You'll find it hard to rid yourself of this traffic. If you divert it away then you risk killing off your trades, since part of the traffic they send won't be counted - AND often langs like zh will click more than average. Some webmasters may not be too happy about you shunting away their traffic either.

I started a thread on another BBS a while ago about an 'en only' alliance, which would only allow a select group of languages to be traded. It never really took off because it would require that support to be in the trade script.

I ended up concluding it wasn't worth it, bandwidth is cheap now and the alliance sites would be more difficult to grow with a limited set of trades and surfers who didn't click as much.

My 120k TGP costs less than $200/mo to host, including the server. I worry about other things now.
