RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://gb.example.com$1 [L]

the code should do just make sure you have mod_geoip installed

Is there a simple way of doing this for affiliates? like some simple code they can put on the home page to redirect traffic from the UK to another site?

I need it as simple as possible for affiliates to get around without having to install anything on the server.

you can also redirect by browser language... it's not 100 % accurate however...

google how to do it ;-)

oh wait, i have one url for you ;]

Thanks for the info but not quite what I am looking for as it must redirect only UK visitors which is English so it would redirect all English counties and not just the UK (GB)

Like the site though...

No. They could redirect based on remote_host if their server has reverse resolution on, but it shouldn't be on. It's very resource intensive.

for uk english it should be: en-gb code....
for australia it is: en-au, for usa it is en-us..... and so on....
however, like I told, it's not 100 % accurate, so I think your only other way is only by using geo IP redirect...

Also geo isn't anything like 100% accurate, as the main geo ip company, Maxmind, clearly states.
