those. So I found out, I had 2-3 domains that were sitting there doing nothing… pointing to nameservers that dont even exist on the interwebs. So I though, dude, im gonna sign up for some cheap-o vps, load up those domains, and fire up a small proxy network.

So it went pretty good. I started with promoting 2 domains I setup, and those are getting some steady traffic. Its so easy to promote proxies. People are literally begging for them. Check out Yahoo! Answers, there are a shitload of teenagers on there begging for proxies to unblock myspace and facebook.

Ive expanded from the inital 2 proxy sites to about 9 now. Some are just domains that need to be setup, but they will be wicked sweet proxies soon enough :D

Im monetizing them with Adbrite, and Widgetbucks so far. Ive actually sold a banner advertisement on one of them already :) $5 for 1 month. That paid for the domain 5 times over lol I love .info domains. $0.99 is amazing for a domain.

So far i’ve made $1.32 from Adbrite, and $0.19 from Widgetbucks :D Thats not too bad for 2 days of operation, and only from 2 proxies.
