Hi,

I run Adsense as primary, but they display PSA on all my asia traffic (95%). What program/network do you use for asian traffic?

Most free webhosts don't, they either block it from their websites or just don't accept Asian users which reduces the traffic.

I deny all asian traffic via firewall and if they do manage to get threw I just deny them on signup. 85% of my problems come from people living in an asian country so I just don't deal with it.

You don't even allow asian users to visit sites you host? That seems like a bad move.

For instance, buddy of mine lives on a military base in Japan, internet access on the base is provided by a Japanese ISP, and has asian IP blocks.

Generally its poorer Asian nations.

Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea (S. Korea is only allowed by some) are usually not much trouble. :)

Australia and New Zealand are not Asian countries. Anyway, for my case, it's usually China and Vietam users giving me problems. My sign-up process is manual and screened personally and I noticed quite a number of China users sending me their desired username and password and expect free hosting. It's frustrating especially when I am Asian myself.

yeah. It would be great if networks pay the same for asian traffic as US and European :)

Actually when I say that it is really only meant as Asia/Pacific IP blocks. See http://www.apnic.net/ for more information on what I was talking about. ;)

Ah, I see. Sorry for the mistake there.
