Let's say you only want to target a certain country; traffic from anywhere else won't do you good. Would you block every country on earth except the one you're targeting, or is this considered bad practice?

Would appreciate your input

I dont block them, but redirect based on geo.

That's a cool idea!

What plugin do you use to achieve that?

Also, if the traffic is coming from Google and it redirects to another website immediately (assuming it's unwanted traffic), will that throw redflags or what?

I code my own sites, so no plugin.

I buy traffic, so my traffic does not come from google seo.

If I'm relying on organic traffic, would you recommend blocking other countries to rank in a specific geo?
