Guess conversions will answer that pretty soon though.

After hearing several negative reports like this of surfer paranoia I stopped using GeoIP stuff a while back but maybe things have changed so I will give it another shot.
Personally when I see a banner that has been geo targetted to me I feel like it is an invasion of privacy rather than a convenience of offering me "local" content or services but hopefully most surfers don't agree.
