So far so good, so I decided to give their ad a more prominent location and then this started happening (stats for May up to today):



My ratio went to shot because for whatever reason, the script decided to redirect vast majority of traffic to AFF which doesn't convert worth shit. Geo Matic is promoted as tool which sends your traffic to where it converts the best, and it used to work that way, but then without a reason it started waste more than a half of it. Emails to support are mostly ignored so not only no solution has been suggested, it doesn't even look as though anyone bothers to look into it.

I have yet to receive a check so I can't comment on how and whether they pay, but so far my experience's been like this - started OK, but quickly went to shit. Affiliate support is most certainly junk.

I have really good traffic, no traffic trades, no circle jerking, all my traffic is on the site because they want to be on the site. I'm used to seeing good conversion ratios, it's just unfortunate that their script would start wasting much of the traffic. And unfortunately, there is no code I could use to only point to FCE which does seem to convert because you either go with PPL in which only converts some countries or stick with revshare, but nothing which would do PPL for clicks from participating countries and if click is not from such country, then use revshare. At this point I'm uncertain whether I should keep promoting them. Still waiting for a check.
Looking at your 2 screenshots, your FCE ppl (tier 1 countries) ratio is almost identical. So why not just send all your traffic to your FCE PPL link and not use the geo matic. All tier 1 country traffic will go to FCE PPL and it will automatically take your non tier 1 FCE traffic and put it on FCE revshare and won't go to any other programs. There is most definitely linking code to only send to FCE, simply click "Web Offers" at the top and the link is right next to FCE (PPL).

Not sure why you feel you weren't able to get support, simply posting something in one of their many threads here would have gotten you some quick help. Currently, I can't think of another program on GFY, that has more of a presence in terms of affiliate support.
