Hi All,
I need some Google Analytics help.
I want to ban traffic from one Nation i.e (Pakistan) is there any way to block hits from that region as I do not know the IP. Please explain how to find the particular region IP and block it from visiting my web site.
This is just because this country’s developer had use my website’s Layout, content and each and every thing of my website, they just copied my website so.
Thanks in Advance.

Google Analytics won't help you here. You need to do an IP check on every visit that comes to the site. You'll need an IP database to do this. The most accurate one that I've come across is Quova - http://www.quova.com/page.php?id=171#data3. I should make it clear that whilst we have used Quova in the past, I don't work for them or sell their services.
All you are doing in this situation is a minor effort. If your developer wants access to the website, they probably still have your source code, or they could use Google's cache, so you'll need to disable that in your meta tags by inserting this line in your <HEAD>
<meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="NOARCHIVE">
However, it's a fact of life on the Internet that anything, on any page or file, is so easily copied. Talk to the record companies about that one...
How is blocking traffic from one country because someone there used your site content going to help you?

You can use GeoBytes free script to redirect based on IP GeoLocation. Please be aware this is a free service and IP location detection is not 100% accurate, but may offer a solution.

Are you just wanting to make sure that you don't pay for that traffic or do you want to ban the free (Natural) traffic as well?
