    There are a few database providers of geo targeting ip addresses but does anyone know the process in which this is completed. Any technical information on geo targeting ip addresses?

    Doubtful. Maxmind for example started as a nobody and through offering free ip data, it placed itself on the map. I've seen several reports in terms of ping times, tracert times and various other techniques. The irony while maxmind well known has the least effective of the five data providers, would just be interesting to know the secret sauce.
