GeoIP filter for pay-per-click
With pay-per-click compensation, you can use the GeoIP module to restrict compensated clicks to specific countries or regions. This ensures that only clicks from relevant markets (e.g. DACH region) are compensated.
The GeoIP database is maintained by QUALITYCLICK and updated regularly. Contact info@qualityclick.com for activation and configuration of country filters.
