UK webmaster with US visitors

I need advice please

[jaames]

Is there a difference between Adsense UK or US? to which you apply? Do one you get paid is USD-$$$ and other in GBP-£££?

Another Quesion
Also the same question applies to Amazon. Im from UK and my visitors are 80% from US. Do you think its wise to apply to the US Amazon?

What do you international webmasters do and chose affiliates when your visitors are mainly from another country?

It makes sense that I should be paid in £££ and go for the Amazon.co.uk version, but the chances are my US visitors would prefer to purchase from a US based, Amazon.com, which means getting paid in $$$?

Would the amount received mean the same in the long run?

Please help me reach my decision, how do the rest of you handle this?

Thanks.

If I were you, I'd sign up with the US-based Amazon.com. If most of your visitors are from the US than they will be more likely to buy on the US site.

If you go with thew UK Amazon, then US visitors might leave and go to the US Amazon, and you won't get any commision.

As for the Adsense question. I don't know which (the US or UK) is better.

As far as I know adsense is just the same for UK and US...does it not just redirect...I am sure it does. You see revenue in $ pays into bank in £.

I am a UK publisher with 90% US traffic and so same problems. With Amazon just use both and either geo-target the info or display both.

The real problem comes when you buy say content from a UK company, then the exchange rate can be a pain.

Several of my websites receive a large percentage of their traffic from the USA and Canada as well as the UK where I am based. I have signed up for the US, UK and Canadian Amazon programs and display links to all three sites for all the products I sell.

My adsense account shows all reports in US dollars but pays into my bank account using GBP by way of electronic funds transfer. I don't think there is a separate UK version of Adsense.
