Using one of the samples, here's something you can try: <code> $sql = 'SELECT country FROM ip2nation WHERE ip < INET_ATON("'.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'") ORDER BY ip DESC LIMIT 0,1'; list($country) = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($sql)); switch ($country) { case 'se': // Show Swedish ad echo"YOUR SWEDISH AD CODE HERE"; exit; case 'us': // Show US ad echo"THIS IS WHERE THE US AD CODE GOES"; exit; default: // Ad for the rest of the world echo"AD CODE TO SHOW TO OTHERS"; exit; } </code> Jon, the plugin uses the ip2nation database by Per Gustafsson There are a few code samples on how to use it on his site.

I am using Adbuttons specifically for the geotargeting to display different ads to UK and US viewers. I have 4 125px ads for each country. What I could love is a way to display some additional adverts by placing code in template files (e.g. single.php) and using the geo targeting database to do this. For example, I have one advertiser that only wants to show ads to UK, and the advert is javascript so cannot use img/url anyway. Is this possible? I am sure it must be relatively simple, and would be good to make use of the geo targeting database. Hi, I posted this on Wordpress.org, but maybe here is a better place to ask.

Great plug-in, but I like it so much that I'd really like to use it more than once so that I can break up my ads. Maybe in a future release you could make it so that I could create more than one instance for my site? Hey Nico!

Great plug-in, but I like it so much that I’d really like to use it more than once so that I can break up my ads.

Maybe in a future release you could make it so that I could create more than one instance for my site?

Try clearing your cache and history in FF. I have had similar problems with some other site, where my ISP was serving me a cached version of images. If that is the case, maybe give it a day and the problem should fix itself. The page is created by the code on the server, so there can be no difference between what FF and IE see, also the output of the script is a simple link and image, nothing special.

That was what i thought but no... If you want to check it for yourself please visit http://www.desaparezca.net/blog2 with both navigators (iexplorer and firefox). There is only one ad, at the right panel, is called Ads!. Thanks in advance. Hi Nico.
