What is Tiers in affiliate marketing
All countries in the world are conventionally divided into 3 groups (Tiers). Tier 1 includes the most attractive countries for an advertiser. Tier 3 combines developing countries.
Economists classified three categories of countries: developed, developing, and third world. Their evaluation is based primarily on the economic development of the country. Affiliates divide countries into Tiers in a different manner. The focus was on the solvency of buyers and their average income.
One more point was also important: online payment. At first, it was only available in highly developed countries like the USA, Canada, Western Europe, and Japan. Online payments and cards were a novelty in other countries, but affiliate marketing was flourishing there. There are now many payment methods available to almost every part of the world: credit cards, Internet banking, SMS payments, etc.
Also, the political situation influences getting into a particular group in the country and the peculiarities of its laws.
All these characteristics make it possible to divide countries into 3 main groups or Tiers.
