The point of NOT using the geo targetting beforehand is done on purpose so that when they check the email they see an email with the subject line containg their city ( even though they didnt enter a city )
Although your right i should add a message to the "check your email for verification" and let them know the email might hit their spam folder.. but like i said it almost works better this way , because the advertising email you send along with the verification email will be alot harder to keep from the spam folder, and this way they will already be in their spam folder looking for the verification email..
 trust me i have thought about all this . I have run my own email program for about a year now , i have quite a big database of emails ( EXCLUSIVE ) and back to back have made more from them than with the email sponsors i was using before ( i used cecash ftc and gammacash ) I still do use them for some things, .. this isnt for everyone its for s certain purpose for a forward thinking person who is also interested in cross-promotions  theres lots of possibilties.
I may have given some people the wrong impression maybe, the email isn't the trick , its using it in combination with a geo-ip script to do EFFECTIVE advertisiing

Ok, I see, all I got was 'verify your email', so I am guessing it couldn't geoip track me (Sydney Australia for what it is worth). Cool little option though, but you're right it isn't for everyone. I guess you get many more submits and confirms than popping a regular CECASH page, but I'd be suprised if you are monetizing them better than CECASH does (even thought he affiliate obviously only gets a cut of what they make per email). But I guess if you've had a year at it you might be pretty decent by now at working the $ on each email. Incase you are not already doing it, you should consider what alot of email programs do, when someone submits from yahoo.com address for instance, you should put a prompt page after linking directly to
http://mail.yahoo.com asking them to confirm, perhaps with a small screenie of the yahoo mail page to increase clickthrough on it. Anyway, cool script nonetheless.
