You might be interested if you can control traffic based on geographic location - specifically, whether you can limit or log traffic from certain countries. This is especially relevant for campaigns targeting specific regions or when compliance with local laws is required. For example, you may want to log traffic/conversions only from the US.
How Location Settings Work
In our system, controlling traffic by location typically involves two aspects:
Redirect Traffic from Specific Countries:
When you set a country (e.g., the US) for an offer, the system will redirect traffic only from that country to the offer’s landing page. Traffic originating from other countries, like China, will not reach the offer if the country is restricted. This is useful for campaigns targeting local markets or when the advertiser only accepts traffic from certain regions.For redirect traffic, the setting is on our side, so if you would have only the US set as the location, then the rest of countries will not get to the offer landing page.
Logging and Converting Traffic:
For direct traffic, it is a setting on our side but only after conversions are created, since the system is not able to block a user using the link from a different country, but it is able to block conversions when they get created. Therefore, if the country is not specified, the conversion will not be created.
Practical Use Cases
Regional Campaigns:
If an e-commerce store only ships within the US, they typically want to avoid traffic from other countries. Setting the location restriction ensures only US-based visitors are directed to the offer.Traffic Filtering and Quality Control:
By limiting or logging traffic from specific countries, advertisers can improve campaign quality and reduce fraudulent or irrelevant clicks.
