Displaying different content to different countries

by BenFromSoMo

I have an affiliate website that reviews real physical products that are used everywhere in the world, but most of my traffic is American and all my merchants are American. My reviews are fine for anyone visiting from Europe or Australia or another english speaking part of the world, but my codes are from places that are not top internet venders over seas.

I am wondering if any of you switch content based on where the visitor is coming from and how does Google treat that? Also, while I know it is definitely possible, is it too much of a hassle to worry about?

    You can setup .htaccess to look at the IP addresses of your visitors and setup a redirect to send them to a country specific page. To redirect them you'd want to lookup .htaccess IP redirection

    So if I wanted to perhaps block a country it would look something like...

    <Limit GET HEAD POST>
    order allow,deny
    # Country: UNITED KINGDOM
    # ISO Code: GB
    # Total Networks: 4,266
    # Total Subnets: 82,357,640
    deny from 2.24.0.0/13
    deny from 2.96.0.0/13
    etc...
    #
    allow from all
    </Limit>

    And that would block UK visitors

    You can also tell htaccess to redirect certain search engines to specific pages and I don't believe that will have an adverse reaction but someone with more experience on that matter may know better.
