Web Proxy Blog

Now then, there are many routes you can take when picking proxy domains believe it or not and we are going to look at them.

Route 1

Route 1 is an option few people tend to take; it’s basically getting quality domains that are brandable (.com’s) and working hard to market them and optimise them in order to get them well established and earning good money individually. An example of this is the Privax network which has proxies such as ‘BoratProxy’ and ‘HideMyAss’ which are very brandable and easy for people to remember. Note that .com’s are more expensive then some of the other extensions so keep your budget in mind

Route 2

Route2 is often taken by people who just have a bunch of random domains lying around and want to monetize them so decide to setup a proxy in their words too ‘make a few bucks’. This often includes domains like LLLL (letters) in extensions like .com and .net and these domains are often unpronounceable. People like this tend not too show much interest in their proxies and it certainly isn’t easy for people to remember the name without Bookmarking the site so bare that in mind if you are serious about your proxy venture.

Route 3

Route3 is either used by people who are very clever and know that mass in numbers works well with proxies and can drive big traffic or people who are cheap (or have a low budget) and are just testing the water. You guessed it, I’m talking about the .info extension. People register hundreds of these things, and if you can get them all setup and with a bit of traffic to each you should be able to easily cover the cost of the hosting that hosts them all!

Route 4

Route4 is the experimental route, get any type of domain, .com, .info, .net it doesn’t really matter, have some brandable and have some spammy looking domains. As long as they are making money who cares?

OK so some of these routes may look a little stereotypical but there are people who just concentrate on a certain route hence why there were mentioned here and hopefully it gives you a good idea of the options you have available to you. Of course it’s not just the proxy extension that you have to think about but the actual name itself which we look at briefly on the following page. By all means follow the route you feel will bring you the most money no matter whether people think it’s spammy or not, do proxy users care? Well that’s something you’ll find out with your own testing and tweaking to see what works best for you so that you can replicate it.
