If you run ads for affiliate programs that don’t take offers from particular countries, you may be losing money if your site continues to get hit by such (“no monetization”) traffic.  This problem is particularly bad for sites that host their own videos.  Cost of upkeep > revenue = Fail.

One good way to block unproductive traffic is to use country-based blocking.  You get a list of IPs and load it onto your .htaccess file.  Whenever a user from a banned country tries to access your site, they are blocked.  BlockACountry.Com does this real well.  Visit them here
