ok - maybe I was bit hard on some countries - some do convert in 1/100.000 :grrr:
And that usual means that their follow citizens, who do not signup, use more in bandwidth on traffic sites, tgps and paysites tours, then what the paysites make in the entire lifetime of the rare country member.
Looking at some signup and dialer stats , then I will be very interested in hearing from anybody who have converted traffic from one or more of these countries in the last 1-2 months (oh by converting I mean they actual paid for something - not signing up for free email subscriptions etc.):
Albania
Algeria
Argentina
Azerbaijan
Bahrain
Belarus
Belize
Bolivia
Brazil
Bulgaria
Chile
China
Colombia
Costa Rica
Croatia
Czech Republic
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
Egypt
El Salvador
Estonia
Faroe Islands
Guatemala
Honduras
Hungary
Iceland
India
Indonesia
Iraq
Israel
Jamaica
Jordan
Kuwait
Latvia
Lebanon
Libyan
Lithuania
Macedonia
Malaysia
Morocco
Nicaragua
Oman
Pakistan
Panama
Paraguay
Peru
Philippines
Poland
Puerto Rico
Qatar
Romania
Saudi Arabia
Serbia
Slovakia
Slovenia
South Africa
Syrian
Thailand
Trinidad and Tobago
Turkey
Ukraine
United Arab Emirates
Uruguay
Uzbekistan
Venezuela
Viet Nam
Yemen
Zimbabwe
Thats currently my most worthless list - they count 15-17% of the traffic (China being the biggest with ½ of that traffic). If I add the countries which do convert, but does it very poorly, then its soon 25%...
Yes, ads, tours, content, language, processing are all key elements in getting good conversions, however after many tries, then I comming to the conclusion that traffic from these countries simply will not convert.
Could be that I´m wrong and those surfers from Yemen are making killer conversions on other sites, if so then please let me know
