So I have got one hater in India who bombarded on my adsense ad units. Luckily I didn't get banned from Google. I have blocked Indian visitors from my site using iq-blockcountry plugin (wordpress). Now I want to know if there's any procedure so that I can allow the Indian visitors but hide the adsense units from them? I don't want to block all visitors just because of one foolish person.
Blocking adsense ad units for a particular country
wordpress;google adsense;country specific
Good way to do this is - switching from AdSense to DFP Small Business. You can display AdSense with DFP and apply Geo-targeting feature.DPF help: Target line items to geographic areas Sam Azgor: How to Block AdSense Being Shown In Specific Countries (I do not know Sam Azgor, but that looks to me like very fine step-by-step explanation.)That needs some time and effort and that is a good way. Now, the bad way - quick an risky: you can try some hacking in file iq-block-country.php, line 351:if (is_array ( $badcountries ) && in_array ( $country, $badcountries )) {    $blockmessage = get_option ( 'blockcountry_blockmessage' );    header ( 'HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden' );    print <p><strong>$blockmessage</strong></p>;    exit ();}You may try this, instead:if (is_array ( $badcountries ) && in_array ( $country, $badcountries )) {    define('ADSENSE_HEADER', '');    define('ADSENSE_CONTENT', '');} else {    define('ADSENSE_HEADER', '<script type=text/javascript><!--google_ad... etc... </script>');    define('ADSENSE_CONTENT', '<script type=text/javascript><!--google_ad... etc... </script>');}And, in your template - just print them:<?php echo ADSENSE_HEADER; ?><?php echo ADSENSE_CONTENT; ?>Example above is also a good example of bad coding (downvoting would not be surprise here), but it is an answer, I believe.Very important: if you go with bad way - prepare your backups. If something goes wrong, I can not help you. Consider that as a pseudocode, and if works - as a temporary solution, and ask iq-blockcountry developers to implement AdSense feature.
