FAQ
How to choose the right GEO for traffic arbitrage?
If you’re just getting started with traffic arbitrage, Tier 2 GEOs offer the best entry point. They combine reasonable traffic costs with solid monetization potential, making them ideal for testing creatives, validating funnels, and building profitable campaigns before scaling into higher-competition markets.
Which verticals perform best in Tier 3 GEOs?
Tier 3 countries usually work well for high-volume, low-CPC verticals. Nutra, mobile subscriptions, and Android apps consistently deliver strong results thanks to cheap traffic and fast data accumulation. These GEOs are perfect for rapid testing and quick optimization cycles.
Is pairing support available for offers, creatives, and traffic sources?
Yes. 3SNET managers help you build the right combinations for each GEO — aligning the offer with the most effective traffic source, funnel type, and creative angle. This kind of support saves time and helps new media buyers reach a profitable setup faster.
Which traffic sources are most effective for Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 GEOs?
Tier 1 markets typically perform best with Google Ads due to stronger purchasing power, higher intent, and more stable conversions. For Tier 2 and Tier 3, channels like TikTok Ads, Push traffic, and In-App placements are more cost-efficient, allowing you to test aggressively and scale without overspending.
What should you consider when launching traffic in a new GEO?
Successful GEO expansion requires adapting your approach to the local market. Creative assets and landing pages should be fully localized, payment methods must match regional expectations, and messaging should reflect the cultural mindset of the audience. It’s also important to understand each platform’s moderation rules to avoid delays and rejected campaigns.
