yeah very good idea to use... may it be against TOS?

It is not against the TOS, they actually want you to use one. Download MaxMind GeoIP lite for free. Then write a simple script like:

<?
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
include("geoip.inc");

$gi = geoip_open(dirname(__FILE__)."/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);

if (geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $ip) != US) {
$rand = rand(4,5);
}

else {
$rand = rand(3,4);
$place = "US";
}

geoip_close($gi);

?>
Just include that file in your header.php

That's almost the exact script I use (I use GeoIP as well). It's free and pretty easy to set up. I actually use php includes to insert my ads, making it fairly easy to change whenever I want. I added a USE_YAHOO constant in my headed that I can toggle whenever the YPN "shuts down" so I can go with Adsense ads for all traffic with just changing one setting.

I've been using it for over a year pretty flawlessly.

Here's mine:

<?php

//Check if an IP address has been submitted, or get the surfer's IP address

if(isset($_GET["ipAddress"]))
$addr=$_GET["ipAddress"];
else {
// Get the surfer's ip address
$addr = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
}
//Do the MaxMind geotargeting database lookup
//
require_once("geo/geoip.inc");
$gi = geoip_open("geo/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
$country = geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, $addr);
$countryCode = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $addr);
geoip_close($gi);
// Display the Ad based on Country Code
if (USE_YAHOO) {
if ($countryCode == "US" || $countryCode == "") {
// display Yahoo Ad
include("geo/yahoo_content_block.inc"); }
else {
// display Google Ad
include("geo/google_content_block.inc");
}
}
else
{
include("geo/google_content_block.inc");
}
?>


USE_YAHOO is a global flag I can toggle to turn off YPN ads 100% site-wide.
