Yea, search 'ip_files' on google, a free PHP version, if you have knowledge of PHP it shouldnt be hard to modify to your needs

If you know php you can get a nice class from phpclasses.org or if you want to do something yourself take a look at http://api.hostip.info/

seo is not of concern.

i know i saw a paid geotargetting script with a "lite" version a couple months back, but i can't remember what it was called for the life of me now.

Ask your host to install a GeoIp_mod and then all you have to do is write an .htaccess file.

More info here, http://www.maxmind.com/app/mod_geoip

I used to use this for geo-targetting cpa landing pages.

Another option is to use maxmind's free db for geotargetting, without an apache module.

I posted how to do this exactly some time back. Here is the post: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...ne-code-me-php-geo-targetting.html#post410382

Hope that helps
