Blocking the display of adsense adblock on some country

[jcmiras]

I`m just wondering when will adsense provide a feature such that I can set to block the display of my adsense ad on some countries that I dont want it to be displayed. I`m always worry that my friends (and enimies) in my country, plan to have some clicking fun on my ad.

Interesting idea, but I doubt if it will happen. It's hard to imagine Google being willing to give up a site's revenues from an entire country on the off-chance that the publisher's friends or enemies might misbehave.

Also, the publisher may have friends and enemies online who live in other countries. If you're a Scot who publishes bagpiping-sucks.com, you won't just offend Scottish bagpipers; you'll offend bagpipers around the world.

[BTW, for the record, I love bagpiping. :-)]

That could be very simple done.

I serve my ads by an SSI.

So it would be absolut no problem to sort out a country.

At an Apache server REMOTE_HOST has to be switched on.

Actually it's not hard to do using PHP, but my problem why I`ve thought of it is that I also have websites where the hosts dont have PHP and SSI support. Even javascript code doesnt work.

I also have websites where the hosts dont have PHP and SSI support.

Move them to a reasonable hosting service.

Witout Perl, PHP, SSI, REMOTE_HOST look up, it can be hardly called a hosting service.

Um... if you can't use Javascript on your website, then how are you doing Adsense?

Hello jetteroheller,

Can you please explain how REMOTE_HOST can be turned on and webpage can be configured to do the job for the rest of us?

I think we all will benefit from the method.

REMOTE_HOST can be turned

I write to my hosting service at ordering a new virual server

REMOTE_HOST as usual turned on.

The default is REMOTE_HOST turned of.
Log files will show only IP addresses.
With REMOTE_HOST on, log files show the full domain name from the access

Bad hosting services refuse this, because it uses up more ressoruces.

I am also trying to do the same. Today I noticed in my goggle analytics a customer who had not paid us fully was the referer to almost 50% of the traffic to my site and my clicks had jumped. Substantially I have emailed google and am keeping my fingers crossed, Where can I find the script.
