If Lars or AFF see a lot of inaccuracies, they should just shell out a little extra and get MaxMind's data :2 cents:

Just for an example, I was shocked to see they listed me at 'Sabanillas', which isnt even a city but a small region of a few blocks. In comparison, AFF shows me as San Jose (the capital city of Costa Rica) which isn't where I am at all.

Consider this a free tip, do with it what you will :winkwink:

i think they are already using maxmind data, perhaps a different update though.

i get this error in the geotarget iframe:

Error. The file was not found. (filename = E:\SR-Legendary\legendaryLars\commonpages\errorpage.jsp) Error. The file was not found. (filename = E:\SR-Legendary\legendaryLars\generic\errorpage.jsp)



what's happening? :mad:

If your not using these ads for aff then you are throwing money out the window !

giving it a shot

Ron Bennett 11-21-2004 09:14 PM

Ads look great, but sadly the geotargeting is horrible.

The various geotargeting services I've tried IDs my IP exactly right as Reading, PA.

And yet AFF is off by over 20 miles!

Royersford is a tiny place, population wise, and nowhere near Reading, which is a small city of 80,000+ and the county seat of Berks County; Royersford is not even located in the same county!

Why is AFF so far off?

In regards to truth of advertising ... I agree with some of the others here ... AFF should select out REAL profiles and display those - surely that should be easy to do since AFF already does it automatically when one specifies their location (zip code, etc).

Why not show REAL profiles?

As of now, I'd strongly suggest anyone using these new AFF ads to place a large, simple notice that indicates some to the effect that the profiles shown are for demonstration purposes and not necessarily reflective of reality.

I personally will not use the new ads until geotargeting is improved and real profiles are shown.

Nice effort AFF and Lars.

It would have been nice however if real profiles could be used. I referred an idea to AFF not long ago about using profiles from members that signed up through my site (privatexxx). I'm still waiting for a response.

Anyway, I'm not going to use the (faked) geo targeted profiles. I'm satisfied with the results I get from the way I promote AFF right now. It took me some time but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I hate fakes and so do my visitors, so using faked profiles is a big no-no.

Anyone else heading for the extra 10% bonus over November btw?

i'm also getting this error when browsing my aff banner area;
Error. The file was not found. (filename = E:\SR-Legendary\legendaryLars\commonpages\errorpage.jsp) Error. The file was not found. (filename = E:\SR-Legendary\legendaryLars\generic\errorpage.jsp)

To all webmasters in Montreal I would like to say: great city enjoyed my stay. For you guys at voxtel and mopal: you're the best! We will meet again in Vegas! :thumbsup

Ok there was so much demand for this product we blew out the 10 extra servers we ordered for it and overloaded one database server. We have moved to static pages and it is smoking now. the geo is still in there, and later tonight we will start randomizing the static pages to make them look fresh each time your users visit the pages. Sorry for the slowness of the iframes I knew it would be big but had no idea the ammount of pounding you guys would be throwing at it. Next couple days we will offewr a simple geo target text ad that people have been asking for over and over again :) Thanks for your patience and your traffic. My numbers have exploded since using these ads its simply amazing !

jonnax 11-22-2004 03:07 PM

And the ads are not so deceiving any more :thumbsup

Thanks Lars. The banners are smoking fast again.

fitzmulti 11-22-2004 05:21 PM

Xenophage 11-22-2004 09:16 PM

Xenophage 11-23-2004 12:04 PM

Interesting.. it was targeted at the next town over rather than my town but still effective no doubt.

I have chosen to promote AFF over the last couple of years, as I felt that this site showed a degree of integrity that isn't always present on a number of the other adult sites or dating sites.

This type of ad is moving in the opposite direction. How so, you ask?

The girls or "content" used in the geo-ads are not going to be found on your site. So, now, when a customer clicks on the ad, and joins specifically to meet one of the girls in the ad..they are going to be sadly disappointed. In fact, this is no different then the other sites "seeding" the personals with a numbr of dummy personals.

This is completely different then regular ads, which show any number of pretty gals. These ads are claiming that the girls really are located in your home town...and, as I mentioned above..they aren't.

Uusally a great program...but I am disappointed at the direction you have gone with these.

just add a textlink

RisqueWritings 11-23-2004 08:17 PM

Sagi...

Kris here... (Feed the Kitty gurl).... Track me down, let's talk about the banner and my ad on AFF.

Thanks!

Sneezy 11-23-2004 10:17 PM

i decided to test the text link feature

Find a Real SEX Partner in .....(city)..... now! (click) -----> Sorry, no matches

the only positive thing is that i'm not even close to the city it suggested.

It;s getting better but this feature certainly needs some more tunning on IP detecting and proper result pages.

for example, if no matches were found, it would be nice to give the results from cities nearby.

I will start using the textfeeds when more accurate and if available in more languages.

Xenophage 11-23-2004 11:00 PM

Yes the good news is there is lots of room for imporvement. And given the huge increase in sales I am willing to go all out to find the best geo IP script out there. Money is no object !

btw Lars, have you ever thought of using 0900 pay-per-minute voice numbers as a billing option in your cam concept for european visitors? For a profitable example on how a pay-per-minute voice billing option is combined with home cams, you can take a look at the feartures of privatexxx.nl

I will take a look usually though it does not fit well with the payout model of our biz.

Yeah you can just add it to the end of the link. You can also add your subid right there if you want as well.

sacX 11-24-2004 11:08 AM

it could add a zipcode in so if a city is in more than one state it gets the right one..

TY for taking a look. But I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean by doesn't fit well. Are you referring to what performers and affiliates want or are you referring to the surfer needs?

In my opnion you should aim for the surfer in that respect. Same with these AFF geo target features, it's all about serving him the right goods at the right time and with the proper billing option.

:2 cents:

the economics dont fit well.. we pay the models 35% and we pay teh wemasters 20% thats usually at a minimum $1-2 bucks a minute and thats before I even start to make a profit its hard to charge enough $$ on a phone for me to get $4 bucks my cut after they take all their cuts.
