Geo Traffic Trading

[admin]

I understand the need for Geo Traffic Trading as some sites trade according to Geo. I will do a study on how to implement it on ArcadeBB V4.

If you have any insight, do share with us.

Btw, found a website that provide free IP to country database and codes:

Check it out.

ArcadeBB you should consider to move away from Wordpress and start your own script. Wordpress is nice but if you make it your own script you can earn money from it too, even if it's 5 dollars everyone would buy it.

Geo traffic trading would be awesome!

I have both ATS and ArcadeBB V3, actually it's working fine and there is also plug-in named AIO Seo Pack i can say WP is cool. I bought ATS after that i was unhappy with my trading in gmx5.com(ofcourse it's not ArcadeBB v2's mistake, i was newbie too). BUT i found the solution of my mistake on the google and it was my hosting fault..I'm using two ArcadeBB v3 now and it saved my 150$
The only hard parts are installing (for newbies, i learnt a lot of things from ArcadeBB) and changing theme's(default themes are cool but it's hard when you want unique one) You can use your 75$ for advertising if you choose ArcadeBB v3. And finally creating new script after this one, isn't necessary while you have a chance to get backlink in too much sites for developer (ArcadeBB). Since geo mode is 75$ for ATS, we will have too many members in there i think. Total saving should be 165$ with mochi script

Future arcade trade traffic is geo trade. I knew it six months ago (because adult sites trading on geo), which only began to read arcade related forums. I then asked the question to the ATS owner about geo the trade, trade on productivity and he told me then that it was not necessary(Btw, do you know, that arcadelady and others big sites uses a heavily modified ATS?). Then I realized that the best arcade script will be in the future. And now I see and believe that ArcadeBB V () has all chances to become the best arcade trade script with really rich feature.
Allow me to continue the thought stereotape. For me ArcadeBB theme was not difficult to install. I have a site on the V2 and I managed to make the layout unique, although I do not creativity and ability in web design. Let me note that the site Y8mini.com is a shining example that with ArcadeBB theme you have the opportunity to create a succesfull trade site with lots of traffic. Plus, the script is free.
I agree with stereotape, that in near future we will have plenty active members on forum.

Geo3kant, I am still learning, so it will not be in the near future if I ever want to make a new arcade script.

stereotape, I am still learning. Hopefully I can make it easier.

4ks, Thanks for your kind comments. I know some sites have started GEO trading. Asshwin has the geo mod and is looking at $130.

It seems that for Geo traffic trading, traffic are divided into 3 tiers.
Example from bannerflux.com:

Quote:Tier 1: (Note: The most traffic comes from US and UK)
Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, United States, United Kingdom.

Tier 2:
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden

Tier 3:
All other counties.

So if a partner send you 1 tier 1 traffic, you return 1 tier 1 traffic.

I think I will let you define which country is tier 1,2,3 as you might disagree with what bannerflux.com define.

You should try to make it country specific too, for instance if i would run a Dutch (dot NL) site (my home country) i could select i want to trade traffic that are Dutch/Belgium. This will be difficult because you will be able to select one country but perhaps you want more.

PS another reason to start an own script, i think Wordpress specialy for arcades has too much stuff into it that lags/slows it down, wordpress is slow and can make cpu's run crazy specialy on a shared hosting. And updates from WP make it hard, theme/plugin might not work.

But i know you are learning and doing a good job but maybe in the future it could be a standalone so it will be profitable to... because only air and the sun are free in this world

You said if you run a dutch site and want to trade dutch/belgium traffic. What about the rest of the traffic?

Currently, I am setting up a 1 node VPS with Debian Optimized+NGINX+MySQL+PHP+Wordpress+MemCache+XCache+W3 Total Cache. My purpose is test ArcadeBB V4 and see if the combination is one of the best for WordPress.

Do you have a regular job aswell or do you live of your websites? If not of your sites how do you find the time you're doing great work!

[admin]

No I don't have a full time job. I enjoy what I am doing and also the freedom.
