I have a html website. If I want to target my website to Germany alone, is there a code I need to implement in the files except from the WMT settings?

Thanks

    Requirements:

    jQuery library

    Code:
    $.getJSON( "http://smart-ip.net/geoip-json?callback=?", function(data){
		
// traffic aus deutschland wird redirected, z.b. nach ...
if (data.countryCode == "DE") { 
window.location = 'http://yourdomain.com/de/index.html';
} else {
// traffic aus anderen ländern wird redirected, z.b. nach ...
window.location = 'http://google.com';
}

      Michael71, thank you for the example!

    It should be noted that this is more of a 'simple' solution. Bypassing this would be trivial for even the most basic of computer users (using a proxy, disabling JS in browser, etc).

    However, with that said their aren't really many effective solutions (Even with Netflix if you use an American proxy you get the full American show listing, which is the best!).

    Yep, this is a simple and free solution.

    Ofcourse you could go with maxmind or similar... and mabye just route every proxy user to somewhere else
