Great GeoTargeting Plugin for Wordpress for FREE

Been doing some experimenting with geotargeting and ran across this Wordpress plugin after trying a lot of others that just didn't work very well.

WP Geocode Marketing Intelligence Plugin

What you can do with it, using shortcodes is create a post in Wordpress that targets different countries or even states and cities. Examples here:

Examples | WP Geocode

So, in one post for example, using a code like this

[wpgc_is_state_code state_code="VA"]

Place content for Virginia here

[/wpgc_is_state_code]

[wpgc_is_not_state_code state_code="VA"]
Place content for all other states here
[/wpgc_is_not_state_code]


Another example would be to target different states or countries in one post using a shortcode like below

[wpgc_is_state_code state_code="VA"]

Place content for Virginia here

[/wpgc_is_state_code]

[wpgc_is_state_code state_code="MD"]

Place content for Maryland here

[/wpgc_is_state_code]

This plugin pulls it's location data from the free version of the MaxMind Database and is around 90% accurate.

Would work very well for creating different offers for different countries or states, all in one post.

Hope you find it useful.

      Glad you all like it. Took me hours to find one that really worked and I was willing to pay for it. Being free makes it even more awesome.

      It's just short codes. I doubt there is any penalties for geotargeting. It's done on a lot of sites.

        Google geo targets themselves, so it would be like the pot calling the kettle black

      There are other uses other than the way I showed you, such as just adding the shortcode in a sentence like, Hello from [wpgc_state_code].

      WP Covert Geo Targeter doesn't do what the plugin I suggested does.

      This is cool WordPress plugin that will lets you geo target your blog and insert your visitor's geo location anywhere on it.
      The plugin I found serves up different content based on the location of the visitor, not just saying Greetings Maryland visitor ....

        Hi,

        I know this is an old thread.. I'm trying to find a way to display different banners on my page based on if the user is located in the US or Europe.
        Does anyone know if this plugin will work for that?

        Thanks
        Alx

          You could do this with a geotargeting plugin.
          I use 'WP Marketing Suite', which is like wp geocode, but it also allows targeting based on browser type, referrer, url parameters, user agent etc

          It also allows you create custom combinations of the above and save as your own segments.
          So in your case you would basically do a shortcode like:

          [wpms country=usa]<img ...'enter your USA banner>[/wpms]
          [wpms country=aus]<img ...'enter your Australia banner>[/wpms]
          so on and so forth.

          Just google wp marketing suite, just like wpgeocode but more full featured and updated monthly. (also automatically updates the geoip database)

            You failed to mention the $49 price tag for WP Marketing Suite.

    wpgeocode.com seems to be down. Doesn't instill a sense
    of confidence in me.

    Are you going to update this to work with WP v4.1?

    I tried to install it on one of my WP sites and the install failed.

    Thanks!!
