Redirects when offer not available in your location???

    hey guys. I'm promoting some products through azoogle, i've been with thenm for about 3 weeks now and have started making some decent money. what annoys me though is that with some of their offers, if you are not from the US (I'm from UK) and i click the links to test they are working, the offer redirects to a completely unrelated offer.

    After checking all the offers on azoogle, there is clearly much more related and suitable offers to redirect to which might actually convert. does anyone know if this can be changed or is it just something you have to put up with? I lose a sh!t load of clicks to crap redirects which could be making me plenty more cash if the redirect was somehow related to the offer the person has been redirected from.

    Use a proxy and check, worldproxy202.com is a decent one I use as I'm from the UK too.

    Regarding your 2nd question I wouldn't advertise the campaign to areas which are not accepted for this reason.

    hey yeah i use a proxy to check that they do work. It's a shame there isn't a way you could choose where an offer redirects to an offer of your choosing if they were outside US :(

    If your hoster supports geo IP feature then look for a PHP script which will redirect users to alternative page

    1) Go to http://www.vtunnel.com
    2) Paste in your affiliate link
    3) See what the landing page looks like.

    Very complicated, I know :rolleyes:
