I would like to start first by reiterating what others have written before me, inasmuch as it is always best to start with what you know... your home country. You already know your country's language, if it is not English, your country's culture, your country's economics, and so forth.
Beyond the scope of your country, to best determine which countries are the best ones to advertise in, I look at it from two perspectives: 1) The top 10 countries based on sign-ups; 2) The top 10 countries based on activity.
I think most are inclined to only look at the top countries for signups, but what good is it to your to go and get 1000 signups from a particular country is 0 are active? That is why it is also good habit to look at those countries which have the most active affiliates. "Work with the workers".
At time of writing this, here are the stats for both perspectives:
Top countries for signups
1) India
2) United States
3) Serbia
4) Philippines
5) United Kingdom
6) Pakistan
7) South Africa
8) Nigeria
9) Bosnia
10) United Arab Emirates
Top countries for activity
1) India
2) United States
3) Philippines
4) Pakistan
5) Nigeria
6) South Africa
7) Serbia
8) Bangladesh
9) Indonesia
10) Canada
Based on these two lists, India, the United States and the Philippines would be obvious choices as these three are the only ones to show up in the top 5 on both lists.
Hope this helps.
