are you trying to track conversions by region? or are you just trying to redirect traffic?

[CS-Jay]

Redirect traffic based on IP

Redirect traffic based on IP

I have GeoIP installed and this is what you can do in your htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^(US|CN)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGuoR1V2nFQ$1 [L]

The above sample code redirects American and Chinese traffic to this Youtube video

Maxmind is the geoip company. We use our own faster software, but they are kind the standard. Keep in mind that it's nowhere near perfect. They claim 80% accuracy outside of the US. Real accuracy is probably even lower, so figure it'll be wrong maybe 30% of the time.

Also keep in mind geoip is NOT how you do languages. The browser sends a header specifically telling you which language they prefer and mod_negotiation displays the page which is the best match.
