proxies getting hit with click fraud

phantam · 04-18-2007

apparently theirs a group going around messing with proxy sites, because even valid TOS compliant proxys were getting dropped from google. and their money removed because google said they had noticed click fraud, and at the same time the sites traffic was showing like a 80% CTR... this seems to have happened to several people over at DP

I have also heard about that. It is noted that the traffic coming from proxy.org is totally robotic and causing these click frauds. If you have a proxy then blocking traffic from this site would be a good idea.

That is why I think proxy sites just aren't worth it. If the only way you are monetizing your proxy site is with Google Adsense then you are just putting too many eggs in one basket. Google terminates accounts all the time for no valid reason and that makes me nervous.

Yeah watch out for proxy.org and block all traffic from it. It's being blamed for most of the crap fraud on proxies. A few people I have talked to personally are saying it's getting pretty bad.

Proxy site is only used for scamming people. I think it has no other meaningful use.
