====== Good, normal and bad countries ======

~~NOTOC~~

Demographic quality of the traffic is being measured by the "GNB module", based on the ''country groups'' and their ''weights''.

===== 1. Detect potential cheaters =====

You can decide a certain trade is sending you to much "bad" traffic in return for your "good" traffic. Don't decide a trade is a potential cheater too fast - if you only receive e.g. 10 ''Raw'' hits a day, they might be from "bad" countries one day and from "good" ones the next.

{{:te3:tut_step_1.png?nolink|}} Navigate to the [[te3:overview|Overview]] menu. There you can find ''GNB graph'' for each individual trade, system trade and totals. This graph is based strictly on the amount of incoming raws received from each country group.
{{:te3:gnb23.png?nolink |}} \\ \\ \\ {{:te3:tut_step_2.png?nolink|}} You can also enable ''Quality'' column (use {{:te3:customize_button1.png?nolink|}} [[te3:interface_manager|Interface manager]]). Quality ratio is calculated based on the amount of incoming raws received from each country group and their weights. By default, GNB quality ratio is NOT included in the [[te3:algorithms|algorithms]] for outgoing traffic distribution and it serves for informative purposes only.  \\ \\ \\  \\ \\

===== 2. Include GNB quality ratio in the algorithms for outgoing traffic distribution =====
<WRAP caution>We don't recommend enabling this option, unless you have very specific requirements. If you are considering it, read this chapter carefully and make sure you understand it.</WRAP>

''GNB quality ratio'' is calculated based on the amount of incoming raws received from each ''country group'' and their ''weights''. Navigate to the [[te3:overview|Overview]] menu and use {{:te3:customize_button1.png?nolink|}} [[te3:interface_manager|Interface manager]] to enable ''GNB quality ratio'' column. Higher ratio represents better demographic quality of the traffic.

By default, ''GNB quality ratio'' is NOT included in the [[te3:algorithms|algorithms]] for outgoing traffic distribution (strongly recommended) and it serves for informative purposes only.

If the ''Include'' option is checked (not recommended), more traffic will be sent to trades with higher "GNB quality ratios" (demographic quality) and less traffic to your "valuable" (quantity) trades. Traffic on your site will decrease, but the demographic quality will increase. The problem is, you just can't have BOTH.

===== Select country groups =====

There are three different preset country groups: ''Good'', ''Normal'' and ''Bad''. If you believe that some countries should be in different groups, you can simply drag them from one group to another (use CTRL for multiple selection). To proceed click {{:te3:button_update.png?nolink|}} button.

===== Network sync =====


[[te3:network_sync|Network sync]] function allows you to copy all settings from the "Good, normal, bad" pop-up to the other sites in your [[te3:network|network]]. To proceed, select sites from the multiple select box and click {{:te3:button_update.png?nolink|}} button.
