redirecting based on geographical IP

I'm looking for a product which will redirect surfers from certain countries because there are some countries which I simply don't want business from at all. So far found georedirect.com. Anybody know anything about it or have a program which they'd vouch for?

 

Take a look at this thread: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...24-save-everyone-tons-time-geo-targeting.html

 

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm looking or something which can detect and then redirect, all in one go...

 

That all you need to do it all in one - look at using ClientLocation.address.country_code to get the country of the IP and then do a meta refresh to reditect to the page for the country.

 

install Maxmind Geo Lite www(DOT)maxmind(DOT)com/app/geolitecity on your server then use something like this in your redirect script.

Code:

<?php
$country_code = apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE");
if ( $country_code == "US"){
header ("Location: hxxp://offer(DOT)com");
}
 else if ( $country_code == "GB") {
header ("Location: hxxp://thisdomain(DOT)com");
}
else
header ("Location: hxxp://otherdomain(DOT)com");

?> 

Had to write the urls like that as can't post links with less then 15 posts

 

an .htaccess file can redirect by ip number.

 

Hey Fudnut,

Thanks, I think that goes a long way. I get the concept, I think. Let's say I want to block three countries Barfiia (BA), Merdistan (MD) and the Socialist Republic of Yuck (RY), but no-one else. I only have two sites, one the real site and the other a holder page halfway across the globe. These three countries go to the holder page, everyone else can go to the real site.

Would this be-

Code:

<?php
$country_code = apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE");
if ( $country_code == "BA"){
header ("Location: hxxp://nutstoyou(DOT)com");
}
 else if ( $country_code == "RY") {
header ("Location: hxxp://tnutstoyou(DOT)com");
} 
 else if ( $country_code == "MD") {
header ("Location: hxxp://nutstoyou(DOT)com");
}
else
header ("Location: hxxp://realwebsite(DOT)com");

?> 

correct?

The htaccess is great, but for indicidual IPs. (I already do that for a few overactive ones, but I'd like to ban entire countries.)

 

Yep, that's the shot.
