How to block Turkish traffic
 

Ok, I've had it with idiots posting their emails on my site asking for photos and contact infos of pornstars there. Retards.

Anyone has Turky ip range? Or even better, whole info on how to filter out the buggers as much as possible.

Cool link, bookmarked!

yea!! no more fucking beggars

That site is brilliant.

what's the amount are You getting? a few days ago i posted here for some reason, imlive has a Turkish interface, it may work, even though i think they should use an other alternative billing method :2 cents::thumbsup

do You know i still didn't get use to Your new nick, if You didn't have this signature i maybe forget who You are :)

I don't get it. How is it brilliant to actively work on blocking a revenue source ? :error

Yeah pretty stupid. If you insist on blocking it at least give it to a webmaster who knows what to do with it.

It's not.

But everytime someone turn away a customer, its a new potential surfer to one of my own sites - so no way in hell I would help

The Broadband Household Penetration Rankings for Turkey is close to 38%, and there is 75 million people in Turkey. Anyone blocking surfers based on nationality is simply a poor webmaster who cant convert/funnel his traffic.

Cos noone in Turkey has money or credit cards....

how many turks did you convert?

...and is illegal to buy porn (islam)

get an .am domain :)

lol. had to go to wikipedia to figure that one out :)

Most turks are living in Copenhagen, so you might block Denmark as well.

Yeah, right.
Just like the illegality of drinking under 21 prevents everyone in the US from doing it.

I was in Izmir 3 weeks ago, and I've never been to a country that partied harder ;)

Well traffic can be redirected as well,not just blocked.

Here is your solution, make a site that gives free donner kebab, all of your Turkish perverts will click and go away...

Very witty :winkwink:

Don't block it, just redirect it to someone else's site who can process the hits. Even at a fraction of a cent it adds up over time as opposed to sending the hits to nowhere.

Introduce visas for your Turkish traffic ...

So where would be a good place to send this traffic? I've sent it to Password By Phone but after no sales with 10,000+ redirected clicks I'm looking for a new place to funnel all that Chinese, Turkish, UAE, Saudi, etc... traffic.

I'm Turkish and I'd definitely click that ad. Who needs porn when you can get free kebab? :1orglaugh

That .htacess will add significant load if it gets a lot of traffic, so put it as deep in
the directory structure as possible. For example, if the action goes to this URL:
/tour/comments/script/submitcomment.php

Then put the .htaccess in /tour/comments/script/ to avoid extra load caused
by processing it on other pages.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, i will never ever be surprised the ignorance level of some people here anymore, promise.

i m a Turk Adult webmaster from Istanbul Turkiye who's in this business since 2001, no wonder You can't convert shit, next time research better before You talk out of Your ass, there is no even name of any religion in Turkiye's constitution, google and wikipedia are Your friend dude, take that easy :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Shalgam suyuda lazım ;)

Any source?

The religion says it's not allowable, but the people say other wise. I wouldn't start by saying you are foolish, or dumb by blocking out the country. Just misinformed on how to deal with it. Many here have given good advice on what to do with the traffic, not to mention localizing it, or pointing it some place that does it for you.

Remember one thing. Out of all the Muslim/Islamic countries. Turkey by far is one of the most liberal...2cents

Great resource. Thank you. I'll put it on a resource list at http://www.highrevenue.com

:2 cents::thumbsup

I was being sarcastic.
As the guy above said, turkey is secular, with a very good penetration of broadband, etc.
You'd be a fool to think otherwise. They're probably more cosmopolitan than I could ever hope to be :)

I used that to block a country, however, a few seem to still get through according to google analytics.

thank god!!!

Send them to us. We can bill them. In Turkish. 8 cents per minute better that no cents per minute:2 cents:

I didn't want to start any hater debate or something, but here are the facts:

1. I get a lot of comments in Turkish language from people daily. Most of them include email, probably they want me to send them images or something. I need to delete them and it's pain in the ass
2. I checked my stats, not a single Turk every bought anything
3. I don't want to look like I have shitty traffic

And yes, I have been to Turky before. Sorry for assuming that porn is not legal there, I recently returned from UAE and everything is blocked there, so I thought something similar is in Turky.

:2 cents:

ok so,

1. yea i won't say You are not right on that one, this is classical uneducated surfer attitude, You can see world wide and they think any women out there waiting her legs opened for them.

2. a specially what i have seen from last 8 years there is huge increase for credit card using rates, 7-8 out of 10 people have credit cards, but still English speaking rate is lacking, that might be one of the main problems for English marketing.

3. about legality, there is something like that on the paper, but no one gives a fuck really.

My opinion is based of what i m seeing, a Turk most likely can sell something to an other Turk then a foreigner can, because of the language Barier and stuff like that.

on the other hand what i m seeing is, some people are buying online game and tunnel/proxy/vpn memberships.

4. why would people care what kind of traffic You have unless You don't send it to trades and can monetize it?

if You got any further questions or i can do something for You, feel free to pm me and gladly i can help :2 cents::thumbsup

edit: i didn't stereotyped surfers as uneducated, what i mean was was some uneducated people show that atitude :2 cents:

Nice retort. :thumbsup

Let me help you out... make this .htaccess file and you won't need to worry about Turkish traffic ever again

Problem solved. :thumbsup
