Yah, hundreds of publishers have asked Y! reps. about geo targeting feature but none of reps. have the right answer or guide you how/where to get it. All they can say is "Don't put Y! ads on the page that you think many international visitors visit" This is world wide web, wherever has internet connection, they able to visit of any websites
Are you serious? Have you done any research? It's very simple. Script: http://www.phpadsnew.com Database: http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/
setting up phpadsnew can be a headache all in itself. Anyone know other scripts...I saw a thread with 2 two links that had a script, but I didn't bookmark it...now I can't find it.
It's very easy, you just put that file on your site and link to it. I set it up in a matter of minutes.
According to their Terms of Service, even 1 non-USA visitor is a violation of the rules and they can terminate your account, if they want to. The funny thing is, it's almost impossible if not LITERALLY impossible to make sure not even 1 visitor creeps by. So technically, even if you do setup the targetting, you are probably still breaking the rules and they can still terminate you. And, since they won't give an answer as what they will actually terminate for, percentage wise when asked directly, it leads me to beleive they may terminate people even with a very small percentage of outside traffic... which the publisher cannot control in the first place. It seems like they use it as their "catch all" termination method, if they want to terminate someone for an undisclosed reason. Bad business in my eyes. If they don't want that traffic, they have to understand they are on the WWW and it's probably impossible to get 100% traffic of one location because of inconsistency and other issues assosiated with GEO targetting. The least they could do is setup their own GEO option, so it was their responsibility to make sure it was 100% accurate, not ours. Sure, we all agreed to their terms and that gives them the right to go by their terms... But, I do really believe that it is very close to impossible to abide 100% by those terms.
Terminate publisher account only take 5seconds but take them hours to calculate U.S. clicks. If your site has an average of international clicks and meet a bad day reps. your chance will be booted Someone said it's easy to geotargeting with phpadsnew but when I ask them for instructions, they do not tell
Someone? Couldn't look up? Haha. If you want instructions go to the developer's website and you can find everything you need, if you can't PM me.
