How to hide adsense ads for a specific country?

Discussion in 'PHP' started by KingCobra, Mar 4, 2013.

  1. #1
    My web site is based on PHP-MySQL.
    I have adsense ads in my site.
    I would like to hide adsense ads for the visitors of a specific country (Example: Nepal). So when the visitors of Nepal visit my site they will not see adsense ads on my site.
    Other visitors from other countries will see the ads normally.

    Is it possible? Please tell me the ways. Thank you.

    You could always have a php script that checks IP address against a list of known IP addresses (from the specific countries) and store the result.. then just put the ads in a if statement to allow or block depending on IP.. just a quick and random thought

    Here are a couple examples using .htaccess and php:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9838344/how-to-redirect-domain-according-to-country-ip-address

    You can point your iframes or javascript code to your php script and it will sort out your traffic.

    You can simply redirect the users from the undesired countries to a blank page or alternative ads. I don't really understand how it is unrelated.

    Users JP and ogah have already given the answer, just use an IP location database and some if statements to block ads for certain countries. I actually use statements like this quite often to display optimized ads based on location

    http://www.geoplugin.com/webservices/php

    You can use a free service.
    
    require_once('geoplugin.class.php');
    $geoplugin = new geoPlugin();
    // If we wanted to change the base currency, we would uncomment the following line
    // $geoplugin->currency = 'EUR';
    
    $geoplugin->locate();
    if ($geoplugin->countryCode == 'US' ) {
    //some adcode display
    }
    
    PHP:
    Repeat for whatever other countries you may have. You could also use a switch statement

    If your template can handle PHP then by all means download the php class and dump it in your template.
