I am running a landing page for a dating offer that gets a lot of direct traffic. The offer I am promoting accepts US only. I would like to cloak based on IP address(I think) and send UK & Other Countries to a different page for an offer that will accept them.

Does anyone know how to cloak for this or could point me in the right direction?
 


If you get the right network, they should be able to route your traffic for you. If you want to do it yourself, the cheapest/easiest solution would be the before mentioned MaxMind. I would say it is about 90% accurate on the country level.

Well they're routing my offers now, but to crappy stuff like smiley's and shit. I can request that they route specific offers to certain other offers?

They probably can only do it offer wide. I would have a chat with your aff. manager. There are international dating offers so either they don't have it or aren't routing things right. Maybe try another network and see if they can help you better.

If you can do some basic programming, maxmind is pretty easy to implement and then you can control it yourself easily.
 
I'd say run your own geo for your own traffic always. That keeps you in control and you're not banking on the affiliate network or your AM to take care of it. Then if you want to use 2-3 networks for the different geo's you can do that as well. Their is some free db's for geo out there. The maxmind one is great if you want states and cities and what not. But for country geo's just use one of the freebies. Can probably do it with about 20-30 lines of code.
