Hey all,

I know that there are a lot of people who runs proxies here, including myself. I think it would be great to share each other's information as learn some tips on the way for a successful proxy. I sold my network a few months ago for good $XXX and am now restarting the business.

There is ALWAYS demand for proxies.

Even sharing revenue, or that you want a small review on your new proxy, or even updates about what you have done to increase traffic.

Anywhoo, here's some of my tips.

[1] Submit to topsites, as many as you can. I know that people who look for proxies go on topsites, and target especially new ones. Most proxy topsites are run on Aardvark PHP, and as a template creator for the guy who runs it, I know it pretty well. Most topsites have a link that is "ssi.php". For example, topsitedomain.com/ssi.php - A lot of the top proxy topsites have this on, so you can see the latest 20 topsites submitted. Then they post it on blogs [Iran/Middle East/Asian blogs] and from there, traffic goes crazy

[2] Do not have a domain with the word 'proxy' in it. When I buy domains, I move away from them. Why? Because that is the number one word that filters block. "Proxies" is usually blocked as well

[3] Ads that blend are better, and before it was banned, images of attractive females next to them But that is no longer allowed. So keep your ads blending in well

[4] Create a network. Sooner or later, your proxy will be blocked. Solution? Start another one. Then that gets blocked, so start another one. Thus, a network starts to form. After a while, you will be very $$$ but be careful about overloads on the server

[5] Bandwidth code - Attached is a code you add (Made by Billy Connite) to your script (PHProxy) to minimise bandwidth and hotlinking. It saves you a lot of $$$ and downtime. Simply copy and paste the mod code into your index.php page, just below the '<?php' at the top of the page.

I have another million things to add, but what do you have to share?

I have never thought of making $ this way. What is the setup cost usually?

What about infrastructure. Don't you have to set up multiple servers?

Interesting

I would love to learn more about this myself. I often use proxies (private) but never really in the "proactive" sense.

I know that there are a lot of people who runs proxies here, including myself. I think it would be great to share each other's information as learn some tips on the way for a successful proxy. I think PH Proxy needs a MySpace fix to post bulletins and comments. Without these fix, PH Proxy will die.
