Sagi, getting better, I know where my IP is, and its nowhere near the south suburbs of Chicago, but at least you are getting the right state for me. :1orglaugh

The adultlocals.com guys have my range within about five miles. :thumbsup

But I will still run the AFF!

Groan. Sorry about that. By now you've heard the argument that this geo-shit works so well when it works that it more than makes up for the occasions when it doesn't work (or misses, as in your case). Well, that's true for sure. But, bear in mind also that the performance of these ads is a function of the quality of the IP-matching database, which is a commodity element we can replace with a better one at any time a better one is available. Obviously, the higher the correct hit-rate of the IP DB, the better the ads. But, when it comes to converting from the ad to the site, and then retaining the member, there is simply no subsitute for 16 million active members worldwide. There is, literally, always an AFF member right next door. (Well, maybe not literally, but it sure feels that way to me in some towns -- LOL.)

Let's not confuse a thumbscrew for the engine.

Not sure if you didn't see my post, but the customized geo-searches have had the wrong url in them for over 24 hours. Is anyone working on it or should I pull them? Yesterday was a total wasted day with nothing counted.

Hmmm might be time to use aff again :)

They ARE being worked on. For the time being, they link to the registration page and not search results, as intended. While this meaningfully reduces the effectiveness of the ad, the geo-detection (in the ad itself) is operating, and the link is properly coded for tracking. So, what we're talking about is a handicap and not a complete failure. If it's not very much trouble, I'd replace them for the non-customizable ads. But let me assure you, if your traffic has demonstrably under-performed for this problem, I'll make it up to you -- as many as 50 times.

geo-targeting alone is working like mad for me, thanks a bunch :)

I love AFF... and I love Geo-targetting so this is just getting better and better. Good work Sagi :thumbsup

Please take a look at the Men for Men custom ads, then use search as the destination. It's not even going to the registration page, it's a complete 404. Here's the code that I've been using for a while, with a generic ID for example. You will see it goes to http:///p/memsearch.cgi?who=UmFuZG9tS.... with a long trail over numbers/letters.

Delighted to hear it, and you're very welcome!

The webmaster response to these ads has been so enthusiastic and the ensuing traffic has been so overwhelming, we just dropped over a $1,000,000 on servers 2 weeks ago for images, pages and ads. We're all but done bringing all these new state-of-the-art "screamer" boxes online, after which you will be as awed by the site performance as you've been by your checks during these last 2 months.

They seem to work for me.

Let's get on ICQ, so I can troubleshoot and see if I can duplicate your results.

Thanks look for more to come.

In the meantime I should also mention that you can make Geo-Targeted search links for any of our sites, alt.com, outpersonals.com, amigos.com, asiafriendfinder.com, etc.

I wish I had more traffic to send ya :Oh crap

Do you ever fantasize about winning a Nobel Prize?

Like butter.

Great going Sagi and the AFF team! :thumbsup

Bump for the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces.
