Do you bother going after euro traffic, is it something you have designed specifically for, or are working on?

Do you run dialers for european traffic?

Our 4th biggest market in terms of traffic is germany these days.. not sure why, it just happened that way.. dialers and credit cards work well in most of europe..

What I really want to read is some decent dialogue on the reasons why some of us ignore the potential of the european market, while others go headlong into it, knowing its full value...


Presumably most of you have thought, or been reminded of the value of different markets for your products, yet many have not bothered doing anything about it.

For those that have, can we get some testament to the benefits, and for those that have definatively decided against, reasons why....

Hehe,

I really dont mind that most of the US webmasters have ignored the emerging foreign markets as much as they have done in the past it basically means there more of that $$$ for me :)

Dialers are NOT the only option to send your foreign traffic to and, to be honest, if thats what you are doing and are in that mindset keep doing it PLEASE ;)

The fact that there are now enough sponsors with site translated into the majority of foreign languages means that while you are still peddling those shit dialers to your foreign traffic myself and a handful of other webmasters are earning in excess of $40 per sign up with conversion ratios in the 1:40 range :)

If anyone is interested in the foreign markets then by all means feel free to head across to http://www.europeanwebmasters.com which was a webmaster resource site i set up around 2 years ago dealing with the foreign markets before anyone had even considered them.

Also, if you are a sponsor who might be interested in having your sites translated into virtually any language globally please feel free to drop an email to lee@adult-site-translation.com and i would be happy to help you out on that front.

Regards,

Lee

Ditto on cathedras program, if you don't know what you have, signing up and pasting their code will tell you exactly what you have.

Lee,

I certainly dont think that dialers are the only solution, by any means, however they have their value, like any processing method.

Given your extensive knowledge of the european market, maybe you might be able to help some of the newbies with some of your observations....
