google-adsense-girlIn the how to make money from your free hosting service post, I told you there are many ways to generate revenue to offset your cost. Google AdSense is the first choice of many free hosting providers, including free web proxy webmasters.

Adsense usually can generate reasonable revenues for your free web proxy service. As Google does not require minimum traffic, and international traffic is also accepted, you can use Adsense from the beginning. As mentioned in the checklist for free hosting providers, it is unlikely to get profit for the first a few months. So, set an reasonable expectation from Adsesne, and prepare other advertisement as well to fill your ad space.

It is important to go through the guidelines of Adsense before you place ads on your site. Most free web proxy webmasters may just skip the reading. If you do not follow the rules set by Google, the consequence can be severe: your account is terminated and you are banned from Adsense.

It does not need a rocket scientist to understand the Adsense guidelines, but sometimes some webmasters may get confused, and interpret them wrongly.

So, I summarize the common mistakes made by free web proxy webmasters on Google Adsense placement. You need follow these five rules to keep your Adsense account safe.

Do not placed Adsense on proxified pages. You can only place Adsense units on pages in which you know the contents. Because you do not know what contents your users may browse, it is too risky if you put your Adsense on proxified pages. For example, your user may browse adult site, and if Google notices your Adsense ad in that page, then you are in trouble.

Do not solicit click. New free web proxy webmasters often put some words like this on their pages “please click ads to support our free services” bla bla. This is explicitly forbidden by Google, because you are soliciting clicks. You should not mention your ads except that you can mentioned your ad revenue will support the free web proxy service.

Add a privacy policy page. Most big ad network now requires a privacy page, You need state your site’s privacy policy. If you are not sure, find privacy statement from other free web proxy sites and modify accordingly. You only need make sure it is as accurate as possible based on your knowledge. Occasionally, Google may check around and ask you to put one.

Try different placements. The performance of Google Adsense units vary, greatly, depending on how you place them. You need do some experiments and optimize: size, location and color on individual pages. For example, square/rectangle (e.g., 300*250, 338*250) units usually performs better than 468*60 units. The location is also important. For example,if you put your ad units immediately after your near the address bar for proxy browsing, the click rate generally is high than other regions.

Do not use popup or pop-unders together with Adsense.Sometimes, you may have some popup ads or popunder ads for error pages, or proxified pages. But you should NEVER use them together with Adsense. Google does not like such ads. So, make sure there are no Adsense units on the page where you put popup ads.

These are the simple 5 rules that all free web proxy webmasters should follow, if you do not want to get your Adsense account disabled. To get best results, you should test different placements.

Top 5 reasons of using web proxy

This is a guest contribution from TheProxyFree.com. You may check their Proxy Blog. In This article, the top 5 reasons of using web proxy were summarized.

Top-5-reasons-of-using-web-proxyOf course, most our visitors are using our free anonymous web proxy service. Web proxy is quite simple. It acts as an agent between your computer and the site you want to browse. That’s it.

People are using web proxy mainly for the following 5 reasons:

