Change headlines depending on where the visitors comes from?

Have you tried this?

75% of all my visitors comes from California. How about if I spacialize the website headlines text etc depending on what country the visitor comes from?

Could I get more sales?

 

Yup.. I've used this strategy to boost my sales. It really works.

 

Geo targeting content works very well. Make the surfer feel special.

And how would you do this?

 

I know there are services like hxxp://www.ip2location.com/ and hxxp://www.analysespider.com/ip2country/IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY.html but im not sure the cost would be worth it. You could however beg someone to give you the IP range for your region and code something around that?

 

Sounds interesting, Can we really do this ?

 

have a look at demo stuff here...

hxxp://www.analysespider.com/download.html

and found some other bits here hxxp://www.veel.tegoor.com/cr/cr/

This might prove useful too

Regions don't have IP ranges (except at the ARIN delegation level - you can tell Asia, Africa, North America, etc. apart).

At the city and to some degree the country level, the IP ranges are fuzzy and constantly shifting, and the only way to be halfway accurate is to subscribe to one of these services.

I do believe there is a free one, though - I remember coming across the web site a few months back.

 

http://fling.com/main.html?prg=1&id=noadvert

has this feature. Look on the right side.

Quite awhile back I sent them an e-mail asking where they got it. No reply back. No surprise, but it was worth a shot.

In the past my programmer tried to duplicate it, and the one in PlentyOfFish's site, but no go.

It's also hard to find such a feature like this that works, AND, it doesn't cost that much.

Gonna try http://www.ip2location.com/

I had forgotten all about them. Thanks, Tom.

 

This sounds like a good idea but will it actually work?

 

This looks like its free but not sure how accurate..
Must have a look at php code myself...

hxxp://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity

Might be ok too

hxxp://www.maxmind.com/app/javascript_city

 

Thanks again, Tom.

Small world that you mentiond maxmind.com. My programmer found them last week.

One version of it is free, but they say it isn't as accurate as the paid version. But the price is a bit much for this sort of thing. $90 a month.

Damn, bend me over and don't say "thank you" afterwards!

It may be worth it, but there really is no way of knowing for sure. I got that sucker in my "favorites," though.

I also contacted ip2location, and they sent me the info to put in the city finder.

Here's my second version of TheList.FM I'm working on...

http://www.thelist.fm/thelist3.shtml

Look in the upper right corner.

Still working on the look of it and the wording, and it is still a test for now, but I think this may be the answer.

Is it reading your city, Tom?

Can anyone else tell me if they are seeing their city?

I'll let you all know how this works out.

 

Isnt there a free maxmind version Perry? Havent looked too much into it... They mention theres a free version but not as accurate...

I tested your link and doesnt see me..

But using a Proxy

http://proxify.com/p/011110A0000110...72532306769726c73253230696e2532303c434954593e

It gave me

So looks to be working ...

Another Proxy

gives

Is the Phrase tool on iplocation free?

 

The maxmind webmaster says that the free version isn't as accurate.

Yes, the ip2location is free.

I'll have my programmer look into what you have seen. If it can't be ironed out more, I'm going to have to take it down.

I'll keep you updated.

Crapola! *slams head repeatedly on keyboard*

 

id say you could be ok , im only seeing "document.write" cause im calling the url direct..
When placed in html page would come out like

'Special tips for finding girls in NEW YORK' ( Pity its in caps too!!)

.. I would imagine

Have a look at your page through a few proxys.....

 

What service did you use to get the IP of the location?

Any mentioned below in this thread?

 

Nope, forget ip2location, Tom. It's not accurate at all.

In fact, in afterthought, this kind of tool is pretty useless in many cases, and it can probably hurt a webmaster. I got on my girlfriend's computer, and hers read Arlington, but she's in Chalreston. Her Internet provider is Comcast, and one of their servers is in...Arlington!

 

This has my head wrecked now :0p
Will put thinking cap on

 

Yeah, we're in front of my site trying to figure the shit out now.

For now we rigged it to where they type in their area. Later on tonight I'll put in a short sales pitch underneath it to get them to do it. When it shows them their city after clicking "jump," that area, along with the pic will show again down below the page, just above the ordering form.

Hopefully it should be up tonight, so if you are looking for something like an ip finder, but are unsuccessful, you can copy from my version. It MIGHT be just as good. Fuck it. It couldn't hurt, anyway.

Did ya see this one?

http://www.ip-adress.com/

But that's too much. It might scare some users off.

Then again, being that you have a proxy, you may not see what I am seeing.

You proxy users piss me off.

I sent them and one other site an e-mail yesterday. Waiting for their reply back, if any at all. If not, I'm going to sitck with what I am doing now. Hell with it, for now, that is.

 

John , sent a PM , what kind of results do you get? Seemed ok using free maxmind for myself and Perry?
