U.S. traffic

[Stillwell]

Hi all,
Do any affiliate programs pay for U.S. directed traffic or do the customers have to come from outside of the U.S.? Thanks.

Hey there...

Try any Rival software brand, RTG software brand or Vegas Technology, there are lots more than what I list below. Look around this site for lots of good information.

The Vegas Technology casinos "bundle" (do a search for bundling for explanation) those are the only ones listed with questionable terms, but a lot of people do very well with them.

Rival:
Superiorshare - Affiliate Guard Dog
Slotocash Affiliates - Affiliate Guard DogPantasia Affiliates - Affiliate Guard Dog

RTG:
Mainstreet Affiliates - Affiliate Guard Dog

Vegas Technology:
Best Casino Partner - Affiliate Guard Dog
Casino Coins - Affiliate Guard Dog

Ask your questions, you're among a pretty helpful crowd.

Thank you.

This may be out of line, but just thought I would let you know that if you have traffic from all over the world, but don't want to push groups that don't accept US players because you don't want to lose out on that US traffic, Rewards Affiliates offers a bounce back link which bounces your traffic from banned regions to any URL of your choice (even a competitor) so you wont lose out on it by advertising our brands.

Most affiliates use this best by having a page on their own website that says something like "Unfortunately the casino you visited does not accept players from your region. Find below a list of casinos that accept players from your region:" then a list of casinos that accept US players for example.

That way the player gets redirected back to your website and does not just click away, close a window or whatever.

If anyone needs more info on this, please feel free to send me an email Renee@RewardsAffiliates.com

Cheers

That is awesome, Renee! I didn't even know you guys did that. As soon as one of my sites is done uppdating (soon), I think I'll give you guys another run.

Thanks for that tip Renee. What would be really nice if you could make the bounce back specific for different languages.

So if I send a player to an Italian version of one of your sites and they are not allowed to play, I could then "bounce" them to another Italian landing page at a different property. -B

Personally, I don't like that kind of redirecting techniques, which can looks as manipulative to visitors to send them elsewhere as originally declared link. It's not just about 100% converting, is not?

Another point, I believe that search engines will always follow and "check" all links even if there is rel=nofollow or restrictions via robots.txt

That's a pretty good point Maxo. Maybe instead we should make a special landing page explaining the situation and offering alternatives.
