Serving different content to users from different geographic regions

Hi,

The Amazon Associate feature of only serving up ads to a particular country is hindering my sales.

Using PHP, how can I detect a user's country, and therefore serve them different Amazon ads?

Thanks,

fcmisc.

 

I believe you need to use ip2location, or geoip

 

Both of which will cost you money... there's is no function in any programming language (that I know of) that can tell you where an IP is geographically located.

 

not necessarily. You can download the ip2location database for free, if you're technically capable of programming your own code for using that data

 

There are several services to find the location of an IP address.

Once you know the location just do

if($location=="US"){
echo"US content";
}
elseif($location=="UK"){
echo"UK content";
}.....................
