Optimizing Your Proxy for the Search Engines
When attempting to optimize your proxy site for the search engines it is important that you use basic and google, search engine optimization techniques. This means that you need to make sure that your title and your meta tags include the keywords that you are targeting. You also want to make sure that they are included in the H1 tags.
When you create copy for your proxy website, it probably won’t be very long or extensive, because essentially you are providing a service and you don’t want to make people read a lot of extra stuff. However, you do want to make sure that your keywords are inserted into the web copy.
Lastly, get links. Successful search engine optimization depends on incoming links. So you want to write articles, get links from social networking sites and maybe participate in some three-way link exchanges, add your proxy sites to directories and on popular proxy listing sites. This will ensure not only that you get traffic, but also that you build up those incoming links so you can see your site progress in the search engines. Remember, search engine optimization efforts must be consistent. You can’t only do these things one-time. You have to do this continually because you will be competing against other webmasters who are looking to rocket their proxy sites up the search engines as well.
Proxy Web Hosting
Choosing the right hosting is very important when you are creating a proxy site. You will want to make sure that the host company that you choose is fast, affordable, reliable and that hosting a proxy site does not go against the hosting company’s terms of service.
You want to ensure that your proxy is fast. If it is slow, then people will move on to another site. There are lots of free proxy sites available and people will simply leave and never return.
You also want a host that is affordable. You don’t want to spend a lot of money on proxies that have not proven to be profitable. If after some time, you flip a few proxies or you begin to making profit from advertisers or Adsense, then it’s OK to upgrade your hosting.
Make sure that your host is reliable. If your proxy site is not working or if there are constant problems and your site only works intermittently, people will move on and not come back, so uptime is vital.
You also want to make sure that hosting a proxy does not go against their terms of services. Some hosting companies don’t allow proxies because they take up a lot of resources, and there’s the potential for illegal activity.

Choosing a Domain For Your Proxy Site
Choosing a domain for your proxy web site will be very important. There are three primary trains of thought when it comes to picking a proxy domain. The first one is to choose a domain name that is brandable. You want to pick something that is memorable. This is more professional and it’s easier for people to remember. Therefore, they won’t have to bookmark your site to be able to come back and visit you, they will simply remember the name. A proxy site that seems professional is more likely to be passed on and recommended to other people. So in effect, it is more potentially viral.
The second train of thought is to simply use old domains that you have. Many times these are unpronounceable or they are not easy to remember. Now, if you are just looking to make a few bucks from Adsense and you don’t care about the long-term success of your proxy site, then this may be fine.
The third train of thought is to go cheap and just a purchase info domains. These are the least expensive and you can grab a lot of them. So if you want to create proxies in bulk, this is a good option.
Remember, certain networks block the words like “proxy”, “proxies” - so be careful
