Hey Nick, I agree with Nathan (usually do anyhow) Keep in mind these IP databases are only so accurate, IP blocks can move around quite a bit, so last month one segment might have been one part of Kansas, then the ISP moved them to some part of Kentucky this month.
That kind of DB is fairly useful for analyzing past IP blocks, but if you want to get a little more accurate and stay up to date with little or no work - simply install Google Analytics on your site(s) and it'll do that geo location work for you on all new visitors. =] On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 3:47 PM, Nathan Strutz <[email protected]> wrote: > > Google for IPLocation, you can get databases if you like, but I remember > seeing an old open source java/coldfusion project on sourceforge (ok, a > long time ago) that did all the work for you and just spit out a country > code, country name, sometimes even a state/province and city.
