- Geo-gating
Showing or hiding content based on the visitor’s region — the broader category that includes geo-blocking. AffilFinder geo-gates a sponsored offer overlay so only out-of-area visitors see it.
- Geo-detection
Determining a visitor’s country (and optionally region) from their IP address and request signals. AffilFinder resolves geo at the edge for low-latency decisions.
- Blocked traffic
Visitors who land on a publisher’s site but cannot access the requested content because they’re outside the licensed service area. Without monetization this traffic is wasted; with AffilFinder it generates pay-per-click revenue.
See geo-blocking in the AffilFinder app.
