I've about had it with Maxbounty

Neverblue will also do the geographic redirects that I'm sure are happening with the OP.

We geo-redirect to ensure the affiliate can still have the chance to earn on the click sent. The campaign might not be related, but at least it's a live campaign. Your other option would be for us to send the traffic to a "this campaign is not available in your area" page, which would earn you $0.

Thanks

You used to be my account manager.

If they are geo-redirects and I'm inclined to think so, is there a way to set a secondary campaign?

To direct the user to a survey will not work. I've tried repeatedly for monthly to get them to fill out a demographic survey. It ain't gonna happen. Even when I tried to entice them to do so.

It is a large amount of redirects though compared to what I see in the server logs.

Thanks

There is no way to set a secondary campaign within Maxbounty (or any network that I'm aware of). However, why not do the redirect on your end? Setup the free Maxmind geo redirect, send all relevant users to the main offer, send all others to another one.

Or if you want to change what banners your user gets, depending on their location, setup an ad server like OpenX (also free). That way you have total control on who sees what and where they get sent.

That would be using a third party as a pass-through...I think.

So...it would work like this (?)...

1. User clicks a banner promotion

2. User is geographicly filtered to the correct/appropreiate offer.

3. Hopefully, the user does something and I get paid. (that's sarcasism but I wanted to follow it through)

Here's the underlining problem I see:

I would have to alter the code from maxbounty to do that because of the banner display that the user initially sees on my site.

Or...

Do you have a different setup that I'm not seeing here?

p.s. MediaBurst has an option to set secondary offers but, that's a CPM database.

Thanks

Slagging off top notch CPA networks is not always a good idea. Especially in public.

Well she hasn't used her full name at this forum! "debra" may not even be her real name and even if it is, without a last name Maxbounty can't ban her!

So true, it sounds like she may be doing something fishy here, and isn't telling us the whole story. I've never had issues with Maxbounty, and they're definitely one of the better CPA networks I've encountered.

Nothing "fishy". I don't waste my time on such things.

It's my real name. And Maxbounty has no reason or desires to ban me.

Repeatedly I have caught Maxbounty redirecting to a survey. My sites users wouldn't fill out a survey even if it kept the world from ending tomorrow. That's just the way it is.

Yet, maxbounty keeps redirecting the clicks from a banner ad to a survey. It doesn't even fit with the banner. I don't run surveys on that site or any other site of mine.

I'm also a member of Maxbounty and I'm curious as to what the explanation was for redirecting your traffic. :confused:

Thanks

It will happen with all networks when people from a country that's not accepted by the offer click on your link. However, some networks will allow you to choose what offers you want to display when people from certain country get redirected, so you can choose something better than the survey.

Yes this is very common - it's just a geo redirect.

It could also be that the offer has reached it's cap for the day. Just inquire with your AM -- no need to write off the whole network.

I'll try to be a little clearer. Basically you have two options:

Option 1
* All users see the same generic banner based around some type of offer (say win an iPad)
* All clicks get redirected to your geo script
* Depending on their location, users gets redirected to an offer that's available in their country.
* The problem with this is that it may be very hard to find the same offer available in all countries

Option 2
* Setup an OpenX ad server
* Setup different ads which get shown based on users location
* Each ad directs to it's own offer
* Each ad can be targeted to your demographic but can be totally unrelated to each other so no problem about finding the same offer available in all countries.

There is no "altering of the code from Maxbounty". It's simply that the user gets sent to different Maxbounty offers depending on their geo. Is that any clearer?

It is a little bit, but I am a female and not techie... Can anyone please help me with a good blueprint or strategy on redirects here, I would be very grateful!

1. Which offers to redirect (evey single one?)
2. What type of offers to redirect to

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sure.

Man from France clicks on a banner that leads to > Canadian based offer. The system reads the IP and does not recognize the French IP as based in Canada, so it automatically redirects to whatever the "default" offer has been set to by the network. In this case, a FREE survey.

Man from Canada clicks on the same banner leading to > Canadian offer. IP is recognized and man is led directly to that offer.
