What is Geo Targeting?

• Geo Targeting is the ability to only allow traffic from specific countries to go to specific Offers. For example, if your Offer only accepted traffic from the United States, through Geo Targeting you could make sure that the only traffic making it to the landing page of that Offer is traffic that is coming from a United States IP Address.

Where can I set this up?

1. Open up an Offer Card
2. Click the Traffic Sub Tab - This will default to the Targeting Section
3. Select "Geo" in the drop down
4. By default, all countries are allowed. To change the Geo Targeting from the default "All Countries Allowed" - click on the "Click to change" hyperlink to override the default settings.

How do I add Geo Targeting to my Offers?

1. By default, all countries are allowed. To change the Geo Targeting from the default "All Countries Allowed" - click on the "Click to change" hyperlink to override the default settings.
2. Once you click on the hyperlink "Click to change" - you will notice that the buttons located under the "Allowed" column are red, meaning that traffic from those countries are NOT allowed.
3. To allow traffic from one or more countries, select the check box to the left of the country you want to allow.
4. Once you have chosen the country &/or countries that you would like to allow, click on the "Allow Selected" button. The red dot under the "Allowed" column will then change to green, meaning that traffic from that country &/or countries ARE allowed.

• A contract is setup for
  
  each allowed country (provided they are to be tracked separately)
• Geo-targeting is applied on your offer contract
  • Even though the idea is that your affiliate will only be trafficking the main contract, you should apply geotargeting on all contracts.
• All 3 countries are allowed and redirected to contracts of itself (when setting this up you'll notice that your redirect list is limited to internal contracts)
