I see a lot mentioned about tier 1, 2, countries etc. for subscribers Is there a definitive list of the different tier countries. The information I have seen seems kind of fuzzy.

    1st tier countries, is a first class countries with good economics, and in which people have money to spend.

    Just look up for the list of first class countries, then narrow it to the language your emails will be, and you got your 1st tier countries list.

        As mentioned above, Joe, to find that you'll need to start from the perspective of exactly what you need the subscribers for/how you're monetizing them: a classification that's valuable and helpful to you will necessarily be dependent on that, won't it? You can't very usefully define/classify the locational demographics "in abstract".

          I am looking at this from the approach of buying and selling solo ads. I don't know if that helps or not.

            Enormously, I'd think.

            Now you've said that, people who are experienced at buying and selling solo ads will be able to answer.

            That group doesn't include me. (But my own guess is that you want heavily IM/MMO-oriented groups in English speaking countries. I would think the US would be your first "tier", other Western, English-speaking countries (Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa etc.) your second "tier", and then probably other countries where a proportion of people speak English, have decent internet access and are trying to make money will probably be your third "tier" (mostly South-East Asian - India/Philippines etc. - and some African countries, but limited to demographics with PayPal accounts?). You'll get other/better responses, though, from people who know more about it than I do.

    No.

    There can't possibly be a "universal"/"definitive" one, because the classification of subscriber-groups into location-based "tiers" depends so heavily on the marketing purposes and motivations of the businesses of the people doing the "classification".

    For some, for example, language will be a key component. For others, widespread credit-card possession will be absolutely essential. For others, cultural considerations and attitudes, income-ranges and many other demographic considerations will determine the relative values of subscribers from different locations/regions.

    Same here. It has to be, I think, given the inherent subjectivity and variability of the significance of such classifications.
