Does anyone know how to do this in PHP?

Make it to where Yahoo ads show for US visitors, and Google Ads show for visitors from other countries (since Yahoo does not support other countries)?

 

I've never tried it but a lot of people seem to use phpAdsNew

 

Yeah phpAdsNew is awesome. The install is pretty straight forward, but setting up all your ad zones can be a pain. It's not that much trouble but be prepared to spend an extra few minutes every time you want a new channel.

 

aha. Thanks much for the tip. If anyone wants to be paid to setup/integrate that into a site, let me know.

 

Or this might software you're looking for.. http://www.ip2location.com/

 

Still it's pretty terrible on YPNs behalf. They need to be doing this on their side instead of making us do it!!

They have the resources and know how. Any way we do it won't be half as accurate as they could make it.

 

Or you could always try my solution ...

Sounds like just what I need. Does it look up data from your site or is it stored on my site...or?

 

It would be hosted on your own site. The ads and the geoip database would both be on one of your servers.

Hey Chris,

Its called geo targeting,

here is a thread that has a free download of the script,

here is the post http://www.fadinsite.com/showthread.php?t=24

 

Thanks much for the reply. I bought a different script though. I believe the creator of it is going to help me set it up. Just waiting to hear back now. I did know it was called geo targeting...just never knew how to set it up. Should be in place soon, hopefully. Looking forward to it.
