Interesting behaviour of proxy users from my list

On my site Daily Updated New Proxy sites , Right now the hits is at 2178 for today ,yet the top proxies on the list are only showing a hundred hits. I was curious what was going on so I made a script that logs hits from the url.php file and logs it to a text file. This is the behavior what I saw.

What can you make of that? Looks like their not satisfied with the ones their visiting, they scroll threw the list and try dozens of them. Some come back only 10 minutes later and use a another one. This is a high% bounce rate. The log is full of this!

I get this on my list too, I'll see logs of a single visitor clicking through to a bunch of the (newest) proxies in the list.

Sometimes I'll look up the IP of the visitor and it'll belong to something like (making this name up now) "Reno County School District", so I'm assuming it's either a student or admin from the school testing to see if any are working on their network.

Other times the IP may belong to just a random residential network in a country that isn't the best converting for proxies, and which some owners might block, so again I assume the person doing so is going through the list to find one that works for them. I also track where clicks on my links are coming from, as in the referrer (my site [direct link] or from an external site [indirect]). This specific scenario tends to pop up on indirect clicks from proxy blogs that focus on mid-east or asian countries (I'm just guessing here if that's their focus since the blogs are in a language I can't read, lol). Side Note: I do like the little added exposure though, I like that the blog writers kept my link istead of just using the main proxies url, it helps get my lists name out there.

And other times, I guess it's just people that like to check out different proxies and see which ones are working best for them.

It will be better if we know what kind of demographics you are promoting the site to .
Well, I guess you are targetting school public.
They need proxies to get on MySpace and facebook, but most proxies out there are not compatible with both these sites in that they do not allow signing into these sites.

So the visitors come back for more proxies.

But that should be a good thing for you [:P] .... more page loads for you ... maybe you could vary the ads position each time they reload the page.... this may get you more clicks ...
