All together there are supposed to be fifty (50) countries. I’m assuming possibly that other providers might have a similar list. I’d assume (pretty sure) that Google accepts a lot more countries since AdWords is of course #1 in online advertising.
All of this is important because of the whole situation with Ask.com and the Google sub-feed. People are starting to take a look at their traffic and want to make sure that they get credit for every visitor. If you’re getting a ton of traffic from an unsupported country you are just bleeding in lost revenue and must find a way to monetize it… the problem is now finding these domains that are getting tons of unsupported traffic. If you have a portfolio of even just a hundred domains it’s going to be a tough task!
What I’d suggest if you do have a domain that is getting traffic from an unsupported country and you have it parked, monetize it using AdSense. I’m going to write a little about how to figure out where your traffic is coming from tomorrow. It’s a lot of work if you have a ton of domains, but might be worth it!
Notes: Remember that the list of countries might be a little off. It was mentioned that those are the countries that he knows of.
