    Visitors from certain countries in the world have give less chance in clicking on your advertisement but use your service maximum. With the “new” and free service from blockacountry.com you can deny visitors from certain countries with just a few clicks.

    As you might have noticed, Google smart prices your websites if their advertisement does not return in revenue for their customers. Such visitors come, but are not limited, from Asia and Middle East. If you have a lot of visitors from these countries you can block them with the help of blockacountry.com.

    How does blockacountry.com work? Simple, you select the countries you want to block from the country list and press the go button. Following an .htaccess document is generated for you. Upload this .htaccess document to your server. That’s all there is.

    Once more the url of this free and simple service: http://www.blockacountry.com.

    I would appreciate it if you use this service that you create a link back to http://www.blockacountry.com.

    Enjoy the service.

    PS. Send me a PM if you have any problems, suggestions, etc to improve this service.

    I used this service for my proxy site and it works. And it's easy to work with it.

    I wouldn't like to block the whole United States, but I've identified spam traffic from a single state and eating up all my bandwidth, how can I block by state?

    Thank you wildcard, the state is Oklahoma.

    Once I included 1-oklahome.com in my list of links and since then I'm receiving spoofing traffic from that state :(

    Your help will be much appreciated :)

    Hi, I think this would be very useful for some pages of site, not just for the conversion, but even for areas that you feel would not be of interest for certain global locations. Thanks!
