I would like to market one product globally
n would like to give ad also in websites
But this product is prohibitted in some countries
So I want to block the acess of my site in some countries
Giving advice is apreciable

robots.txt is intended to be used to block spiders and probably would not be the best way for you to do it

if you want to only block certain countries, i think htaccess would be much better since you could block by ips and ips are associated to countries.

vipink: why to take the hassle of importing the complete database locally and then query it .. just use cURL to give a call to any site script that converts IP to location and then redirect visitor accordingly however this will make your site (index or anyother page with this code) slow depending on the speed of results from the third party site
