FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IP2Location.com Releases Database to Identify Geographical Location of Internet Address SARASOTA, Fla., Dec. 17, 2003 -- IP2Location.com, a leading technology provider of Internet geo-location software and services for the e-commerce industry, today announced the release of a new database in the IP2Location's award-winning product series. IP2Location(TM) is a database product that enables Web sites to identify the geographic location of their visitors using IP addresses. The database is used to match an incoming IP (internet protocol) address to the country, region, state, city, latitude, longitude and Internet service provider (ISP) of the Internet user. By knowing the location of visitors in real time, Web sites can display localized content, server bandwidth balancing, improve click-throughs and sales, prevent Internet fraud, and implement many other solutions. For the advertising and marketing industry, learning your Web visitor's origin enables you to offer unique banners to increase hits rate and ROI, customize marketing messages, redirect visitors to appropriate Web pages, display native language, or manage digital rights. For e-business Web sites, the IP2Location(TM) database is crucial to identify suspicious Internet orders to reduce charge-backs, avoid orders from high risk countries, display native currency on order forms, and calculate correct tax fees based on country and regions. "The unique value of the Internet intelligence is that IP2Location gives us the ability to target location-aware messages directly to consumers," said Danny Wong, vice president of IIA Advertising Inc. "With IP2Location's technology, we can better understand who and how people use our Web sites and then, in turn, offer advertisers the ability to deliver specific marketing messages to specific groups of consumers based on location." The IP2Location(TM) database contains more than 2.5 million records for all IP addresses. It has over 95 percent matching accuracy at the country level. Available at only US$499 per year, the database is available via download with free twelve monthly updates.
