Banning countries by IP address - GoFuckYourself.com

Anyone know how to ban whole countries from visiting my site by IP address?
Is it possible?
How do you find out the IP range of a country?
Is there a .htaccess solution?

yopu can do it with a geo redirect script, theres one at www.nibbi.net and maxmind.com

should do the trick

Yes, you can ban any countries from visiting your sites using .htaccess. Just write IP-intervals of bad countries in .htaccess... that's all

Redirect to fareastmedia.com. I've found consistently that I get conversions from every single country on the Globe, got one from Saudai Arabia last month and one from Kuwait before.

Sure some traffic like China positively sucks and the conversion rate is shitty to say the least, but even the worst traffic sells something.
