I am implementing GeoTargeting in my website to show different content based on whether traffic is from US or NON US.
I have every thing set up the way it should be. Now I want to test and see if its working for NON US traffic.
How can I do that. I would like to also test features of the website when I am testing for NON US traffic.

Two professional solutions:
Geosurf
GeoEdge
Both offer a toolbar as plugins for some browsers where you can "simulate" (aka proxy).

You need some sort of geolocation database to test against. Here's one: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/
From there, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out where users are coming from... though it will never be 100% accurate.
There's also the HTML5 geolocation: http://html5demos.com/geo - but users have to explicitly allow location reporting... and it doesn't work all the time, either, even if they accept.

When I created my pet site and visiting it. I noticed money systems and pet systems all need database for them. But I'm wondering is there any way to create new rows for money system? I need money system for that to purchase virtual pets and itens.
So is there any codes when i click on a thing in the site that adds or removes from database date? Thank you a lot!
I thought that follows that code before I know DB:
<?php
$coin=50;
?>
There are no 'magic buttons' working out of the box - you can get that kind of button but you need to create DB structure, connection, write proper functions/methods (depends on your coding approach) and then bind it to that button.
Even if you are going to use some package/plugin or whatever you find useful - you need to have configured DB to be able to use that.
It is even hard to send you some links with examples/documentation as you did not give any kind of information regarding what (I guess) CMS or service you are using.
Deliver more info and then there is a chance that someone will be able to help.

I have a lot of .php and/or .php files on my site. Is there a way to go through each site/page and work out which ones(if any) have errors in the console in the broswer?
More generally, I am looking at making a change to many pages on my site and I am just wondering what is the best way to automate the test process to see that I did not break anything with the changes I made.
Note: the errors in the console in the broswer, will give me errors, but it would not show errors that only the human eye could detect.
Have you considered an automated testing framework?

Repetitively manually testing ur site is not fun.

I had searched by google and this forum-search and I didnt get any about this so I propose a new topic: WordPress with the ability to fight with Ad-Blocker.
I am not an IT guy (subsea engineer) but I am having website with about 100 - 200 unique visitor/day now (according to adsense) as hobby (1%-4% using ad-blocker - I am lucky to have these ~97% my visitors).
I just learn that ad-block users are about 300 mil and it is a huge problem to big publisher (they earn money from ads). Ad-blocker using bandwith, upload data to their server and some (one of them - I expect more of them) sell the data as anons.
In accordance to the above idea,
I have a question as a-non IT guys, is there a way to make WordPress to tackle ad-blocker (auto)?
It may be a way to disarm ad-blocker. My website is like my home/house. You/Visitors can visit but please consider the owner.
No from what I can tell, it keeps a list of servers which are used to serve advertisements. Whenever you visit any website, the web browser has to fetch the components from the various servers. Adblock simply blocks the connections to any item on its list of ad servers, thus blocking all or most ads. The list of servers has to be updated ever so often which it does in the backend.

I have a special question well I need to know technologies behind monitoring website like pingdom.com
What is the beneficial language to use to develop this platform ? what library we can use ? What about distributed solution ?
Thank you in advance
I think this is more of an opinion than a question (which is why it's received negative votes). This type of service could be developed in many languages. It's based on a few key principals.
Can the site be reached? Yes/No
What determined that the site could not be reached? Did it timeout?
What is the max timeout that we will allow before we decide its unreachable?
How does the site fair from other sources, worldwide, well we'll need to run the same code from multiple servers, and know where they are. This could be done with something like amazon which lets you set them up from all over the world.
How does this fair compared to the last time we pinged it? (we'll need to store the result in a database for reference and feedback to the user)
You could easily make this sort of service in something like PHP, but like I said, it could be made in many languages, hence why this is an opinion as theres no real clear answer to this.
The biggest problem a site like pingdom.com has has
- Number of requests (they use a queuing system to stop their servers being overloaded)
- They make cash by monitoring sites all the time. So they need to make sure the value add revenue generated outweighs the cost of free users (leads they generate), which it clearly would, as they are so cheap.
Hope this helps.

I am working on a news paper website which has epaper facility. I am developing it in php.
Is there any script or something else where I can learn how to make an epaper site.
I want solution like this http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Client.asp?Daily=TOIM&showST=true&login=default&pub=TOI&Enter=true&Skin=TOINEW&AW=1333084145015
Please help me out..
ePaper in your context is a web app developed by Pressmart, and it appears to be proprietary, or at the very least not developer-friendly. So I highly doubt there have been advances in PHP libraries for it.
I'm sure as a partner, they have internal documentation and tech support that you can request more information from. They may even have a web API with PHP examples (I've seen worse companies that knew they had to keep up).
This is all info I've gathered in the last 7 minutes, so there may be more out there. But you should always reach out to the developer support of the product if they don't have easy access to documentation, as this is a sure-sign that there is not a large population of developers in the general community that will know what you're talking about, let along give insight.
