Geo-Targetted Ads Take So Loooong To Load!!!
I love the AFF geo-targetted ads and feel they do result in increased sales however I am worried about them taking so long to load.
Whenever I put them on a new page and then point my browser to it, the page takes at least 3-4 times (sometimes more) longer to load. My fear is that surfers - with thier infinitessimal attention span - will just close the browser sometimes instead of waiting for it to load. Any thoughts on this? Do others experience it? Any way to fix it? mopek1 |

Sometimes they do, sometimes they are pretty quick. Anything with additional scripting will take longer than a simple graphic.

The database structure can be pretty intensive on a high traffic box. I have a setup which makes it like 10x faster to read, but even that with a lot of traffic will slow down a given box. AFF has a massive cluster of servers doing geoip lookups and they still slow down once and a while...

it takes a lot to look up an ip and match it with a city and then draw an image (ive run that database for fun at my house)
they should consider caching the images since they deal with so much traffic. and i do mean saving an image of every single ip address to disk... ie: 127001.jpg or mayve /127/0/0/1.jpg seems like a lot, but considering the size of the operation its not all that crazy of an idea |
