Proxy traffic

[so.ray2000]

Hi guys,

I always see proxy sites dotted around DP and they seem to get traffic almost instantaneously when they are set up. What techniques do people use to generate that traffic?

Thanks for your tips

[Mr.Bill]

Well the best method to get that instant burst is newsletters and yahoo , google proxy groups. If you haven't created one of these groups then just pay the fee some of the folks charge to advertise on theres. Search for proxy groups and advertise it. Yahoo answers does alright. However only a few will do well during the summer as we have a different target audience then most proxy owners. So summer is an ideal time for owners of proxy sites which have been blocked by the filtering systems can do some SEO on them and keep them alive.

If you use the groups make sure you ask where 80%+ of there traffic comes from.

A lot of that traffic is "auto generated". They set a bot to generate a lot of "traffic" that looks organic and real, but usually isn't. There are a lot of doctored web stats for proxy sites.

[Locomotive]

Yes and that auto generated traffic is being sold for others and then you pay for the advertising on the such kind web sites. I think if you you want to learn about such not honest way better to visit DP forums. I think that natural traffic - saves your sources and make your developing more organic.

So... Whats the benefit now of having non-organic traffic? That are made from auto-generated bot?

Proxy sites suck. I had a fairly popular one about a year ago and all it did was eat bandwidth, tax my server resources, and provide marginal returns. Also, if you are thinking of starting up, consider the competition...HUGE!

I disagree - theres a market for new proxies as older ones are always getting blocked.
