I tried different approaches but I'm not that good when it comes to marketing. From what I saw the proxy industry is pretty big with over 1 mil searches monthly, just that I don't know how to get to my customers. Recently I tried to get more exposure and it has a slowly growth, but yet I don't feel that I can get much out of it.

You could probably secure more customers with a better landing page. It's too wordy, gramatically awkward, and there are several spelling errors ('ressource' -> 'resource'; 'recieve' -> 'receive'; 'paypal' -> 'PayPal'). The crucial 'Subscribe' button is semi-transparent, overlaid on a busy background. The menu is not 'balanced' vertically. Also, I don't particularly like the name, either; but that's just a random point-of-view.

Basically, considering that you mention the proxy industry is pretty big, your offering is just not competitive! Yet with a few simple cosmetic changes, the look (and thus the impact on first-time visitors) could be improved hugely. It might make all the difference...

Landing page needs some improvement (already suggested by others).

If 'proxy industry is pretty big with over 1 mil searches monthly' then why don't you target some of them, especially the ones having low competition in SERPs ? Use Google keyword tool/planner and search suggestion box to get some ideas on this.

+ improve landing page title (currently it's 'SkyUl', which could be changed to your-title-with-primary-keyword : SkyUl)

+ also improve h1

"Recently I tried to get more exposure and it has a slowly growth"

Keep doing that, you'll get better at it the more you try / practice / fail / succeed, and the skills will be vital on your next project when you run into this exact same problem just after you launch.
