Benefits of Running a Proxy
While some webmasters look down upon proxies, many are embracing them as a new way to make money. And the thing it, it is extremely easy to make money off of proxies.
Proxies are the ‘now’ type of websites. Unlike blogs and forums, where you work your way up to making money, proxies get traffic and clicks in a snap. This is because people generally use them the day you advertise them, so as soon as you submit to a few toplists expect a few thousand visitors.
However, it is not uncommon to get 50,000 visitors one day, and then 4 the next. Getting the visitors is not the hard part, keeping them is. You may need to spend a little money on advertising in top lists, but you will definitely earn it back no problem.
As mentioned in Legal Issues, proxies are not legal worldwide. Some countries ban the use of proxies. Make sure proxies are legal in your country before attempting to run one.
