Why is there this trend for tier 1 traffic for list building?

Yes I realize they have greater purchasing power, but if you leave the rest of the world behind you are leaving a lot of profits as well.

What's your opinion on this?

    I don't think it's a purchasing power thing, it's just the English speaking coutries.

    I guess it's a general understanding that you won't be able to get your message across the same way when people don't have English as their native language.

    I for instance wouldn't worry too much about it, but i do think it's important not to get too much subscribers from countries where the average salary is low. But that's normal if you want to make sales.

      There seems to be prevailing such trend , since it makes easier for internet marketer to sell or promote product by list building with tier 1 traffic

      Hmm I was thinking that it has the least to do with the language, because most of the people that come to this field know English at least as the second language.

      Honestly I don't see a major difference when it comes to a native speaker and not a native one, they still understand English and that's all you need to make a sale to them.

      If they don't understand then they don't even optin and that probably comes to the fact that a lot of people are just sending crap traffic and this might be a way to control this by just accepting tier 1.

        Yes maybe that's the case, it's probably a combination of both, and many people that are scared they'll get a lot of traffic from India, Indonesia etc.

        But hey, maybe in 10 years it will be reserved, and everybody will want traffic from India

      I think Jens is right here..

      One more think probably because subscribers and leads from this country are more responsive than others..

      and language can be the biggest reasons
