    I too would like to know....

    how can you redirect a certain countries ip's to another site?

    Also, if you do this you can offer exclusively iranian associated products (dunno anything about arabic affiliate programs but I'm sure they exist!) to your visitors which will probably turn what google calls trash traffic into cash traffic!

    (as well as helping the iranian people still practice their given rights as human beings to free information)

    This is not new. Basically you can turn each Ad Spot on your site into local ads, i.e for USA residents there will be USA targeted ads, for India there will be Indian ads, and so on. so you don't need to redirect anything to other website and keep all the visitors in one page.

    I own proxies and am completely against dictatorship. On the other hand, I block a lot of countries also. I wish there was a way to let only the 'good' people from those countries access the internet to blog and tell people about their country but that is not the case. If you ever own a proxy, please take a look at the log of websites the majority of Chinese people are visiting. It is almost all PORN. Images use a lot of bandwidth and so do video files so webmasters are forced to block the whole country.

    A few months ago I setup a new dedicated server, bought an advert on proxy.org, and 72 hours later, my server was raped. China had swallowed 500 gigs of bandwidth in less than 3 days and before that the server load was so high I couldn't access it myself.


    Just my story...

    Stop being cheap and upgrade your damm server plan or something.
    You should be happy you are even getting traffic.

    What if everyone blocked counties unless it was their own..

    Dont take this wrong way DnHype, but...

    Halleluja t.sealey :) God bless you!

    Thank you, at last someone said it :)

    I agree 100% with you, I am busting my a.. off to get traffic, and people are complaining about "too much traffic", how can one have too much traffic? thats the reason one develope a website in the first place, to have traffic and earn money, just because you are not good enough to monetize your traffic, its not the visitors foult, this just means you are not good enough to moneytize, and target your ads to your visitors.

    What good is it to... example: have an ad which focus on american motels when you have visitors from Iran? what should the visitor from Iran do with those kind of ads, you cant blame them that they dont click on links?

    You just have to do a better job moneytizing, my friend. Or as so many have told you before, just direct them to my website, although its not a proxy, i dont mind traffic from iran or other countries.

    Best regards...

    its a business...not a charity
    and most of us already have fast servers...they just rape them and take them down

    there is good traffic and bad traffic...

    good traffic = visitors who use the site normally and click on ads if they are interested

    bad traffic = visitors who overuse the site and do not click on ads at all

    Im pretty sure about 80% of web developers/designers DO NOT CLICK on ads.. that makes us BAD users?
    How are they overusing the site.. Its not like you set a limit on what they can do.

    we don't set limits but the average user, based on statistics, does not use as much as an average user in china or iran does...and a lot of webmasters have the capabilities to run private proxies if they need to use one

    I read this on another forum and thought you might find this usefull.

    http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=162592 - censorship in Thailand

    http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2007/07/077de2fc-8d88-4cf9-84aa-d2981fdc02f4.html¨ - censorship in Iran

    http://blog.valuewiki.com/2007/04/10/chinese-censorship-interview-with-a-chinese-wikipedian/ - censorship in China

    After reading this, I would like to know if you still thinks blocking is a good idea?

    I have many hack attacks from mostly asian countries, this sometimes is so much that the traffic from brute hack, freesez my server, now Im getting better at securing so this dont happen so much now. But I never thought about blocking a whole country or continent out because of that. I look in my logs and find those who try and block only their IP-adress, this I have to do every single day a couple of times, but I would rather do this, then take, maybe the only, chances someone has to express themself.

    Best regards...

    We are individuals working hard to make money for our families and ourselves

    We are not utopists

    Our job is to have ideas, to find the best money making programs (affiliate marketing, adsense...), to attract traffic with good conversion, to avoid traffic with 0 conversion, to avoid spending money for nothing (we already pay taxes), to developp our business

    Censorship or not in China, in Iran ... and all the nice bla-bla-bla ... will not feed our families

    For instance, spammers from South America (mainly Argentina) I have to face have no problem with censorship, they are just spamming like crazy for some bucks and it's a tough problem

    Hey guys, it's an Internet Marketing & Search Engine forum, it's not a political forum

    And I do love international politics and I hate censorship & war in Iraq ;)

    Offcourse as I before have mentioned it is a business.

    But see it in this way: in "the real life" if some, lets say pink people, steals from a shop, is it alright for the shop to denie all pink people to enter the shop? You know its not long ago some colors was denied access to some places because of there color, was this allright to do?. The shop owners from that time, I bet, would use the same excuse and say "...but I loose money if they come in, this is business I have to make money, my other customers dont want them in here, and if I allow them to enter, they wont come." was this alright to do???

    Just because it is very easy nowadays to block those you dont want in, it doesnt make it right. As I said before there is a way to block the single user if he/she uses it to illegal things, but from this to block a whole country? come on guys.

    Where is the freedom of speech and the right to express yourself, is this only for us in the west? ...and we are surprised that there are people who dont like us, when we do things like this and only think about us self :confused:

    As I said before block the ip from those people who misuses your site, that I understand and support 100%, but dont let one-two guys misuse of your site, be a "punishment" for a whole country.

    Believe me I have been a target of many who attacks my server, to the point where the server goes down (gladly this is not happening anymore, dont know why?), and I dont know why they do that, but I would never block an entire country for this.

    This user here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=622923

    is trying to do the right thing. Big RESPECT to her. I hope she can find any iranian who can help her with moneytizing her traffic from iran.

    But I am sorry I have brought this up, cause you are right "Lastbutnotleast", this forum is not a political thread, and there is a forum for that here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=80

    Sorry for this "DnHype", I wont comment this anymore in here, as I think all parts have explained there part of the view. (who said self-censorship :)). Though I do reserve the right to reply, if I feel like it :)

    Try thinking upside down.

    Don't control inbound connections, control the outbound connections.

    You can even do this in your hosts file.

    That would be more devastating as almost all the outbounds may be taken up by the cheap non-converting traffic from china/iran and nothing will be left for good profit making traffic. Anyone starts business for profit and in a global place like web, not everyone can profit from everything.

    I have seen sites with iranian ad-network ads (Search for persian blogs (mostly on blogfa.com) and you will find many such ad-networks). But I can not handle/manage such things and I don't think many others can handle it too.

    Moderation is for a purpose. And as in democracy, businesses have "Right to Admission". If someone cannot afford cheap traffic, why try to make a hero out of him ;). People only give advice but when question of contribution comes they all run away or treat people (asking for contribution) as beggars.

    Topics of freedom and censorship should be left out to political outfits and NGO's, better capable of handling such issues. Also, by allowing chinese/iraninan traffic to our proxies we will be in direct confrontation with the respective Gov.'s policies.

    Not a webmaster's cup of tea. Webmasters don't have enough to fight cases with Gov.'s and face prosecution.

    Prevention is always better than cure. :D

    This is a very sensitive issue and even if trying hard, some sentiments may get disturbed so, the question should left to business only and not politics.

    I AM SORRY IF MY COMMENTS ARE NOT LIKED BY NATIVE IRAN OR CHINA RESIDENTS.
