SEO for Proxy Sites


1. First you have to find your proxy niche. To do this you must look for keywords and judge how competitive they are. The proxy market itself has a massive amount of traffic and therefore there are tons of keywords that can drive traffic to your proxy. Here is a quick and easy way to find great keywords for proxy sites that you will be able to rank for in Google and see immediate traffic.

a. First go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ this tool allows you to put in a base keyword (like proxy hint hint) and generates keyword phrases that will help you determine keywords that have search traffic that you can use for your site.

b. Key in proxy into wordtracker and look at the top 4 or 5 results. These results get a ton of daily traffic but do not expect to rank anywhere in Google for those keywords until you are an established proxy site for a very very long time. Now if you scroll down the list a bit you will probably see some good keywords right off the back we know that the top results will be impossible to rank for so go down anywhere to the 3500 searches and below. My favorite keyword for my site http://www.ProxyBolt.com was myspace proxies. It receives roughly 3095 searches per day so that for me was a good starting point.

c. Pick about 5 or 6 keywords that you like that have good search traffic but you would not think would be very competitive.

2. Now that we have our keywords we like jot them down on a piece of paper and keep it near by. Open up Google and in the search box type in your keyword but put your keyword in quotes. We do this because we want to find out what sites are actually geared at that exact keyword phrase. This is very important because if we just put our keyword in the search box we will get every result that has either myspace, or proxies in it. We don’t want that we only want to know what websites in this search field are specifically optimized for that exact keyword phrase and how many of them are.

3. Ok so now we look through the results for “myspace proxies” and scan through the title tags of the sites listed. If the title tags have the keyword “myspace proxies” bolded that usually means that they are ranking for that keyword and are optimized specifically for it. If you look the first two pages of listings and see a ton of the title tags and description texts have the keyword bolded, then that means the keyword is probably too competitive and for the amount of traffic you would get it is not worth it.

4. Once you find out that a keyword is good and you think you can rank for it then make your proxy page and try to include your keyword in your title, h1 tag, and text. Use a separate keyword that has search volume to also optimize your page for that keyword using the same technique as explained above. Don’t overdue your keyword use! The worst thing you can do is overuse your keywords and Google will give you a ranking penalty just use it enough so that it seems like the page is geared towards that keyword.

5. Now work on building QUALITY backlinks to your site that have the anchor text with your keyword but don’t overdue that either and try to throw in a word that will work with the phrase so the link profile looks more natural for example “fast myspace proxies”

6. Backlinks are your main concern in SEO and they hold a lot of weight but just like the Viagra and casino market there are not a lot of high quality proxy sites out there. So when you see some sites have 20,000 backlinks do not get intimidated by that because most are garbage and hold no value just try your best to get links from things that are related to proxies like maybe a tech blog or high pr proxy directory but do not have a ton of reciprocal links because that wont help it will actually hurt.

7. Last but not least make sure you submit your proxy to my favorite referrers that have sent me thousands of visits a day before I even ranked in the SERPS.
