The month of March 2008 is the best yet for my proxy network. My network is comprised of Unblock Youtube and Rasta Proxy.

Unblock Youtube continues to dominate for some great Google keywords and brought in nearly 30,000 visits to the main page and hundreds of thousands of proxy pageviews. I decided to remove the Adversal popunders because there was no way for me to set a frequency cap on them and they were annoying users. That fact is supported by the very steep increase in the number of pages surfed on the proxy as users were more likely to stick around longer when not bombarded by popunders.

Rasta Proxy is struggling and is only generating a few cents daily. The reason being poor adsense targeting/payouts on that page due to a bad domain name. I decided to monetize Rasta Proxy using only adbrite and have been unsuccessful in generating any meaningful traffic to the site. The top 3 Google ranking for Unblock Youtube is what creates nearly all of the revenue for that site and finding a domain with similar SE rank will not be an easy task, or a cheap one.

I have also been using the two proxies to promote my credit card comparison site as well as this blog and have gotten a decent number of clickthroughs from their respective text links. Afterall, it is free advertising.

Perhaps April 2008 will be the month that profit from my proxies tops $100.

Adsense – $38.68

Adbrite – $49.75

Adversal – Discontinued

Net Audio Ads – not fully functioning yet, but could generate another $25-50 per month.

Total Revenue- $88.43

Expenses – Less than $20

March 2008 Profit = $68.43
