I found this today:

Very good tutorial on how to block proxy.org traffic to comply with Google's request.

Read this for more info.

I also reccomend you ask to be delisted. This will make sure you don't get listed again if you remove the .htaccess by mistake etc.

Note: If you don't comply, you WILL be suspended from Adsense.

Proxy.org is one of the largest sources of proxy traffic, its not good to block it

I'm going to put javascript on my proxies that will display adsense so that bots will not see adsense code.

And ~90% of that traffic is from bots. Is it really worth it?

I don't think that's allowed.

To be honest, it provides 15 uniques > if you have a free listing. Now come on, it's not worth it for 15 uniques.

I used to get about 4k uniques for 100 free listed domains.
Not sure how much of them were bots.

That's 4x+ than you should of got, so something is wrong.

Now there are too much proxies listed at proxy.org so traffic goes to decline.

Well over the past few days, there have been a decline in the number of proxies.

This whole idea of blocking proxy.org is ridiculous, it's a good source of traffic. If you just had adlogger installed there would be no problem, and anybody who uses adsense is making a huge mistake by not installing adlogger because it just puts them at risk for attacks.

I had adlogger installed, but the earnings went right down when I blocked multiple clicks from IP's. It's not reliable at all - it counts a mouseover as a click. With my ads being at the top of the page - it would block nearly every visitor from clicking the ads.

Most of us did have adlogger installed.

Personally, It's not worth it. 4k delists ina week. Traffic is dropping fast too, so it's not worth the risk now.
