But Topic starter said he was interested in best converting not highest number of surfers.
I wouldn't put most of those geo's anywhere near best converting.
I think many underestimate the value of offering content/site in local languages.
Especially in dating/webcamsex with live interaction the conversion greatly improves.
We even see this simply by directing UK traffic to UK webcam models instead of US models. Where a language barrier isn't a factor at all.
Then there's the SEO factor, even if many people speak English you miss out on search traffic if you only offer content in english. And ranking for converting search terms sometimes is less competitive in local languages