  • Bypass blocking. This blocking may be placed by your government, or your ISP, or your organization, or even your parents. The intention may be good if contents blocked are not suitable for your age or your religion. But some ISPs or organizations just subscribe some third-party services, and block sites blindly. To access such contents, the only way is to use web proxy. Arguing with your ISP to whitelist the blocked sites is usually just a waste of time.
  • Surf anonymously. Netizens are more and more concerned about their privacy. If an ad pops out telling you an event in your neighborhood, and showing you the route from your home to the venue, will you be scared? Surely. This may be slightly exaggerated, but this is possible for some advertising companies already. They know your location, your gender, your education, your marriage, your income and probably even the color of your pants. Most webmasters may not collect such info, but the third-part ad-serving companies definitely collect as much as they can. Don’t talk about the rubbish laws; use anonymous proxy. Please note, this will only partially solve the problem because the web proxy have ads as well.
  • Safe browsing at work. Sometimes, you may not want your IT department knows the sites you visited. Although the site is not blocked (as a matter of fact blocking is the failed attempt to control the content access), browsing it during office hours may be deemed as inappropriate, especially when you are scrutinized for promotion or layoff.
  • Access contents not available for your region. The greedy content (movies, music…) providers always want to maximize their profit by restricting the availability to certain regions. Suppose you were sent to an Asian country by your company, if you want to watch an American TV show (anyway, it may be just a rubbish, which you already subscribed in US) in Asia, you have to wait, wait…, . Even the local government does not block it, the content provider blocks your access from Asia. It is not the fault of local governments or ISP, but the greediness of content providers.
  • Participate anti-govern activities. The Jasmine revolution in Arabian countries illustrated the powerfulness of internet. It is not surprising that some countries have tightened the the control of internet. So, if a person is involved in anti-government political activities (usually deemed as illegal in that country), he has no choice but to hide his identity as much as he can. Actually, what web proxy can hide is very limited. The law-enforcement in all countries have more advanced technologies to track the traffic through web proxy.

Of course, it is not new that a lot of ISPs and third-party rubbish internet security services block proxy sites. The good thing is that there are many new web proxy sites everyday. Building a web proxy is very simple as explained in this article.

If your web proxy is blocked , you have to change your web proxy. So, find a way to subscribe to proxy.org, or unrestrictedsurf.com to get latest proxy.

Please note, the privacy protection provided by web proxy is very minimum. Do not play with law-enforcement authorities unless you have better anonymous tools.

Web Proxy: what and for what?

proxy-girlAnonymous proxy servers, e.g., sgmum.net are most frequently used because these web servers do not share your IP address or any information about you or your computer. These anonymous proxy servers will protect you from different forms of malware such as viruses or spam.

Proxy servers are computers that offer a computer network service that allows its clients to connect indirectly to other network services. Proxies that are able to block the offensive web content are called web proxies. Another meaning of web proxies is reformatting the pages for other different operating systems. The internet providers might also set up proxies for preventing the occurrence of the computer viruses or any other hostile content such as spam that might affect your PC.

The special case of web proxies and the most frequently used are CGI or PHP proxies. For everybody to understand it is good to be explained that these CGI proxies are web pages that allow users to access other sites through them. These special sites are mostly used to gain access to blocked web sites. This thing is possible because the web proxy servers hide your IP address from any website and might also lead to faster browsing.

Many organizations such as schools or families use a proxy server to enforce acceptable network use policies or to provide security such as anti-virus, anti-malware or anti-spam services.

Anonymous proxy servers, e.g., sgmum.net,are most frequently used because these web servers do not share your IP address or any information about you or your computer. These anonymous proxy servers will protect you from different forms of malware such as viruses or spam.

Another advantage was proved when it comes to the anonymous web proxy server. It is known that these servers work with the help of a virtual database called cache. This memory is used to store the asked information and when that information is needed again there is no need for a new connection. The required information will be restored from the cache memory and this can not lead to anything but an increase of web surf quality and an increase of browsing speed.

These web proxy servers are indicated because it is known that if some sites get your IP and some minimum information about your operating system, hacking might be possible. Hacking will lead to an ongoing block and more than that it may lead to sharing the information from your hard drive and RAM.

More an inconvenience than a risk is the fact that proxy users may find themselves being blocked from certain web sites because numerous sites or forums block the IP addresses that are known to be spammed or trolled.The good thing is that your IP is not vulnerable by using these web proxies.

web-proxy-no-cheating-pleaseIn WWW world, proxy usually refers to the intermediary that retrieves information from other sources (e.g., websites) for the client. This is sensible when:

  • the client cannot directly connect to the resources, e.g., some ISPs’ firewall blocks these resources erratically or deliberately;
  • the client does not want to disclose his/her info (e.g., IP address) to the resources

There are different types of proxy: web-based proxy, open proxy and tunneling.
