A few months ago i decided to buy a little proxy and see for myself what the fuss is all about. I simply could not be bothered starting from scratch so i purchased a proxy for $60 which already had some nice search engine traffic. Within the first week i realised that it is a waste of my server resources. So i simply made it unusable by removing the search form. To my surprise my CTR went through the roof. I was no longer using up my bandwidth yet this little proxy would make 5 times the money from Adsense. It earned me just under $600 within the last few months. Not bad eh?

From the users point of view… They search for the proxy on Google and when they find one they realise that it does not actually work. They still need to a proxy so they click on the Adsense ad because this is just what it is displaying.

Fair enough… this user will probably never come back but who cares? As long as i have a fresh stream of daily visitors from SE’s I’m happy running a static page that needs no work what so ever and does not use any of my resources.

There is no need to buy expensive IP hiding programs nor filter through thousands of proxies when you have TOR. TOR (Onion rooter) works similar to p2p sharing. However instead of sharing files, you are directing data packets from one computer to another. If you were to examine these packets of data at any point you would not be able to tell where it came from and where its going. This might sound complicated but in reality TOR has been made very easy to use.

Download the most recent stable version and install it. Launch TOR and make sure privoxy is running as well. Then install a TOR Button for your FireFox browser. After restarting the browser double click the red “Tor disabled” button at the bottom of FireFox so that it turns green and you are ready to go.

Check your IP address here. It should now be different. You can always change your identity again by opening tor and requesting a new one.

The best thing about TOR is its usability. Any kind of program that uses proxies can go via TOR and stay anonymous. Whether you are using some kind of blackhat pinger or a social submitter simply put 127.0.0.1:8118 as a proxy whenever the program asks you to. Happy anonymous browsing!
