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 you running an affiliate offer that is only available for one country you are leaving money on the table. Stop the madness, monetize that traffic and send it to a targeted offer!
Chances are high that a similar offer exists that caters to other countries. Perhaps you can get the same offer for other countries at a lower payout. Or you could always display some Google ads or even eBay auctions using phpbay pro. This gives you the opportunity to monetize for all countries. You can show unique offers for any number of countries. For example you can show a different offer for Canadian visitors, visitors from the U.K, from the U.S., from Ireland and a completely different offer for all other countries.
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. Say something like “Now available in Canada for a short time!”, and display a banner underneath or above with you affiliate ID attached to the link.
If your coding and/or technical skills are poor, try this, ready to go, easy to implement, WordPress Geo Country Targeting Script to simplify the entire process. Although the manual gives specific instruction to implement with WordPress blogs, it may be used for other php based sites as well.
