Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far.

What I'm mostly interested in are suggestions for actual places to send traffic that a sponsor won't accept. I could send them all to Fonz and see how he likes having an immigrant ghetto who can't pay for anything in Fonztown.

I know that I can rotate through a variety of places by pointing the link to my own page and redirecting from there, but my question is still "what would you do with traffic from those countries that won't be accepted by paysites/billing companies, etc?"

I'm guessing that the traffic from those same countries may be useless to many other sponsors too. I mean traffic from countries with no way to buy porn, or countries where the scam ratios are too high, or for a variety of other reasons. So sending that traffic back into my own sites doesn't seem like the best idea if my sites are only going to wind up sending those surfers out to another sponsor who won't convert the traffic due to their own list of rejected countries.

I got one suggestion in private to send those surfers to some Toplists sites where the incoming hits will be counted and help raise my links or banners to the top of the Toplists. I'm not sure I'd like that if I was the owner of the Toplist, but evidently more than a few people do exactly this with their less-desirable surfers.

So I'm still looking for feedback and ideas on where the undesirable surfers could be sent that will do some good, instead of feeding them back into the network and sending them off to another sponsor who doesn't want them either.

Ideas..?

It is a shitty thing to do, but it is not the toplist owners who will object, but the other people on the toplist, as the toplist owners will simply send most of it on to them.

However, although I have never tried dumping shit traffic on a toplist, way back when I tried some geo IP testing I found that toplists send a lot of Russian/Chinese/ETC clicks, so a lot of people must be doing this.
