DigitalORDER » Proxies http://digitalorder.org "Lies tell truth when Men fail too." Sun, 11 May 2008 03:24:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 en WebProxyTalk.com has launched! http://digitalorder.org/2007/11/17/webproxytalkcom-has-launched/ http://digitalorder.org/2007/11/17/webproxytalkcom-has-launched/#comments Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:52:20 +0000 Jacob http://digitalorder.org/2007/11/17/webproxytalkcom-has-launched/ I decided at the end of october to spend a little more time in the area that made me the most money, Proxies.  A little time grew into most of my time and quite a bit more proxy sites.  But the most exciting launch of late isn’t a proxy but a forum. The forum is called WebProxyTalk and will be my first forum and so far its going good.

What is WebProxyTalk.com?

Webproxytalk.com is a forum for proxy owners, developers, hosts and pretty much anyone who deals with proxies on a regular basis. Before WebProxyTalk if you wanted to find quality proxy hosts, specific script mods or even a good theme you would have to browse and ask around on a few general webmaster forums primarily within a single post on DP. Now all those resources are located in one central location at Web Proxy Talk.

Being an Admin is “different”

The forum has been live for a week now and in that brief period of posting as an admin, Ive learned people hold admins to unbelievabley high standards. If I don’t know something I will tell you “I don’t know”. People can’t believe you(Mr.Admin) don’t know everything just on the basis that you set up a forum on the subject. So thats taking some getting used too and forcing me to learn about every little detail related to my forums niche.

What do you talk about on webproxytalk.com?
Heres a sampling of a few of my favorite threads so far…..

  1. Are Proxies and thus proxy owners Immoral?
  2. Tips to run a succesful newsletter
  3. How do you promote?
  4. Freebies are always good

Special Feature

I am working on compiling a resource page for proxy owners containing themes, mods maybe some ebooks. So if you are good designing, scripting or have written a good ebook please leave a comment so I can contact you and we can work out a deal.

There are alot of ways to advertise your proxy and since the question asked how Im just going to list them and answer which is the best in a later question.

  • their are lists like the ones proxy.org provides
  • Optimising the proxy to display well in search engines
  • Proxy Directories like sweetproxies or proxiestoday
  • Or you can advertise with sites like stumbleupon.
  • also myspace and google groups bulletins work well

i’ll like to see a real (when i say real i mean facts) post about free traffic sources.

Now when I first heard about this I was a bit skeptical since Ive used Adwords before and its not always the higher bid that is displayed first now that they added landing page quality into the mix but I gave it a go with my hiddenpenguin proxy.  Before the change I had text links above the url as well as a 160×600 sidebar of adsense that almost never got clicked, So I wouldnt be loosing much if this didnt pan out.  And I am happy to say in the 24 hours Ive made the change Ive gotten about the same amount of clicks and yet Ive made more.  Im going to let it run like it is currently for a week just to make sure its consistent and then try out having only one 250×250 ad.

Please share your experiences if youve tried using less ads to earn more.

For this post we’re going to assume you know how to build and market a proxy So we can get right into How to monetize a proxy. Proxies are unique in that with very little work and marketing they not only have a front page that gets a lot of unique traffic but also a backend that gets forum like page views. So to properly monetize a proxy one has to take advantage of the large amount of unique traffic as well as all the users that look past the front page ads and actually uses the proxy and return every day to use it.
