Kiloserve Proxy Hosting

I’ll go into SEO later on so bare with me for a while. In my last two posts I explained how to advertise your proxy through toplists and social media, yet I am not convinced about the effectiveness of these two methods. I have tried both and one of them had a negative effect.

I paid someone to submit my proxies to 100 toplists and once I added the back-link code on my proxies I noticed a drop of traffic. Some 20% of the traffic I got on this proxy simply disappeared. I think the reason was the slow loading of the index proxy page which was packed with all those toplists logos, buttons etc. I promptly removed the code and my traffic recovered in a couple of days. I find that 99% of toplists only cause trouble while there are a few if them that actually bring traffic. I somehow got on some of these which kept sending me consistent traffic day after day.

The other problem is the type of traffic they bring: lets face it, Middle East traffic does not bring any revenue. North American, European and Australian traffic is high quality. Why? Simple because it converts to sales for Google Ads advertisers. I am not saying go block all Middle Eastern traffic. You do need some of that to build up momentum. Two of my proxies became PR3 with mostly Iranian traffic and they consistently brought good revenue because they attracted good quality traffic.

Social media (Stumble, Digg etc) is a different story. As far as proxies is concerned they help in two ways:

1. To get it indexed quickly
2. To bring a surge in traffic and build up momentum

Getting indexed is very important for SEO (see below) and getting a surge of traffic is always good to build momentum and attract more traffic.

Which brings us to Search Engine Optimization. In simple words for proxies this means optimizing your its content and html to make it easy to find when someone is searching for a proxy through a search engine. This includes doing keyword research, adding meta-tags, title-tags, and getting back-links to your proxy.

This kind of advertising/promotion is medium to long term but it will bring the best results because the highest quality traffic comes from search engines. Proxies which receive traffic from search engines enjoy high revenues.

There is an excellent article on a new proxy forum Clickalite which explains in simple words what SEO is and what to do to achieve higher traffic and revenues.
