The complete web proxy tutorial (Part 2) - Why can you make some money from your web proxy site

Why can you make some money from your web proxy site? Very simple, because hundreds and thousands of people need it. Those include college students, corporate employees, and people from foreign countries like Iran or India. They want to access blocked web sites like Facebook, Myspace, or YouTube everyday. They need a web proxy to do so. What does it mean to you?  It means Traffic to your web proxy site! In the Internet world, it may be the single important factor for you to make money.

Just to give you an idea, the following is a daily visit report of one of my web proxy sites. By the way, this report was generated by Google Analytics. You will learn more about How to optimize your web proxy site by using Google Analytics later.

2,588 visits from 40 countries in a single day! Considering millions of other websites couldn’t even secure 100 hits in a month, you should know what I mean now. But there is more to discover. Let’s examine the visits report further.

What can you discover from the above numbers? Among 2,588 visits, on average, each one viewed 22.26 pages and stayed on site for 12 minutes and 23 seconds. That converted 57,597 total page views in a day! What does “57,957 page views” mean to you? Money!

Let’s do a simple math:

The average Google Adsense CTR (Click Through Rate) is 1% – 2%. In other words, 100 page views will generate 1 or 2 ad clicks. How many ad clicks you can get from 57,957 page views?

57957 / 100 = 7957 Clicks

Assuming each click gives you just $0.10, how much can you make in a day?

7957 * 0.10 = $795.7 per day ($23,871 per month, $286,452 per year)

Of course, this sounds too good to be true. I don’t want to mislead you here. The reality is, page views from web proxy may not generate the same CTR as other types of websites. Plus you may not have big number of visits if you don’t know how to build, promote, and optimize your site well. So let’s divide the previous revenues by 100 times. Here is the money you expect to make from your web proxy site:

$8 – $10 per day ($240 – $300 per month, $2,880 – $3,600 per year)

It’s definitely not a big money. But it only costs you less than $10 a month for the hosting, and you only need to work 30 minutes per week after the initial setup. It’s certainly a good investment, right? The beauty is, this is a residual income, your web proxy will bring you money even you are doing nothing!

$300 per month might just be pocket money, but how about you create 10 or 20 web proxy sites?  How much money would you make then? Once you build your first web proxy site, it takes almost nothing to create another one. In my next step-by-step tutorial, I will show you exactly how to create your own web proxy site.

See you then!
