Newsflash - the internet is borderless!

This little gem of wisdom seems to sail over the heads of many affiliate marketers and affiliate managers who insist that their affiliates be from a particular country.

To put it bluntly, that is moronic.

An affiliate in the UK is just as capable of driving Australian traffic to Australian websites as any Australian affiliate, for example.

I own sites that get predominantly Canadian traffic! Most of my sites have predominantly US traffic.

I therefore find it very frustrating to be excluded from program based on my geographical location.

I find it doubly frustrating that the folks at Azoogle don’t realise (or care) that some affiliates cannot see the landing pages of the offers they are promoting, because Azoogle will only show you the landing page via your own affiliate link. If the program is only paying out on US traffic (which is fair enough) then any affiliate in another country will be redirected to the site of another international offer.

How are you supposed to promote an affiliate program when you can’t even see the Merchant’s site? (CPA Empire fixed this problem about a month back).

Well, here’s a tip. Use a proxy IP.

Just go over to The Cloaker and type any URL (or affiliate link) into their tool and you will now be surfing via a US proxy. That means that when you go to a website, you will register as a US visitor on their stats and it also works to be able to see landing pages of US only affiliate programs in Azoogle (and any other antiquated affiliate system).

A whole new world of offers opens up!
