Hi all.

I was hoping someone could give me some advice? I have had my PIP site since the middle of Nov and I'm pretty pleased with how it’s going so far but there is one thing Im unsure about.

Most of my visits are from search engines at this stage and my world wide traffic ranking is climbing nicely but my US ranking is dropping (400 thousand’ish down to 700 thousand'ish in a couple of days). The biggest percentage of my traffic is coming from other countries now. I was curious as to why this might be happening? Im not doing anything different.


Thanks!

I agree. My opt-ins seem to be comming from different countries other than north america. I don't know how this is going to affect my sign ups. I was hoping to have a few more people in my down line by now, but I guess I will plug away to get it where I need to be.

I see the same thing with my site. I don't think it's anything to be alarmed about. There's many factors that could be causing this, ranging from what keywords are being searched for when they come to your site, where you're advertising, etc.

One thing I've noticed is that the majority of my newsletter sign-ups as of late have all been from India. Quite odd if you ask me.

A large percentage of the new orders for PIPS are coming from other countries. It's been going on for years and increasing exponentially. (always had UK and AU, but now non-English speaking countries are increasing ten-fold).

I don't know about the US traffic dropping but I do know the international traffic is increasing as countries are coming online.

It's really going to be fun now that we have 'weird' international domains allowed - got the first one 'something.bz' -

I thought it was a typo for .biz - so I changed it and set everything up -- and then had to go and change everything back again - because .bz is Belize.

The mystery is how they get through the training which is in English - in emails/helpdesk it is apparent that they barely speak English in a lot of cases.

... God bless them, they are very welcome, I just don't know how they do it.

Yeah...know what you mean Pat. My last four affiliate signups for SFI are all from India. I received an email from my last signee and could barely figure out what he was needing. I have done some classified ads in other countries, and they seem to be interested in internet marketing.
