Trade management by Country? (for linux/apache) - GoFuckYourself.com

wimpy · 08-27-2003, 08:22 AM

spent the last several hours looking for IP by country db that will integrate with linux/apache. found some stuff, but unsure if it's any good.

Do you do that? What works well?

Seems a big problem would be the time delay between the hit and serving the page if you have a large db. All the country db are huge.

Would prefer to have a trade management script that trades country for country. (Ie, you send me a chinese surfer, I send you a chinese surfer.)

It would be fine if it just grouped the worthless traffic together: china, singapore, russia, etc.

ps, an apache module for this is here:
http://www.maxmind.com/app/mod_geoip

Any comments on how this might work? Drawbacks? Speed?

I think www.xxxmanager.com does that...

Why is traffic from places like China, Singapore and Russia considered "worthless"? Pardon my ignorance - newbie.

It's hard to get money out of Chinese surfers. They don't have credit cards, and it's illegal.

Other countries are just plain full of fraud artists. Russia, Ukrain, etc.
