Why Should You Bother About Proxy?
You may not notice, proxy is actually a big market on Internet. Just like blogs, forums, or social sites, internet proxy servers attract millions of visitors throughout the world every day.

But why should you bother about proxy? Here are 4 main reasons:

1. Unblock External Websites
As described in my other post – “What is Proxy?”, you can simply use a web proxy to bypass network filters and access those blocked websites such as Facebook, MySpace, or YouTube. This is the number one reason why proxy is so popular. People such as college students, corporate employees, and residents of many developing countries are looking for fresh internet proxy servers every day. The market demand is huge and consistent.

2. Allow Anonymous Web Surfing

Whenever you visit a website, you send your IP address to it as well. As a unique identification of your computer, your IP also discloses a lot of information about YOU. For example, which country you are from, which city you are in, and what network you are on. The last one is critical. According to your network location, others could tell what school you study at, what company you belong to, or where you are right now, in a library, a hotel, or a coffee shop.

The question is, are you really comfortable with exposing all such information to the wild Internet world? Especially with growing concerns such as privacy, hacker, virus, spyware, and spam?

The good news is, you can simply use an internet proxy server to hide your IP. Let’s say you visit Facebook. Instead of directly calling Facebook, you ask your proxy to send requests and get responses. As the result, Facebook can only see the IP address of the proxy server rather than your computer. In this way, proxy allows anonymous web surfing.

3. Improve Site Performance

Many times, you find that it is pretty slow to load some websites. This is often caused by the number of concurrent requests and/or the limited network bandwidth. Surprisingly, if you access those sites through proxy, you might experience much better site performance. Why? Because a fast proxy server usually has a caching mechanism. It makes a copy of web pages from popular sites (e.g. homepage of YouTube) and saves at proxy server. Therefore, when you request those pages, the proxy could quickly send you a local copy rather than retrieve from the jammed source sites.

4. Make Money

Yes, we are talking about real money here. Even better, it is often a residual income requiring less than 1-2 hours work per week. Since the main purpose of ProProxier.com is to help you make money from proxy, I will talk about how to do it in my other posts. For now, I just want to quickly give you a big picture.

I believe you have heard all kind of ways or systems to make money online. Regardless what they are, Blogging, Affiliate, or Social Network, it all narrows down to one fundamental factor – TRAFFIC. Indeed, traffic is the common currency on Internet. Because of traffic, Facebook is worth billions of dollars today. And because of traffic, YouTube was sold to Google at $1.65 billion just 10 months after its official launch.

How about the traffic to proxy? It is huge. This is because the market demand is huge as we saw earlier. A well-built and well-promoted internet proxy server could get over 5,000 visits every day. In fact, my top 3 proxy sites generate over 2.5 million page views every month. Once you have that level of traffic, you just need to find some right programs to monetize it, such as Ad Network, Affiliate, or Sponsored Ad. And the beauty is: an internet proxy server could be running on an auto-pilot mode. It requires very minimum maintenance effort from you after the initial setup. You might just simply enjoy the residual income or duplicate the process to make more money.

Sounds too good to be true? Speaking from my experience, I know it is true. And I would say proxy might be the simplest and quickest way to make money online. However, I don’t want to mislead you. Like any other business, it still requires certain amount of time, effort, and structure, especially at the beginning. That’s why I created this ProProxier.com website. I’d like to share with you my experience, lessons, and insights as a Pro Proxier. Hopefully your road to a successful proxy business would be much smoother.
