Show Different Ads For Different Countries

Posted on October 14, 2009, 12:15 pm, by admin, under Online Business, Promotion and Marketing.

You may have noticed when looking through your statistics of your niche Wordpress blog that you have been getting traffic from more than just one country. If the affiliate offer you are running on your blog is only geared towards one country you are probably sending the rest of your traffic to an untargeted Webfetti offer. That should end now!

Odds are, you can find a similar offer to the one that you are promoting that can be offered to other countries. Or you could always display some Google ads or even eBay auctions using the phpbay WP plugin. This gives you the opportunity to monetize for all countries. You can display specific ads or offers to any or as many countries as you wish. As an example, you can run a U.S. specific high paying offer to all U.S. residents, display an offer to the U.K. and Canada even if it pays a few bucks less, then show the rest some Google ads for some pay per click action.

All you need to do to figure out the country is run some php code that will match the visitors IP to a database of countries. Although more prone to errors, you can actually figure out a person’s city by looking at their IP address if you have the database to match it with. But really, in most cases, if not all, figuring out the country is sufficient. Country data is in fact attainable with 99% or more accuracy and existing data sets.

Now once your script knows the country, you can then run some if then else test and display the appropriate HTML based on the visitors country. A nice touch would be to display a little flag icon and maybe a quick country specific message. You can drop in some text saying: “Product x is now offered to residents of the U.K. for a limited time!”. Then display your affiliate banner nearby and you’re in business.

If your coding and/or technical skills are poor, try this, ready to go, easy to implement, Wp Country Geo Target Script to simplify the entire process. It works on other php driven sites too but the manual is geared towards Wordpress users.
