Am I the only one that doesn't quite yet buy into the GEO-ad rage? I appreciate how they get viewer's attention at a very high rate vs. static banners. And of course, the click-through rate improves ...
But if I'm a surfer and I see an ad saying "click here to find women in Toronto" (where I'm from), I'd probably click. However, when I get to the site there are no women from Toronto, in fact no mention of Canadian women ... or Utah women, or Brazil women or Japan women.
The ones that Lavalife and other mainstream dating sites work great (I know) because they actually show you profiles of local ladies in the ad. When you click one, you go to HER profile and she is really from your area.
Cam site GEO ads I've seen so far (yes, this includes Lars) don't do that - they just take you to a chat room and essentially, mislead you. I personally don't like doing that to my visitors so I've stopped using the ads.
I'm not totally knocking the concept - anything for more clicks (read: potential sales) - but I'd like to send my visitors to where the ad tells them, and even more importantly, when they get there they see what the asked for/were promised in the ad (ie. Toronto women)
My :2 cents:
(btw, no I don't have any other cam sponsors offering GEO ads to tell you about, just thought I'd throw my .02 into this thread, sorry!)
