Internet Marketing Strategies and Marketing Tips by Neil Shearing

If you sell a geo-specific service, such as a financial service or any product that has different regional or national laws applicable to it, you may want to consider investing in software that shows different webpages to visitors depending on where they are in the world.

It’s quite a simple concept. Each visitor who requests a webpage from a server passes their IP address with their request. It’s then possible to do a “reverse ip lookup” to work out roughly where in the world that person is. When you have that information, it’s possible for the server to redirect the visitor to whichever webpage is most suitable for that visitor based on rules you define.

Lots of websites already use this technology. For example, Google will show me “google.co.uk” even if I type in “google.com” because it knows I’m surfing from Britain. Abercrombie and Fitch will redirect me from their US website to their UK one automatically.

So where can you get the server scripts that allow you to implement such geo-specific visitor redirects? Well, a friend of mine, Gordon, is offering such scripts at his website. He calls the product Geo-Targeter Pro Redirecting Software and currently has a very tempting special offer running.

Just imagine if you could redirect visitors who weren’t eligible for your website’s main offer, because of their geo-location, to a “secondary” offer, and convert a few into sales each day… that would be a nice little revenue stream. It would sure beat turning those visitors away, or annoying them because they can’t purchase your main offer.

Good news for fans of XSitePro, the superb site-building software from Paul Smithson and the team at Intellimon… they have extended their $100 discount on the shiny new Version Two and now accept PayPal making the software accessible to lots more customers. You can buy XSitePro here.

Paul says…

“Since we launched XSitePro v2 back in June LOTS of people have asked when we’ll be accepting payment via PayPal rather than just credit card.

I’m pleased to say that it’s all sorted, so if you’ve got some spare money sat in your PayPal account now is a great time to put it to good use and invest it in the amazing new XSitePro v2.

And the other great news is that I’ve decided to extend the special hundred dollar discount offer, to let you get in the door, which means you’ll pay only $197.

Before signing-off I wanted to share with you just one of the wonderful comments that came in over the last few days. It’s from Gloria-Leigh Logan, and it says:

“XSitePro2 exceeds all expectations, gives new meaning to value for money and makes a newbie website builder look like a seasoned professional. I struggled for years trying to build a professional website myself that had features such as forms, audio, bookmarking links, testimonial boxes, and many other things that XSitePro can now do so easily with just a few clicks of my mouse. Now I can look at my multi-featured website with pride knowing that I created it all by myself.”

She ends by saying:

“XSitePro2 has just empowered me so much and I know others who have been struggling will find it a real treat.”

That last line put a huge smile on my face, as that’s exactly what we set out to achieve when we started building XSitePro back in 2004.”

Nice one, Paul.
