This question is often asked on internet marketing, web master and other forums. In fact, almost every time you present a new product a new product, a bunch of people post replies asking this exact question.
It is quite a logical thing to ask, because if you can get something for free which is identical to the product you offer, it would not make much sense in offering it for money, right? Well, not exactly.
I know a lot about offering stuff for free; I admin and run huge free hosting sites, file sharing sites and image sharing sites. The market for such sites is incredibly hard right now; ad spendings are down, hosters are getting strict with their policies and hosting costs, in most free giveaway markets, are always rising.
Exactly a year ago I was introduced to the concept of web proxies. Well, the concept was not new; I know what proxies and what they do, but I wasn’t aware that people were actually making web proxies to make money.
A proxy like this, is used by users around the world to browse websites anonymously from their office, school or home. Usually they do this to hide their ip address or to be able to browse sites which are blocked by firewalls and so on.
