Have you ever checked your Google analytics tool and analyzed your traffic? You might have noticed that readers that arrive at your website are from various countries, use different languages, currencies etc. Isn’t it?
Now, you are redirecting all your users to the .com default Amazon page and losing out the commissions that you should be making from sales made by other than U.S.A readers.
The question is how can you cater your readers with content that is based on their geographical location, on their language and currencies etc. ?
The answer to it is Geo-targeting technique.
Geo-targeting is a technique to show different content to readers based on their geographical location. This technique can be used for PPC campaigns as well as for organic traffic.
For example: If you are buying anything from Amazon from India from an affiliate link, the prices would be in INR and if you looking for the same product from Canada, prices would be in Canadian dollars by visiting the same affiliate link.
Geo-targeting enables you to target your readers based on their location which ultimately helps you to increase your conversions and increase your affiliate commissions.
This technique is popularly used by Amazon affiliates as well.
Today, I am going to share a step-by-step guide to getting started with Geo-targeting using EasyAzon WordPress Plugin
