I run multiple TGP's and did some stats on them. They mostly get their hits from trades... I have a list of countries most sponsors tell me, SUCK... Here they are:

AE,AL,AM,AZ,BG,BR,BY,CN,CR,CZ,EE,GE,HR
,HU,ID,IL,IN,Jo,JP,KG,KP,KR,KZ,LT,LV,MD
,MY,PH,PK,PL,RO,RU,SG,SI,SK,SY,TH,TJ,TK
,TM,TW,UA,UZ,YU

Some sponsors supposedly will not even take a cc from them. Others will. Of those that will, these countries make up 10% of their revenues. 10% sounds pretty good since there are a shitload more countries that are 'good' countries and most of these countries don't have people with money for computers...

So I decided to do some stats... This TGP is www.universaltgp.com and it is about 6K right now.

I added up all of the hits from each country and how much bandwidth they all consumed. In the end -

33% of the traffic was bad traffic
52% of BW was used by bad traffic

Remember only 10% of signups are from bad traffic and that is from sponsors that accept them.

I asked around. A very high portion of sales are US and CA, UK, GB, AU and FR. So it almost seems pointless to cater to these people at all...

TM3, UCJ, TTT, RB4, etc, all of these scripts should not count shitty traffic. It seems I will have to redirect it all to something... but what... Remember, no one wants it! Toolbars will give a penny for it, Dialers are the same... What can you do with such shitty traffic?
