You may or may not know, but I had a few proxy sites that I tried to start. Well, shortly into it my hosting crashed a couple times. After some bad luck with the host, I left my sites down for about a month. I decided to give it another try, after I found some more proxy hosting. It’s still kind of a gamble, since I only had to pay $12 for hosting for the entire year, so I’m not sure how reliable it’s going to be. It’s worth it to try, though.
I set up these proxy sites with a very, very, basic format in order to try and maximize my click-through rate. After that, I also did some promotion on 3 of the 4 sites by having them sent out in newsletters to proxy groups. One cost $2.50 and the other cost $5 for 2 sites. Since that point, my Adsense earnings have grown to an average of $2.50 per day on just those 4 sites. This month, I’ve made $12 in Adsense from those sites, so I’ve definitely made my money back.
Something came up, though, that is causing me to slightly regret a decision. One day I was suddenly unable to access any of my sites, or even the main site of the host. I got frustrated and posted the 4 sites for sale as a network on DigitalPoint.com. Those sites look like they’re going to earn an average of $75 - $90 per month, and the bid is only up to $70, so somebody’s getting a hell of a deal right now. I have a BIN of $125 on them, so I’m hoping that it keeps going up and hits that amount before it sells. Yes, I could hold onto them and earn the money myself, but since I posted it I’m hoping to make the most from them now.
My point in this, though… It appears that my proxy sites are barely using any of my bandwith of the server. Therefore, I have an idea. I know 2 methods of promotion that really help a site. I also have another newsletter that I can send it out to for $6. So, I can send it out in 3 newsletters for a total of $11.50. The price of a new domain is $7 now through GoDaddy.com, using the code CJC695DOM. I bought a new domain GymClassHelper.com, and set it up just like my other proxies. This should be really easy to remember, and should cause it to be passed around quite easily. I’m positive that after sending it out to the newsletters, I’m going to be able to start earning $1 per day easily. All it takes is 20 days of $1 per day in order to make all my money back. I would like to be able to start up at least one new proxy per week, using these steps. If I can manage that, then by the end of March I should be able to pull in $5 - $6 per day, and receive a check from Google each month. Once I get to a better point, maybe 2 - 5 new proxies a week would be in order. If I can get up to 100 proxy sites, each averaging $1 per day, then that’s $3000 per month. Even if they average $.50 per day, then I would still be earning $1500 every single month, on top of my regular job. I’m going to try this for a couple weeks, and then I’ll let you know the results.

Proxy sites as any other sites need to have time to grow up, got good position on SE and everything else will be fine.
There is not need to hurry up and if i should chouse between quantity (number of sites) and quality i would chose for last one.
It is better to have one proxy site with good SERP than 100 proxy sites with bad SERP.
