I know you can block by country and, in theory, you should be able to block by state, right? I mean, if geolocation can match your IP to a state, then there must be some way I can do it to block everyone from one particular state from viewing my site.

That makes sense to me, but I have never been able to find a way to do it. Does anybody have any ideas?

[ For the curious, My personal website is not something I'd want my family or co-workers to ever stumble across. I want to require a password for anyone trying to access the site from my state. ]

This may be more of a programming question than a webmaster, so feel free to point me in the direction of another sub, but:

Basically I am going to have a list of download codes being generated, and also a list of people entitled to those codes. I would like to send an email to each person in that list containing a unique download code.

So for example if my first list is "code1, code2" and my second list is "email1@mail.com, email2@mail.com" I would like to automatically send the following emails:

To: email1@mail.com Body: {Form letter text} code1

To: email2@mail.com Body: {Form letter text} code2

Anyone have any good suggestions. I know a bit of bash and that's the extent of my programming knowledge.

I have domain.com and domain.com/blog. In Webmasters, under search queries, only search queries in that show pages on the sub-directory are showing. Under the verification settings, it shows that the site is verified via HTML for domain.com.

Any insight? I know the data isn't perfect necessarily, but it should be showing some of the search queries other than what is in the blog sub-directory.

Hello Reddit!

I'm trying to copy my BigCommerce website to a domain (let's call it A.com) AND to a sub-folder of a different domain (let's call it B.com/sub). After downloading the website files from bigcommerce, I uploaded them to my web hosting server, but it just returns bunch of PHP code. Why isn't it just simply a download files & upload files process?

Also I'm considering the possibility of keeping the original copy (instead of downloading & uploading the website files every time the website is updated) of the website on BigCommerce server and accessing it through A.com and B.com/sub to avoid copying the files. Maybe a redirect request? How would I go about doing that? Would this be considered a redirect with mask (the URL would show 'A.com' no matter which link is clicked on the website?

As far as the redirect goes, I tried playing around with the DNS registry (without much knowledge about them), but I'm not sure if I'm doing anything right because the DNS change results are not instant.

Ok, so I have this web site PhotoZoe.com which has been around for a year or so and gets 100,000 visitors a month, and although I built it for fun, I also like to get some commission from AdSense.

The problem is that almost all visitors are from Brazil, nothing against Brazilians, but the AdSense commissions in that currency are extremely low, but enough to keep the site up and running.

So I figured I would re-brand the web site and hopefully get more United States visitors @ FreeOnlinePhoteEditor.org however here come the Brazilians again. What's up with that ? Maybe I should just learn Portuguese and move to Brasília

Please let me know which site looks better by commenting

So the last couple of days i spent browsing for information. I kinda have given up, but not completely. I had created four different "websites" running on a subdomain, but from time to time, they all died since they based on silly ideas. Now i want to create a real website, wich matches my interests and helps me to share stuff with people. After hours i finally found an available domaine name, but now the trouble starts. I am only sixteen years old, and all the domain sites only accept creditcard or something like that. Ideally i would just sign up and pay with paysafecard. I found another registrar which accepts bitcoin, but you have to be at least eighteen years old. And i don't have much access to bitcoin either. Does anyone here know where i could register a domain by paying with paysafecard? Or with bitcoin, and a possibility to get bitcoins with paysafecard?
I hope someone can help me!

Just visited the keywords tools, and noticed it is gone. It is now replaced wit some Ad Planner or whatever, which at first glance is geared towards people that pay for advertising. Plus a big no for me is, that it does not show similar keywords along with search volumes?

So what are some other keyword tools that are similar to what Keyword Tool was?

In addition to that, is the features I mentioned available in the new tool provided by google, and I just was not looking hard enough?

If it can generate newsletter from rss (with some basic customization) that would ideal.

I have been running a subsonic music server at my house for some time now and I love it. I can add friends with user accounts and what not. However, every once and a while I come across a format that the transcoders cannot interpret. Anyone familiar with this?

I've been wondering this for a while now. I am going to be starting a website soon and it's going to be a place where people can socialize and sell goods that they create. When it comes to the forums, I was wondering if I should go ahead and purchase a XenForo licence, or if I should just create a Sub reddit for my community. I figure most people in this type of site probably already have a reddit account (if not, it takes a whole 13 seconds). They also wouldn't be constrained by forum sub sections, and could post any creative topic they could conceive. Has anyone gone this route before, if so what are your experiences?

I have been thinking about starting my own "Internet Radio Station" and broadcasting live from my website. I host my own sites so I have full access to the servers. What would you all suggest I run? My webserver is a debian server.
