webmaster1 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've downloaded and installed Piwik. It's location detection based on IP addresses is fairly inaccurate even after installing the recommended plugins. Can someone please suggest a free solution with accurate location detection? I'm really stuck on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeytooth Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I can't really think of a free location service to build your own apps with. I think GeoIP may have a Lite Version in sorts. But if your looking purely for statistical reasons why not install Google analytic onto your site. They record everything I can think of, its an extra line or 2 of code, you sign up for the account and they give it to you. Its free, comes with its own dashboard, etc..

.josh Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I don't think google analytics offers IP tracking. I think it's against their privacy policy or somethin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmaster1 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 *bump Any non-lite geoip tracker plugins or softwares that can be used in conjunction with analytics? I'd even be happy with an application that allows me to copy and paste the IP into it. I'm looking for accuracy i.e. city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmaster1 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 I work from Cork, Ireland for example and yet this application: http://www.geoiptool.com/ tells me I'm based in Dublin. Does anything with a little more accuracy exist? And freely of course, because allegedly, like the best things in life, I'm cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
