Is it fair to redirect surfers by IP and not to pay webmasters?
 

Many sponsors do that - they allow only N.American and some European traffic redirecting the rest to dialers. And affiliate webmasters do not get payed for that at all...

Is it fair? What do You guys think?

when it comes to this.
GFYers dont give a fuck

i do not like that :-)

If you are getting pay for what the dialer makes, then I guess it is not wrong.

But if you are not... that's another story.

i am not - that's the thing.
but there are several big programs around that do that....

If they advise you of this in their terms and conditions, it's perfectly fair.

If you send foreign traffic after being warned, that's your perogative.

why not redirect the traffic yourself BEFORE sending it to a sponsor? Basically, most foriegn credit cards won't be accepted anyways, so instead of sending it to the sponsor, why not send it to a dialer yourself?

Have you read the Terms and conditions of the program you're using, it should be written there, if not well this is wrong and you should use another sponsor or send only the traffic they pay on

it's not so easy to do that with traffic from galleries.

let me check their TOS again...

than us sponsors with 50/50 of dialer profit

like flaschash

Like my dad always said:
If you have to ask the answer is no

"No commission will be paid if the visitor to our site cannot be tracked by our system. All commissions and referral fees due and payable hereunder shall be payable in United States Dollars. We reserve the right to reject traffic that does not comply with certain requirements that we have periodically, or may in the future, establish. We will be solely responsible for all aspects of traffic recording. We will track the volume of traffic generated by your site and will make unaudited reports, summarizing this activity."

that's what they have :-)

redirecting by yourself is also good idea

simple:thumbsup

its ok if they say it before hand on the join page
but its nice if u get % of profits
but u can redirect only allowed traffic to the sponsor and send the rest urself to dialers

Its not hard either ;-)

redirect traffic from galleries? i do not think that TGPs will like that...
what about those TOS?

which sponsor is that?

I have the system ready to filter traffic but it will be ready for active use a bit later...anyways I do not like such terms and such a policy...

TGP wont mind if you are putting that redirection script when the surfer click the banner, if its US it goes to sponsor or else you send it somewhere else

DollarMachine

many of them will. Anyways I will try :)

i think its wrong because you know they arent getting paid on the dialer

List the sponsors you use who do this...

to do what?
