IP detection scripts/plugins
 

everyone is always banging on about china, india, brazil, russia etc as being where the money is.

understanding foriegn markets is one thing, targeting them is something else. i've managed to build myself a decent list of contacts to translate my site content in a suitable / relevant / reliable fashion but i'm looking for the final piece to complete my jigsaw.

can anyone recommend any reliable ip detection scripts / software / plugins (as in WP) that I could use to target my new landing pages with?!

you can steal this idea for free on the recommendation of any tools that work :Oh crap

what's the idea?

Maxmind for GeoIP

You might want to check IP-to-Country WP plugin:

thanks guys will test these out and post updates...

MaxMind is great, I use it on my dating site, and also on my ad server.

Don't be too excited about emerging markets though. China is a hard nut to crack - I've really struggled converting traffic from China, despite being fairly familiar with the culture.

India is a problem in that the traffic is low quality. You'll find that Indian and Pakistan men are fairly (for want of a better word) immature. I run a mainstream dating site and they frequently upload photos of cars, cocks, nude kids etc.

And of course there's the scammer/spammer problem to consider as well.

they can do for you.... what ever you want...

interesting insights on india/pakistan, I've heard that sort of thing before. we have some breast enlargement brands in our network that get a lot of traffic from south asia but few sales in comparison.

a couple of affiliates I've been working with have been trying out the WP plugin mentioned by FetishAssetsCom (thanks) and we have already been seeing significant improvements in conversion with targeted landing pages in French, German and Spanish speaking countries.

obviously having a decent translator is a factor, but the plugin itself and the simple idea of targeting specific countries with localised content means not having to compete in US/UK for meagre returns...

hi javinder_mn,

we offer a link redirecting script. it's very easy to use and it works great. i think it's the perfect script for you...

please hit me up under [email protected] and i can give you the script...

when the script is running on your sites, you can use our christmas lead deal too ;-)

cu, regina

Check out maxmind.

If you can't find any ready-made plugins that do exactly what's needed drop me a message, would be relatively easy to custom make.
