Tech Question about redirect visitors by country?

[Brian mike]

I have few countries i try to redirect to another offers so i find this website

"Are you looking for code snippet to redirect visitors by country?"
https://www.ip2location.com/free/visitor-redirection

Please note i have not really any knowledge on coding so bare with me
I need to know if using site like this can help us "webmaster with limited knowledge" or if it risky and that will create a backdoor for who ever use those code.

Thanks Grumpy


this is the code generate by this tools to redirect countries

PHP Code:

<?php
require 'IP2Location.php';
 
$loc = new IP2Location('databases/IP-COUNTRY.BIN', IP2Location::FILE_IO);
$record = $loc->lookup($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], IP2Location::ALL);
 
if($record == 'CN') {
    header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    header('Location: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/?p=3054&media_type=adult&pi=allsitesunwantedcountry');
    exit;
}
 
if($record == 'IN') {
    header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    header('Location: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/?p=3054&media_type=adult&pi=allsitesunwantedcountry');
    exit;
}
 
if($record == 'RU') {
    header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    header('Location: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/?p=3054&media_type=adult&pi=allsitesunwantedcountry');
    exit;
}
 
if($record == 'UA') {
    header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    header('Location: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/?p=3054&media_type=adult&pi=allsitesunwantedcountry');
    exit;
}
 
?>

I would have to install this IP2Location PHP Module first.

PHP Code:

<?php
require 'IP2Location.php';
 
/*
   Cache whole database into system memory and share among other scripts & websites
   WARNING: Please make sure your system have sufficient RAM to enable this feature
*/
// $db = new \IP2Location\Database('./database/IP-COUNTRY-SAMPLE.BIN', \IP2Location\Database::SHARED_MEMORY);
/*
   Cache the database into memory to accelerate lookup speed
   WARNING: Please make sure your system have sufficient RAM to enable this feature
*/
// $db = new \IP2Location\Database('./database/IP-COUNTRY-SAMPLE.BIN', \IP2Location\Database::MEMORY_CACHE);
 
 
/*
    Default file I/O lookup
*/
$db = new \IP2Location\Database('./database/IP-COUNTRY-SAMPLE.BIN', \IP2Location\Database::FILE_IO);
 
$records = $db->lookup('8.8.8.8', \IP2Location\Database::ALL);
 
echo '<pre>';
echo 'IP Number             : ' . $records['ipNumber'] . "\n";
echo 'IP Version            : ' . $records['ipVersion'] . "\n";

echo '</pre>';
?>

Google doesn't like it unless you're redirecting to country specific pages on the same domain. eg: https://apple.com/au or https://adobe.com/jp etc

How are you seeing that traffic? Google Analytics?

Have you confirmed it's real traffic? ie: visitors entering your site and moving between pages?

If not, could it be fusker type traffic? There's a few very big Indian fusker sites.

If it is real traffic then you need to think about how to convert that traffic from your site rather than redirect it.

Do you have bollywood mp3's on your site, because that looks like what the page traffic is going to.

Look in the top left hand corner of the second image you posted.

There are two directories

/temp/
/bollywood mp3/

There could be more but you've only provided a small amount of information, but it's enough to see that you've likely been hacked and people are downloading what they think are bollywood mp3 files. That would explain the sudden influx of Indian traffic.
