Seeem that everyone love adblocker.... then please... call microsoft ie, firefox, chrome, safari and other browser:Let make adblocker default or builtin with each and every browser out there... Block all java script... Let adsense/google out of bussiness... and me tooo have to dump my site
I am pretty sure you can get a script to block this out! Either or if people dont wanna see it, they will not see it!
You may want to do a bit more research. This time concentrate more on the TOS. No truer word spoken. This page as far as I can see, cost you "nothing" for the domain and "nothing" for the hosting. As for the image, is it yours? Did you get permission from Starcraft (the copyright owner) to use their name in it? How about the two "YouTube hosted" videos.. Did you make them, or are you just "using" them without giving credit to the owner? You have absolutely no unique content on that page, none you have made yourself and none that is able to be crawled by a bot. But have 3 AdSense ads on it. Whats worse is you expect to make money off it, money for doing nothing. Then you come in here and go on about freeloaders. FFS. Do your self a favor, research "Chris Anderson's, Free: The future of a radical price". you may learn something. Yeah, I had a quick look... re-read the AdSense T&C and ToS, cause I can see some breaches. Cheers James
Oh man, James, seriously you just owned him. Excellent, that guy has absolutely no idea about what he is talking about. Even better he will never get traffic to that page. Speaking of whats worse then the fact he's using a hosted blogspot account - not a single image is hosted on his site (or image host for that matter), he is hotlinking every image on his page
I can't see any Adsense... Oh wait, i have Adblock. P.S. tattoos just completely handed your backside to you on a platter.
James owned nothing he's off on somthing that isnt true. Google owns blogger so people will use adsense. I make google money im almost like an employee. First off with the youtube videos i can use them why is the an embeded code? If they dont want people using it then dont have the code. Also i have made These youtube videos go from no where to the front on youtube gaming section. Actualy i should be paid for that. Besides i get emails of people asking me to post their videos on my blog so they will get 200-300 views. so they can get further on the front page of youtubes gaming section. As for free hosting i would love to pay for a domain but im not bring enough adsense clicks to do so. I probably have enough traffic but traffic is only 1/4 of the equation. Chris Anderson i have seen this guy on youtube people think this guy is a genius and he really isnt even reinventing the wheel. The guys first of claims you can be rich giving stuff away. Sure ok Let me tell you someone i read about. Robert Kiyosaki Of rich dad poor dad. That is a book you should read. Everything to Robert is the same way i see it. An asset. My blog is my asset it has made me more money then it has cost me. Second im only blogging as a source of income so i can use it to reinvest into other business plans i have. You can not become rich on the web along. And if you think the google guys or somthing is an example that im lying well unless your building the next big thing no blog is going to make you a millionare. Problogger doesnt even make a million a year. A blog is just an asset to give you money to invest with. Traffic wise i dont know why im telling you this but im getting 250 visitors a daily on average sometimes more sometimes less. I have gotten 150 other days i have gotten 650 so it averages out well. Uniqe content haha. the only reason i post so many youtube starcraft matches and other stuff is thats what my followers want so your wrong again. I keep getting emails, Post more youtube matches. People dont want to read unless it is a review of a video game and guess what no new RTS games have came out so i can reveiw somthing that isnt out yet. Now to prove this whole freeloader thing is wrong let me point a friend i have. No names but he is an affiliate marketer expert. The man makes a ton of money every day. We were talking a while back about somthing he said that whole free thing is a waste of time. He goes to tell me... Yep it is easy to say give stuff away when your making money when your broke and got no money and this guy telling you to give it all away starts making me wonder. The reason he gives things away because they will come back and that is when you stick it to them buy making them pay for somthing. As for the whole adblock look what i found http://earthtoblog.com/2009/10/adblock-workaround/ Your telling me he owned me when your writing about how to get around adblock? You see im not the only one worried about this whole adblock thing and proof of this is look on the wikipedia article it says people are worried about this because a whole source of income is from adsense. in 1999 companies were paying 10 dollars a click. Today some pay .1 Did i tell you about when i got paid .35 cents for 12 clicks. Last for the TOS i had the width between those 2 at 50X or whatever you call it for some reason when the page loaded they were spaced out perfectly then when it fully loaded it messed up. The fact that nobody is backing me up on this adblock is weird enough. Who thinks people blocking ad's is a good thing. To block a pop up ok that is fine but some people have to live off that 1 ad.
I am happy and excited to suggest my friends to use ADBLOCK plus firefox add on it is simple and saves time to see your ads set the web free from ads what do you say dear oh dear webmasters ????????????
Yea the shoe fits on both feet... If thats the case then google adsence and others will die as they wont make any money either from there ads. Imagine in 5 years when its time to replace your PC and all new computers have the ad block pre-installed... laterz malcolm
It is not a requirement to use AdSense on Blogger. Every time you buy a new product or recommend a product to someone and they buy it, you make the manufacture of that product money. Do you consider yourself an employee of them as well? Exactly, the same goes for the "Download Ad Block" button. It is there to use if you want to. Good. Implement it, and stop worrying about it. So its ok to block pop up ads, but not to block ads that you use If AdBlock was going to be pre installed on every new computer, then there would be something to worry about. But it's not and never will be. Why? Because nobody that uses advertising to sell a product would be stupid enough to block the advertisements from reaching potential customers. Think about it. Cheers James
I love using adblock plus. No more annoying flash ads, it can get rid of Iframes and pretty much any script that someone can setup, adblock can block it. It helps my computer run faster by not loading all of those ads plus it also helps me from getting malicious trojans/worms/malware etc that some people may stuff into ads. To summarize, adblock plus rocks.
Don't worry, the correction is ramping up. You'll be back in the factory before long and you will be able to afford hamburger helper, and if you work hard, you might be able to get a flatscreen television (or TV).
tattoos has it in the bag. Stop worrying! Adblock is extremely useful but only a small percentage of people actually use it.
I use Adblock and I highly recommend it. I also recommend my forum members to use it, because it does rock. Do I have ads on the site? Yes but, it's still a top firefox addon that deserves mentioning when the topic comes up. If I went to a store and I could browse the internet on a laptop and it had Firefox installed, I'd be happier. Even happier if it did have Adblock there. While it may provide an income, you have the choice to choose this line of work and others have the choice not to see ads. And some sites take the p*ss. Some have their adsense or other ads right on top of the articles and so there is no choice but to use Adblock so you can read their site and perhaps go back again. If I couldn't I'd just find another site. I also found a site that asks uses to disable adblock/any other adblocking program to see their content. I did and, the site wasn't that great and I was only mooching anyway but, if it were a specific kind of site I was looking for, again if it specifically made me disable adblock, I'd find another site. Some ads are really annoying, or adultish. Don't blame the makers of Adblock - or even Firefox, they provide a great browser which is better than IE and even better with addons installed - blame the people who use obnoxious ads, or ad placements! If they didn't exist, I wouldn't be as bothered about using Adblock.
Using adblock on free content sites is a little like using pirate software. As a webmaster your time is much better spent making good content and getting more visitors than worrying if each one is viewing your ads or not though. As other people have mentioned most adblock users are less interested in ads anyway.
I wrote that to inform people there was a workaround available. I don't care what you use it for, it's just free advice. I think you're completely illogical and I still think people should use Adblock. The click price going up is due to one thing: market saturation. Learn the internet.
