Speed Matters

A quick round trip is crucial in affiliate marketing. Multiple studies have shown a direct correlation between the speed at which the user gets to their intended destination after a click and the conversion rate. GeoRiot is committed to the fact that fractions of a second matter.

Average processing time for all requests, across the board, is under 100 ms (a tenth of a second)
Requests that don't need translation are processed in under 1ms
Cached requests are processed in under 10ms
The GeoRiot redirect is typically as fast, if not faster, then the average affiliate network redirect

Integrating GeoRiot

The GeoRiot service is a redirect service that is used in addition to each of the geographically specific affiliate programs for a brand. A client enables the GeoRiot service by modifying their original affiliate links on their website or in their app to reroute through the GeoRiot service. When redirecting the link through GeoRiot, it is translated and encoded specifically for that user and their geographically correct storefront.

When approved into additional programs, you can quickly update your GeoRiot account to include the account data and start generating commissions from sales in that country. Learn more about how to add GeoRiot links, modify your existing affiliate links, and add new programs.
