    Whats the deal with redirecting non US traffic?

    One simple example:
    100 000 hits to paysite - 100 sales

    traffic - 60% US:
    60 000 US
    40 000 non-US

    sales 70% US:
    70 sales US
    30 sales non-US

    US ratio - 1:857
    non-US ratio - 1:1333

    $30 per sale
    US $2100
    non-US $900

    Do you make more than $900 when you redirect 40k people who want to see the paysite to a dialer?

      Your non-US traffic may be good, but others' may be not, esp. if it's Chinese.

          yup exactly... most Americans seem to think they are the only ones that have credit cards. Pretty annoying.

            They could at least put some effort into sorting out non-US traffic. I get why they wouldn't want chinese traffic, but i'm sick to death of being redirected to dialer and popup hell when i go and check out a paysite i want to promote. I live in Australia. We've been using those crazy little credit cards for quite some time now. Straight away, i don't want to promote a sponsor that's doing that. Especially if i'm not even going to get credit for the dialer and popup income, which is usually the case.

            It's such bullshit.

                    Depends what type of non-us traffic.

                    I can send 40k chinese traffic to a dialer and make something or send it to a sponsor, waste my ratios, use your bandwidth and mamke $0
                    Care about me?
                    Who?
                    Me!

                        it sux when sponsors redirect me when I try to view their paysite, when they do that I'll drop them the next second, I make some nice bank from european traffic, and I don't see why I won't get credit for that

                            redirecting at galleries should be a ban / blacklist at once, as most of the sponsorprograms have noo clue whats happening with their surfers/ webmasters surfers.
                            It's just extra income, not knowing that both program and webmaster are getting FUCKED OVER!

                            Specially on european traffic.... having a dialer option at your billing page is decent ( as long as you picked the right dialer and pay your webmasters for it )

                            When people think about "The right dialer" most of them are wrong!
                            Most dialer companies have their own content ( and at that spot they are competing with their clients - the program )

                            From europe try to get into the paysite dialing up, next close down and try again the next time, but use the button installed on your computer. If they want you to dial up again and you actually get into the same paysite as the day before... you are talking about a dialer coming near to be the " right dialer " . ( This is already very very rare finding the same paysite the day after )

                            Dialer income should not be steady, it should be growing for both webmaster and program. The more surfers install it and wanna come back the next day ( or couple of days after ) they should get into the same site ( making sure both webmaster and program will get paid over this )

                            The more installs of a decent dialer, the more you should earn daily.
                            Etc etc etc I can go on about this all night

                                the best solution is just not to redirect the traffic

                                  If you read my post you know we share the same feeling. a dialer option on your billing page is good though.... lots of people in Europe dont have a CC and next to that some of them prefer dialling up first to check the membersection and than sign up.

                                      Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've never made any serious money from dialers. But I'm promoting some sites that convert BETTER with quality European Traffic (UK, NL, Germany etc.) than with pure US Traffic, so this might not happen often, but IMO traffic from "rich" european Countries is nearly as valuable as US Traffic, and I could imagine that it would convert even better if the traffic would be more targetted.
                                      F.e. I'd say that a Dutch Banner pointing to a Dutch website ( or at least a properly translated one) could convert even as good as an US-Banner that points to a common Paysite.

                                          At Porn DVD Dollars we have found that it's most profitable for us to redirect many foreign countries even after paying the webmaster for dialer minutes.

                                          However, we do believe you should have the option for your traffic, so we offer the option to turn the dialer redirect off and allow you to choose the best method for converting your traffic...

                                            redirecting foreign surfers to programs with more then just a dialer option is best imho

                                            we have 5 billing options for the surfer including dialers so u convert more often with a higher revenue stream because we also have a direct debit payment option that we pay out a PPS or recur on

                                            dont just send your traffic to one billing option
