Web Proxy Blog

The facts:

This was money generated from only one of our four (currently) proxy sites

• This was generated with less than 10 clicks (cant say how many exactly)
• This was generated with less than 100 impressions (cant say how many exactly)

1 day = 1 dollar. Do you have a proxy?

What weve learnt already:

• Proxy users dont click on any old ads believe it or not
• Theres no reason to pay for topsites and in fact Im not sure if theres any reason to use them all together
• You can build proxy traffic just via posting on forums with your signature link
• You need to keep your proxy fast and popup free in order for people to keep using it
• Proxies get blocked so people create new ones all the time so dont think its too late to start in the industry

Well, we did say we would hold nothing back?

This is from our http Proxy empaya.com. Not bad for just setting it up really. 116 visits from proxy.org and visits from the likes of DigitalPoint.com and other forums.

Hopefully this will end the day with over a dollar on that site, I would love to say impressions but Im pretty sure its illegal in terms of Google Adsense’s TOS but the impressions were very slightly more than the cents in earnings. So for little traffic today thats big earnings. Its do-able.

What? I hear you say in a puzzled look, or Why? for some of you. But I really think you should 301 redirect the non-www (http://empaya.com) version of your proxy to the www version (http://www.empaya.com). If you plan on creating proxies just to sell then it may not be worth doing so, but if you are serious about proxies and owning them yourself and building up your network then you should consider tasks which revolve around Search Engine Optimisation and building traffic to your proxy websites via search engines. So then why would we want to redirect the non-www version of our site to the www version?

• Remove the issue of duplicate pages, as both pages will be exactly the same
• Spread the power of all that ‘link love’ to one place
• Pass PR better (Important if you plan to sell sites)

So, how do you do it?

Firstly you need to open up a text editor and add this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Remember to change domain.com with your actual domain. Save the file as .htaccess (dont forget the .) and upload the file to your site root. Voila youve now redirected your non-www version of your site to the www version. If this isnt working for you just put up in the comments and well help resolve the issue.
