Wordpress Geo-Targetting Plugin

[Sebastian]

Hey Buddies,

I'm looking for a Geotargetting plugin to dynamically change top list rankings depending on user location.

Anyone know where I can find one ? or buy one ?

thanks
Sebby

You can get the Epik Geo-IP Plugin. It's what I use on all my sites, and if you check Casino Answers! Online Casino Guide, Reviews, Casinos for Dummies, Play Casino Games the "Top 5 Slots" list is geo-targeted(although I only set it as US/Non-US for now).

I can recommend Dealer Dan's plug-in. It works really well, its very user friendly, and the price is very reasonable!

OK, I had no idea Dealer Dan's plugin was Wordpress compatible, sweet !

Thanks guys !

Hey Dan do you have any write-ups on the best way to use this? Like for your table there did you put the code in a new category and then use the shortcode to call it in the sidebar?

There's a manual that should ship with it that I actually wrote - and it goes into a lot of detail on how to use it. If you didn't get it it's available here.

In regard to putting it in the sidebar it was a little bit more tricky. Rather than putting shortcode in sidebar.php I put:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[geocode id=49]'); ?>

If you want to you can just create a widget too if your sidebar used widgets. If you do that, just add this to functions.php of your theme file:

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

That's perfect, didn't get the manual with it but just saved it from your link I should be fine.

Not sure if this is possible, but is there a way to use ad variations using the geo-ip plugin? Lets say I want to rotate in 5 different us friendly banners to us traffic and 5 different non-us banners to non-us traffic... what would be the best way or is this possible?

What i've done currently is created ad variations within the epik plugin with different category names (used like topbanner1, topbanner2) and within the topbanner1 category, my ads contained a version of a us friendly banner and a version of a non-us banner. In topbanner2, I entered a different us friendly banner and a different non-us. I could repeat this to get in as many variations as I wanted.

Then, I'm using a second plugin (advertising manager) and creating an ad named 'topbanner' and entering the [geocode=1] and saving it. then, i'm creating another ad named 'topbanner' (advertising manager will rotate in any ad named the same as other ads) and entering the [geocode=2] and saving it. Repeat this process to get all the ads in the ad manager.

Then, wherever i want to drop one of those variations of the ads, I just use the advertising manager code to drop in 'topbanner' and this will rotate the ads for me.

This works, but my question is... is there an easier way to do this? Is there a way to have multiple ad variations in the same geoip-category so I only have to create the ad variations in 1 category and in turn only have to create 1 ad in the advertisingmanager plugin? It feels like I am duplicating work doing it this way and there may be an easier way. I read through the manual but didn't see this as an option.

btw - lovin this plugin.

I'll ask the coder Frank(Frost on PAL) to stop by and answer as I've never tried that, although I do have it on my to do list

There isn't a simple way to do what you are asking. I am trying to find time to release version 2 of the plugin and it will support this.
