A few months back I created a Google Groups mailing list to generate a new source of free traffic. Just imagine having your own subscriber base that could bring you instant, interested and high quality traffic with a few clicks. Sometimes it can be easy to forget that companies out there concentrate a large amount of money in creating a database of so-called bad websites
As a proxy webmaster you should always be seeking out fresh users. This means launching new proxy websites and getting them out to the widest audience before they are blocked. There is a typical pattern in proxy website traffic, you’ll receive peak traffic at the start and you want to make the most of the initial traffic surge.
The most amazing part is it’s free to make and requires just two minutes of work a day to keep going. Alternatively you can pay someone, say $20 per month, to post to the list every day. Over time you can get back this investment by offering to post people’s proxies for a fee. You can also sell the mailing list as a whole to get some extra cash when you’re finished.
There are many tools that can be used to create a mailing list, check out the ones below and see which suits you best.
I decided to go with Google Groups for my mailing list, it has all the flexibility, reliability and speed that I needed. It’s free aswell so there are absolutely no start up costs, just add the signup form to your sites and start getting subscribers.
I contemplated going with aweber and there are alot of perks to using this system. It is an outsourced system so all the email signups are stored on the aweber database. I believe you can set it up so that everything appears to reside and function on your server. It may be useful if you want to set up an independent mailing list site, there is a downside however - it is a paid service.
PHP/CGI/ASP Mailing List Scripts
I’d keep well away from any scripts that have to be setup on your server. You are setting yourself up for a whole swathe of privacy, security and spam concerns. As your subscriber base grows your mailing list will become a target for malicious people who want to get those email addresses. Not only will the mailing list become a target but your whole hosting server could come under attack. There is big money to be made in spam and not many people have the resources to fight it.
