I'm already working on it. This is almost too easy once you understand it.

Hardest thing will properly be doing referrals from other sites like g00gole or dm0z.

The other hard thing is the proxy list. Please give me some suggestions for that. I can build in a scraper if we have nice big reliable lists.

I am also working on testing automation of the proxy. Was thinking about scraping whatismyip.com before you send the ping to alexa, that way you can verify that the browsing IP is the same as the proxy IP. We don't need a browser agent because the toolbar doesn't send that information along.


And yes, I know that alexa ratings are worthless... but, if for some reason they matter to you... here you go, an easy way to boost them. One of the biggest opportunities I could see is for ebay domain name sellers. Boost the rating into the 100,000 range, then make that a selling point on ebay. Sure it's blackhat... but you're not selling traffic, just the BS rating.
