PHP include based on viewer country? Monthly service? Isthere an alternative?

[Ansel_Tk1]

Hi All - looking for opinions. I need to have some pages on my site come up
with an 'advert' based on the viewers country. I know there are services out
there that provide a database system that look up an IP for a monthly fee.
Anyone use them? Any one in particular? Is there another system out there?
Help! Thanks!

I've used the MaxMind web services before, very simple to setup and use:

For just the country, $20 for 200,000 queries isn't bad, at least you're not
tied to a monthly fee. I setup a local database and stored all of my web
service lookups locally, so that repeat IP address wouldn't cost me a repeat
lookup.

There's all kinds of other services out there...

What does the country an IP address/range might belong to tell you about
the country of the viewer? They don't have to be the same necessarily.

I think the extension is called GeoIP and you can get it on phpclasses.org
