Optimize Your Web Proxy Business

Starting a web proxy is easy, a proxy webmasters doesn’t need to know html or any other technical stuff to succeed with the proxy business. There are a lot of proxy sites or networks for sale everyday, the reasons for each single sale are very different: the proxy consumes too much bandwidth or server resources or the proxy doesn’t create the earnings as planned. The last one is what this article is about, some guide to have more success.

Create proxies for people not (only) for your earnings

Remember yourself why the proxy business is still successful, because people like surf blocked websites at school or work. Providing a proxy service that is not fast or has more ads than each TV break are not very useful for this target group. Sure you need ads because you need pay your server, advertising and of course you need some profit too, but do it the right way. Just ask yourself, “Would you use this proxy service?” Use CPC ads (Adsense) on your proxy portal page and CPM banner ads on proxified pages.

Web server and bandwidth

While its possible to get a lot of shared hosting for only a few bucks you need some real server for your proxy business. A dedicated server is what you need, how this server

need to be depends on how much proxies want to host. There are two important proxy scripts: PHProxy and CGIproxy. While CGIproxy is able to offer much more features to proxy users need the script much more resources than PHProxy. Start with the PHProxy script, a smaller server (Pentium D with 2GB of memory) can handle 10 proxies using this script. Note this advice is based on my experience and depends on how you optimize your server, find some advice here. The maintenance of a Linux web server is not easy for a non Linux Guru, try to get some managed server.

Your nice looking web proxy site

Sure since you proxy is just a portal you don’t need a unique web design and more a proxy template that is optimized for maximum earnings (CPC clicks). For the start get some readymade free PHProxy template and place your Adsense code above the URL form. Check other proxies and learn from them, most have similar schemes. Add also some text about proxies to your site to get related ads and maybe some traffic via search engines like Google. Remember the advice from above:
Provide proxies for people!

Promote your proxy to get enough visitors

Without user your proxy is worthless. You need to promote your proxies on places where people come because they are looking for proxies or related stuff. That can be proxy directories, Proxy top lists (or other lists) or any other place where you can place a link (MySpace profiles, forum signatures or regular websites). If you have some budget for advertising you should try the top listing slot from popular proxy lists or advertise your proxy on some proxy mailing list. Using CPC advertisements is a lot to expensive; don’t spend more than a few cents for one click.

Promoting your site on proxy top sites

You have seen them on a lot of proxy sites: lots of buttons from proxy top sites. There are also top site submission services; you get 100 subscriptions done for just a few dollars. Don’t use them; this kind of promotion doesn’t work. A lot of those proxies list the proxy with the most button impressions at the top and this is what you don’t need, ask yourself:

"Why should some visitor browse the top site until he found my listing?"

Use only those top lists which show the top referrer on the no. 1 listing. Check the stats from the top 5 for the outbound clicks, if there are only a few of them this top site doesn’t have enough visitors.

Some final hints for your proxy business

• Limit the file access, each large file downloads will eat some of your bandwidth and server resources (you need internet surfer and not downloader)
• Your target group are the kids at school or people at work, this group want to visit sites like MySpace or friendster. So your users are less likely to be surfing for inappropriate videos.
• For the maximum of revenue you need traffic from countries like the US, UK or CA. All other countries are not bad but what if some users in other countries will eat all your resources while people in the US getting a poor speed using your proxy.
• Don’t forget to monitor your proxies, check earnings and other statistics (referrer traffic) frequently, any outgoing click to some website that has no (more) value for your proxy is a worthless click for your business.

@stake Announces Release 2 of WebProxy; Interactive Security Tool Created by Renowned Security Experts Helps Software Engineers Build More Secure Web

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)

@stake, Inc., (www.atstake.com) the world's largest independent digital security consulting firm, today announced the immediate commercial availability of @stake(R) WebProxy(TM), a powerful interactive security tool that helps software developers, quality assurance engineers, and security professionals test and enhance the security of Web applications. Sitting between the developer's browser and the Web application, WebProxy acts as a 'proxy' to let the developer observe precisely how the Web application responds to staged attacks, such as those that use buffer overflows, SQL injection, cookie manipulation, cross-site scripting or parameter manipulation. By identifying security vulnerabilities while applications are still in development, companies can cost-effectively improve the overall security of any Web application(1).

"Today's Web applications are subject to malicious activity by both authorized and unauthorized users," said Charles Kolodgy, Research Manager for Internet Security at IDC. "To combat this, corporations need to make sure that their applications are designed to protect data as it is being processed and stored."

Several studies have indicated that it is more cost-effective to address security vulnerabilities in software applications during the development phase versus after the application has been released to customers. If a malicious attack is successful on a Web application that is already in commercial use or production, companies must face costs associated with removing the application from production, assessing the damage to the application and the data it manages, as well as potentially considerable costs associated with loss of reputation and customer confidence that may result from the attack.

"Security in today's software industry is dominated by a penetrate-and-patch mentality, where the security of an application is more likely to be addressed after it has been released to customers," said Christopher A.R. Darby, Chairman and CEO of @stake. "As digital security consultants, we've helped hundreds of clients rectify Web application security flaws that could have been more easily and cost-effectively addressed during development or quality assurance testing. With the commercial introduction of @stake WebProxy, we're offering a powerful tool to help companies make immediate improvements in the security of any Web application."

About the New Release

@stake WebProxy was originally developed as a proprietary tool to be used exclusively by the company's security consultants on client engagements to assess Web applications for common security vulnerabilities. Since @stake posted the first release of WebProxy in April 2002 as a free, undocumented tool on the company's Web site, over 20,000 people have downloaded a copy. Because of the overwhelming response, the company has made a number of enhancements to the commercial release, including a new user interface, improved installation, comprehensive new documentation, and powerful new automated testing features.

How WebProxy Works

Designed to act as an HTTP/HTTPS proxy server, @stake WebProxy allows monitoring and manipulation of requests made by the browser to the Web application. @stake WebProxy offers the following features and benefits:

-- Re-submission and on-the-fly editing of previous requests, which allows the developer to test custom application attack scenarios. Editing capabilities include support for parsing of query parameters, request headers, and POST parameters, as well as cookie editing. Requests can be automatically modified based on a matching regular expression for ease-of-use.

-- Logging of requests and replies to text files, allowing the developer to maintain a record of past requests for use in regression testing.

-- Dynamic certificate generation, enabling transparent support for testing SSL-enabled applications.

-- Cookie management, hashing, and decoding utilities, providing a convenient interface for analyzing encoded application traffic.

-- Quashing of header parameters, allowing the developer to observe how the application reacts when certain headers are missing.

In addition, the following features have been added to the commercial release:

-- Automated fault injection or "fuzzing" of request parameters, which can be used to test for SQL injection, directory traversal, cross-site scripting, buffer overflows and character set vulnerabilities.

-- Support for Proxy Chaining, which allows WebProxy to be used in conjunction with existing proxy servers.

-- Comprehensive new documentation.

-- New user interface.

-- Performance enhancements.

System Requirements

WebProxy can be used to test Web applications that are running on any platform. WebProxy runs on the developer's client system, which can be any of the following:

-- Microsoft Windows (Win32) including NT, 2000, and XP

-- Sun Solaris (SPARC) with X-Windows

-- Linux (x86) with X-Windows

WebProxy has been designed to work with any Web browser that has proxy support. Release 2 of WebProxy has been tested with Netscape 4.79 and 6.2, Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0, and Mozilla 1.1.
