PRO2 Bonus Hits to end

As from March 15, 2016, we will be suspending our "daily bonus hits" for PRO2 members. This offer has proven to be impractical.

To compensate, PRO2 monthly subscription will be reduced from $6 to $5.

As from today (February 15, 2016) new PRO2 membership is reduced to $5 a month.

GeoPro2 Main features overview

Link Rotation Traffic is distributed between different sites in any proportion.

Geo-Targeting Visitors are redirected to different sites depending on the country they are visiting from.

Frequency-Cap Visitors are redirected to different sites depending on if they have visited before.

Combining features Link rotation, geo-targeting and frequency-capping can be combined to create powerful redirects that get the best from all your visitors.

Introducing GeoPro2's New Smart Filter

The Smart Filter prevents a visitor from being redirected to a page on the same domain. For example: someone surfing EasyHits4U will not be redirected to www.easyhits4u.com if that is the instruction of the redirect.

Instead they are redirected to your GeoPro2 referral link (geopro2.com/?ref=###) giving you the opportunity to earn some cash from new members.

Redirecting an EasyHits4U surfer to the EasyHits4U promo page is a wasted hit because they must already be a member.

The Smart Filter is available to upgraded members.

Why use a link rotator with traffic exchanges?

Many traffic exchanges offer link rotators, but they tend to be very basic and often carry branding. If you're serious about surfing traffic exchanges, you should consider using a fully-featured link rotator to manage all your traffic through.

You only need one link rotator, in fact, that's the point - to manage and monitor your traffic sources in one convenient place. Here are some good reasons to use GeoPro2, or indeed any other fully-featured link rotator.

1. With GeoPro2, you can set up just 1 link for all the traffic exchanges you participate in, and manage them from one place. Otherwise, each website you want to promote has to be set up individually on each traffic exchange.

2. You can track all passing traffic from one place, making comparing the performance of traffic exchanges much easier. Otherwise, you have to regularly log in to each traffic exchange to monitor its performance.

3. You can also add or change which websites you promote at any time without logging in.

4. You can apply geo-target and capping conditions to all your traffic exchanges, whether or not they have those features. Also bear in mind that many traffic exchanges require an upgrade for geo-target or frequency-capping features.

By combining geo-target and frequency-capping options, and guided by the stats, there are many strategies you can employ to get the best from your traffic. These I will discuss in a future article.

How to test geo-targeting

You can set up a redirect so that a visitor in France sees a different website to a visitor in Germany. But can you test it without actually being in either country?

Fortunately you can use a free proxy server, or a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Google "free proxy server France" and you'll see many you can try. Simply enter your GeoPro2 redirect URL (eg. http://www.geopro2/###), and it should bounce you to the site for France according to your redirect's instructions. When you use a French proxy server, you are routing through a computer with a French IP address, so GeoPro2 thinks you are a French visitor and redirects you accordingly.

A better, and less clumsy solution (although not usually free) is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

VPNs are often used to circumvent regional restrictions (geoblocking). For example, journalists often use VPNs to get around state-sponsored censorship. VPNs are also useful for recreational purposes, for example, connecting to a British VPN to watch the BBC iPlayer outside the UK. Because you are routed through the VPN, it looks as if you are just another British visitor.

We use HideMyAss, but there are many other VPNs also worth considering. With HideMyAss, you can test your GeoPro2 redirect from locations all around the world.

Using GeoPro2 link rotator

It's all about managing your traffic to make the best of the hits you've earned surfing traffic exchanges, or the traffic you buy, or even the few clicks from a banner exchange you participate in.

The most basic setup is simply to monitor your traffic. This is arguably the most important reason for using GeoPro2. Stats show where your traffic comes from (previous website and country), and whether visitors are 'unique' (number of times they return in a 24 hour period).

Armed with this information, you can focus your efforts on the traffic sources which are most productive.

GeoPro2 offers a lot more. You can split your traffic between websites. This is great for promoting many websites, or A/B testing pages if you are a site owner.

GeoPro2 allows multiple URLs from 1 redirect.

With GeoPro2, you can redirect visitors depending on the country they are visiting from. For example, if you are promoting a Clickbank product that is most suitable for a US audience, you can redirect non-US visitors to a different website, perhaps a traffic exchange where the geography of potential members is less critical.

Geo-targeting at GeoPro2

You can also frequency-cap your traffic - limit the views of a webpage for any one visitor. There are 2 popular strategies people follow with frequency-capping.

1. To 'guide' a visitor on their return visits - for example, a visitor sees the homepage, but on their second visit they see the registration page instead.

Frequency-capping at GeoPro2

2. To show different websites on return visits - so instead of showing a regular visitor the same promotion over and over again, you can vary what he sees. This is particularly useful for traffic sources with low unique visits, usually a sign of a small active membership. Unique visit infomation can be found in GeoPro2's stats.
