June was a modest month for my proxy websites with profits slowly declining into the summer. I decided to give myself more motivation to drive my earnings up. From now on I’ll try and give a break down of each month’s proxy earnings on this blog.
I’m hearing lots of proxy webmasters are increasingly struggling with low profits. I’ve personally found with proxies its always been possible to achieve profit, you just have to get more creative and work harder for the payoff. I also found that its a great time to start proxy sites in summer so you’re all set to get traffic in the winter months.
I’m listing the ad companies below by the earnings I achieved in June, starting from highest to lowest.
Adsense - http://www.google.com/adsense
Earnings: $505.96
Freedom of Ads - http://www.freedomofads.com
Earnings: $110.11
Canep Media - http://www.canepmedia.com
Earnings: $87.94
Mediashakers - http://www.mediashakers.com
Earnings: $52.54
Hide My IP - http://www.hidemyip.com/
Earnings: $14.98
Adversal - http://www.adversal.com
Earnings: $4.14
Total Earnings: $775.67
Overall web proxies are still a great niche to be in, however it takes a lot of trial and error to create good revenue streams. I am still sitting on a vast array of untapped proxy resources and plan to develop them over the coming months. I am currently tweaking my server configurations to see if I cant squeeze more traffic out of them and results look promising so far.

Great to hear your input and good job on this Blog.
I want to make you and your readers aware of the iDent ad by Mediashakers.com which I think would go great on many Proxy sites.
What we did is build a new ad unit that is quite “smart”.
It is quite simple - When a user enters your site we will identify their screen resolution and monitor size, if there is sufficient room we will insert an additional 120×600 on the side that will scroll down with the user.
Our beta testing has shown that CTR is increased by more than 20% on these units and some publishers have doubled their income. You should give this a try and let iDentAds increase your immediate income! For an example please click

Important: Please make sure your screen resolution is at a min 1024×768 and that the new window is maximized.

Hello,
How Much Freedomofads pay for banner cpm and popup cpm ??
October 13th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Mike, last month FreedomOfAds paid me $0.11 per 1,000 impressions, this month is is currently $0.08. This covers a broad range of different traffic sources with the bulk of traffic from the US/UK.

Mediashakers.com has lots of Proxy publishers making more than $0.11 CPM. Depends on the source of traffic and response. Those publishers that run a popunder 1 per person per 24 hours make much more..
I suggest you guys give it a shot…..
