Yes, use something like maxmind geoip, and a couple lines of php code.

Since I don't know PHP is there already written anywhere that you know of? Would this pretty easy to have custom?

here you go

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script src="http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    switch(geoip_country_code()){
        case "AT" :
            document.location.href = "http://austriatraffic.com";
            break;
        case "CH" :
            document.location.href = "http://switzerlandtraffic.com"
            break;
        case "DE" :
            document.location.href = "http://germantraffic.com"
            break;
	case "IN" :
         document.location.href = "http://indiatraffic.com"
            break;
        default :
            document.location.href = "http://othertraffic.com.com"
            break;
    }
</script>
</head>
</html>

in above code, you just have add specific country codes from which traffic and the target url

like this

case "IN" :
document.location.href = "http://indiatraffic.com"
break;

hope this helps.,

This looks real good...I will give it a try tomorrow. What about geo codes on the state and city level...all of which will be in the United States? Is it possible to get that specific?

access this link

http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js

you will get something like this

Code:

function geoip_country_code() { return 'DE'; }
function geoip_country_name() { return 'Germany'; }
function geoip_city() { return 'Berlin'; }
function geoip_region() { return '16'; }
function geoip_region_name() { return 'Berlin'; }
function geoip_latitude() { return '52.5167'; }
function geoip_longitude() { return '13.4000'; }
function geoip_postal_code() { return ''; }
function geoip_area_code() { return ''; }
function geoip_metro_code() { return ''; }

you can catch every variable from above list.,

like the script i posted b4 using geoip_country_code()

you can set to any of the above.

try it.,

I did not know they where doing that - I have been using the DB on my own server - I will have a look at the rate limits, I might use that instead....

Thanks

Code:

 Free use of the service is allowed, if the following link is included on your website:

This website uses <a href="http://www.maxmind.com/en/javascript">MaxMind's
GeoIP JavaScript Service</a>

i guess , its possible. but you have to update maxmind geo ip database file on your server , every month.

please take a look at

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/javascript

and imho , you should use something with php as this method wont work if browsers have javascript disabled.

thanks

this scripts looks good, but serving it from your own server just using their db would be even better

**borked** · 12-16-2012, 02:06 PM

or you can use geoplugin
