Is it illegal to run proxy sites?
No in general, one of the only circumstances it could become illegal is if you monitor your server logs and see people visiting inappropriate content. If you decide to monitor your traffic you must report any illegal activity that you see and ultimately your server may be seized by law enforcement in their investigations. The simply solution to this is either to not monitor your logs or turn off your server logging.
Can I use adsense on my web proxy?
Yes you can, as long as your website follows the adsense terms and conditions. You are only allowed to place it on your homepage. You are not allowed to place adsense on “proxied” pages because you do not own the content and you will be banned from the adsense program if you do this.
Will a proxy website work on shared hosting?
I would never recommend that proxy webmasters use anything less than a dedicated server. Some web hosts may initially support your proxy website but because of the vast amount of resources that proxy scripts consume it isnt fair to the other users of the server. If you are draining all the server resources then inevitably your web host will have to cut you off. You should thoroughly read through the terms and conditions of any new host you plan to use. It may seem like a large cost of the proxy business but if you can break even on a dedicated server then you are well on your way to success.
Do proxy sites make money?
Yes! In my time I have earnt thousands of dollars from proxy websites. The market is extremely saturated right now but if you are creative and you can offer something unique, its always possible to grab a bit of the action.
Proxy Builder is proud to announce the release of our first free proxy layout, we plan to build up a collection of freely available proxy site templates. Our superb proxy theme comes integrated with the Zelune Proxy script. You must keep the sponsored links in the footer to use this template.

I call myself an “insider” because I run a fairly successful proxy business. For me it is currently a hobby I aim to progress in, I maintain Venture Fox Ltd which offers a wide selection of proxy resources. I have had many turbulent times in the proxy business, times where I’ve lost interest and times when my websites have been left on autopilot it for months. It can be hard to find the motivation but I have found that building high quality proxy websites makes them withstand the test of time, whatever I’m doing!
Heres some key elements that can be added on your proxy websites to build extra traffic, you may find only adding certain elements works best for you. There are a variety of factors in running a successful proxy website, if you are simply providing slow service or you have a dismal template then you are already at a disadvantage.
Unique Content
I find the most important element to making a high quality proxy website is unique content. You should at least take the time out to write a short paragraph on what your proxy service offers. If you really want to increase search engine positioning then build up a bit more content including your targeted keywords.
Quick Links
It can be a good idea to add “quick links” to your website, visitors can find it useful to quickly visit proxied pages for popular websites. Some websites you may like to include are Google, Myspace, Yahoo, Facebook, Bebo, Digg, Fark but make sure your web proxy is compatible with them.
Proxy Topsite Buttons
I personally have found proxy topsites a useful tool in overall success. They can offer targeted inbound link titles while ranking for lots of high traffic and long-tail keywords. If you get on the front page you can benefit from a bit of extra traffic on good topsites. I am of course biased because I run three of my own: Proxy Topsite, Web Proxies and Elite Proxies Just remember over time some may need to be removed if they go offline, I’m happy to say mine have been running smoothly for 8 months.
Proxy Network Links
If you have any other proxy websites you may wish to create a variety of 2-way and 3-way link exchanges between each of your proxy sites. This can be an effective way of increasing visitors and users may even begin using a different web proxy as others are blocked.
