Geo & Device Targeting: Maximise EPC by Filtering Low-Quality Traffic

The Problem With Untargeted Traffic

Affiliate offers have strict GEO restrictions and often pay significantly different rates per country tier. Sending Tier-3 traffic to a Tier-1 offer does not just waste budget — it can trigger fraud flags and cause your affiliate manager to pause your account.

Setting Up Multi-Layer Targeting in Your Flow

CyberlogerTDS evaluates filters in a fixed priority order. Understanding this order lets you build efficient rules without redundancy:

  1. IP whitelist check (always routed to offer)
  2. Known bot IP database
  3. VPN / proxy ASN check
  4. Bot user-agent check
  5. Warmup counter
  6. Click-limit per IP
  7. Geo (country) filter
  8. Device / OS / browser filter
  9. Language / timezone filter

Practical Targeting Example

For a US-only nutraceutical offer targeting desktop buyers:

  • allowed_countries: ["US"]
  • allowed_devices: ["desktop"]
  • allowed_os: ["Windows","macOS"]
  • allowed_browsers: ["Chrome","Firefox","Edge"]
  • allowed_languages: ["en","en-US"]
  • filter_vpn: enabled

All traffic that fails any of these conditions is silently routed to your white page — no 404, no error, no suspicion.

Monitoring EPC After Filter Changes

After tightening filters, watch your safe_clicks vs total_clicks ratio in the Flows table. A ratio below 20% usually means your source traffic quality is poor. A ratio above 80% on a well-targeted campaign is a healthy sign before scaling.
