Hello, I am interested in determining the zipcode location of the visitors of my website. WIth geotargeting I know I can get city information but I need to know zipcodes. Is anyone aware of a way to do this? As far as I know this isn't possible because IP blocks are assigned to ISPs and then they can assign those IPs to any endpoint.
Hey dude.. try it with maxmind.com Im using their service and it seems fairly accurate down to city.. ( is using the 50k for $20 option..) http://www.maxmind.com/app/city ( seems to do zip also..)
Yeah, I checked out their website and they have a similar statement regarding IP locations... "Not being able to determine the postal code in many cases is a general limitation of geolocation services. Typically an ISP will have its users connect to a central office and assign their client an IP address from a block of IP address." Whoever figures this one out is gonna be rich because I really think geotargeting is the wave of the future (sorry for the use of the lame expression but I hope you get my point). There is so many uses for it.
