This paper makes the case for identifying and exploiting the geographical location information of web sites so that web search engines can rank resources in a geographically sensitive fashion, in addition to using more traditional information-retrieval strategies.
Determining the geographic location of Internet hosts
35 Citations2001Venkata N. Padamanabban, L. Subramanian
Three distinct techniques, GeoTrack, GeoPing, and GeoCluster, are developed that exploit information derived from the DNS, network delay measurements, and inter-domain routing to determine the geographic location of an Internet host knowing only its IP address.
