    Definatly! I always target quite a specific audience. No point trying to sell something to someone in the UK when only available in the US. Waste of clicks and money :)

    I think it's best to geo-target that way you keep YPN happy so they don't think about booting you from the program.

    If you want to use the script and don't want to rename your files to .php, and have PHP available and using Apache, you could use an htaccess file to tell Apache to parse html files for PHP code.

    Just add this to the .htaccess file...
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

    Again, this assumes you have Apache with PHP installed and your host allows this.

    The templates probably can contain php code, since the script is in php. Just enclose the code in php tags, <?php and ?>.

    Yeah good news for them!

    Until they give us the ability to show defaults to non US visitors their geotargetting is useless to us.

    Depends on your product. It is a must in most cases.
    whats this thing about templates and geotargetting? I thought we were talking about geo targetting ads here.

    BTW, Templates may or may not include PHP. Cant reach a conclusion without seeing the script. Actually, it makes no sense to use PHP in template. The whole idea is to separate the PHP(logic) and HTML(design)!!
