Thank god I didn't sell this here for $75 :thumbup:

Here are the traffic stats which are pretty interesting. Remember, I've done no real work on this since I set it up and submitted it to a few topsites that same day.



and here's the money it makes on YPN so far since I've started putting the ads up:


Anyway, it's not bad. I'm gonna see if I can make more money from it before everything collapses :yes:

Nice job, though it's good you realize that things could potentially collapse if you get too big.

Same thing happened to my proxy... I submitted it to some top sites, and word of mouth made the traffic raise up to 2k uniques / day. It was pretty interesting.

Good job on maintaining the site in that time and being able to keep it although you didn't really want it. The website may now be able to bring in even more revenue

I'm pretty excited about that. If I put some time into it, I wonder how much I can really make. Seriously though, hehe, I've never really touched this :thumbup:

Mmm.. probably for a few more months. Depends if it's able to keep making me money. I might sell it earlier if I have to though, not sure yet.

Too many readily available now! I would launch a proxy with maybe tab features for image upload etc, try and offer something slightly better/different than the 50million other proxy sites!

I have a great idea for a proxy site, but not enough time to build it. Pity.

Recently, I've taken a look at quite a couple of proxies. The majority of them looks like crap. I'm not sure if the market is oversaturrated. There's always room for a good site in every market or niche.

The 50 million are all pretty much the exact same thing though - ugly with the same old boring thing.

I was thinking about playing around with some fancy "Web 2.0" concept for proxies, if only to sell the script

That's good! How much bandwidth does your proxy website take up? I'm looking forward to launching a proxy website too, but I'm not sure how much bandwidth I will need.

That's still not that much, well I have 1tb of bandwidth so it wouldn't hurt me much. Good job with the site.

Our new proxy takes more ressources than we thought. If you plan on starting up a proxy site, be sure you have a good server. A entry server with 512megs RAM and 100GB transfer won't cut it, I'm afraid...

How is it on server resources cpu usage?

This is the one thing holding me back from starting my proxy yet. Anyone have more info on how much cpu phproxy really hogs? ive only heard this from people so far, havent seen it yet.

I've been testing AdSense on this proxy for the past few days and it doesn't perform as well as YPN so I'm gonna switch back.
