Guide Review - Advanced Email Locator 1.62
Fortunately, there is the whois database of domain owners with precise geographic data. Advanced Email Locator queries this database. This works much better than assuming .com is in the U.S., for example, because there are legions of .com domains owned by people around the world.
What about free email services? Advanced Email Locator knows about these and wisely does not assume any country.
All in all a valuable marketing tool, although, of course, the data obtained with Advanced Email Locator should be taken with a grain of salt.
