Hey guys,

I have a really awesome FB fan page. High engagement, almost 1 million likes, but almost 650k are from Germany. I tried running some international dating offers, but the Geo was shitty and all my German fans were upset when they got directed to an offer in Swedish. Suggestions? I blew away 1300 clicks and I'm not real eager to do it again.
 


There are some pretty good German Dating and Gaming offers out at the moment. Adsimilis would be a good chance for either niche.
 
DON'T MONETIZE THE HEN THAT LAYS GOLDEN CHICKS (SIC).

If you keep posting offers, and if enough people reports it, you will first lose the right to update on FB, and then the page.

Never send traffic to an offer from a FB page directly.
Don't even send it to a LP, or a Flog in a manner that looks like you making a fool of someone. Some people do take the time to report.

The best is to create new pages related to the offer, and then first send traffic to your page from your main page. FB fans are very selective. Post anything that is offensive to a few and they report.
Damn it, they even reported me for making Republican Jokes..
And religion too..
Once u have a captive fanbase, send traffic to a Website/Blog that has the offer.

It is very easy to lose a fan page.

I started a case study of sorts and in the past 2 weeks I created more than 10 pages all from a Motherlode. I am trying to negotiate with the owners of a few active pages.. well they don't seem to interested
 
Building on top of what blogspotter mentioned. Facebook frowns on monetization of fan pages. The smartest angle is to play is setup an actual website that is relevant to the fan page. Have a email subscription field somewhere noticeable on the page, and start capturing these leads. Once your offers are ready and your newsletters as well, you would email them for the $$$$.

This is the best route if you want your page to stick around while you make green.
 
When you're not dealing with country specific traffic source you need to geo segment it.

Just use Maxmind's database and send US visitors to US offers, Germans to German offers etc.. Takes 5 minutes to implement.

Code: 
<?php

     $offer1 = "http://USoffer.com";
     $offer2 = "http://DEoffer.com";

     
     include("geoip.inc");
     include("geoipcity.inc");
     include("geoipregionvars.php");
 
     $gi = geoip_open("GeoLiteCity.dat", GEOIP_STANDARD);
 
     $rsGeoData = geoip_record_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
     $country = $rsGeoData->country_code;
     geoip_close($gi);

          
               if ($country == "US") {                        
                       header("location: ".$offer1);
                       exit ();
                              }
               if ($country == "DE") {                        
                       header("location: ".$offer2);
                       exit ();
                              }
?>

I would try to get them into an opt-in. I have some good success with german traffic and opt-ins. The only problem I see there is to come up with an angle on your page to actually get them SIGNED into your list...Maybe something like exclusive news about your "insert fb here" will only be posted via email so they HAVE to sign up to stay on top...
