How can I benefit?

I run a US based business where I only make money on US based customers. I've done it for over 20 years so I know, without a doubt that this is the case despite trying many alternatives.

I also know I get a great deal of Asian type in traffic for some odd reason.

It turns out that through experimentation, I find I can make a few bucks with AdSense on the site. My take on this is that these are likely to be the non-US customers - in part because non-us customers are a large percentage of visitors.

Still, because the AdSense ads show to my US customers, this may be cannibalizing my regular US business.

So is there a way that I can easily deliver a certain set of pages to the Asian or all Non-US visitor, and a different set of pages to US visitors?

Why take the chance of making a buck on a click when I could make a few thousand? And why waste the non-us impressions on something that I know I won't benefit from?

You can server an entirely different website if you like. Google "geotarget ip address"

Been learning (and thinking) about geo-ip for some time now.

I know that large sites do this all the time, so I know it CAN be done, I just don't know HOW to go about doing it, how much it would cost, things of that nature.

I'm also trying to get some opinions if this is a good idea.
