<b>Tier-1 geos pay more — so why run tier-3?</b>

<b>Tier-1 geos pay more — so why run tier-3?</b>

<b>Q:</b> Should I only target tier-1 countries (US, UK, etc.) for the big payouts?

A: Tier-1 pays the most per conversion but costs the most to reach — traffic there is expensive and fiercely contested. Tier-2 and tier-3 geos pay less per conversion, but traffic is cheap, competition is thinner, and volume is huge. Your margin can be wider on a $0.50 conversion than a $15 one.

The right answer depends on your traffic cost, not the payout label. If you can buy tier-3 clicks at a tenth of tier-1 prices and the offer converts there, the math often favors the 'cheap' geo.

Match geo to where your traffic is actually cheap and the offer actually accepts it.

Short version: tier isn't quality — it's a payout-vs-cost tradeoff. Run where your margin is widest.
