So I'm a total lurker here but did a little experiment a few days ago and, reading this thread, thought it might be useful to post. Even if it's just so that someone can point out some errors in my method!

I used 3 sites over the course of about 5 hours: SM, MFC and naked. I've been camming on all but SM for about 5 months, SM for about a week. SM made me the most money per hour than I've ever made but when I started reading about the whole affiliate thing on here over the past week it kinda started freaking me out and sparked said experiment. I signed on each site on a computer then tried to find myself on a separate laptop (with safari, Firefox and IE, each with and without a proxy and through an "anon site") PC (same as laptop,) iPhone, jailbroken iPhone with an anonymous browser and my iPad.
Results were: I could NOT find myself on MFC except when using a computer with either an "anon site" or through a proxy. SM I could find myself on EVERY device except for the computers using regular browsing. On naked I only found myself using the computer's via a foreign proxy and on my jailbroken iPhone.
This obviously could differ day-to-day or by the proxies used, or the state or the country, etc., etc., etc. BUT it definitely dissuaded me from continuing to use SM. Considering the HUGE amount of money that I made there, especially over this past weekend, I'm pretty damned disappointed...but thought I should share my efforts to figure this whole geo-blocking thing out.
