Ask HN: Current state of Geo-IP?
2 points by emhart on May 20, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hey, all,

I'm trying to weigh the cost/benefit of adding some geo-targeting to a client's ecommerce site. In my very limited testing (6 regionally diverse tests) I'm only getting useful regional information 50% of the time. (National info isn't useful for this client).

I was wondering if there was good data out there, or at least some better informed opinion on what results can be expected.

Thanks!



Paid MaxMind has more accurate data than free one so I buy that when needed. Or you can use browser location via JS which is pretty good
