Which countries fall into which GEO tiers?

So I keep seeing it recommended to focus on tier 2 and 3 geos first but how do I know which is which? is it just going to a network and cheapest geos are 3 and so on? Or is there a list or region we consider tier 2 and 3?

Thanks!

Hello,

here is an article about why it's not a good idea to start in Tier-1 GEOs : https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...ve-TIER-1-GEOs

I posted some list of GEOs here on STM already, but can't find it now, so check out this article on my blog instead : http://www.matuloo.com/why-newbies-s...e-tier-1-geos/

Actually, we don't even need to fixate on which geos belong in which tier.

One simple gauge to use:

Developing countries usually = cheap traffic + low-payout offers, so better for newbies.

Developed countries usually = expensive traffic + high-payout offers, not-so-good for newbies.

Hey!

This is really relative, as Amy has already mentioned - there is no need to differentiate it. Besides, you can find really different lists of countries belonging to one tier or another, and it confuses.

However, for beginners we normally give this list from Tribal Adnetwork as it gives a common understanding of what your AM means by suggesting you to work with Tier-2/3 countries

Hope it helps!
