I have a problem with my advertising. The story is I just got my site up and running 2 days ago and have placed a banner ad on it. I have a system that checks how many impressions I am getting on my ads so from my site I can see that I should have about 28K ad impressions in the past couple of days but when I check how many impressions I have got from the ad site and on it I have only got no more than 3k and that is a difference of 25K. SO could someone help me and let me know why is there a big difference. The site is picq.us
Many people surf with adblocker, which means they do not see your ads. So regardless of what number you "should have" you can always count on it being a lot lower in real life or with your advertising company. That send a pretty clear message that your viewers do not want to see ads there and you should try to find other means of revenue.
This is something ad compaines surely do not tell you...because if they told you the truth, then you would not advertise with them. Forced ads are a thing of the past, if people do not want to see your ads, then they wont see your ads due to their ad blockers.... You would have to be a dishonest ad company not to tell their advertisers that their ads may not even show up due to ad blockers.
so guys do you have any ideas on how I can stop this or a different way to earn revenue as I have started to already recieve decent amount of traffic and would have to payout for all the views
There are ways to stop people from viewing your site if they have ad blocker enabled, but seriously, how many people do you just close and surf away and how many do you really disable their adblocker and then surf into your site? If you are paying people to bring visitors to your site, my best best advice to you is to stop doing that. because you will not be able to get visitors cheaper than the advertising companies pay to you. Or at least not very likely. So your best bet would be to try to work on your site and get antural, free visitors, because that will eventually earn you more money. There are no shortcuts.
@careygold Please stop bumping threads to increase you post count as this get you in trouble Ant guys would this work If i got some private advertises as the banners you look like pictures and you be able to bypass the adblockers or would this not work
If you really hand code them in, as just images (clickable) then yes, it would work. But many features such as easy statistics, click through rates, views and such would not be easily verifiable and private advertisisers would for natural causes be very wary of that and not wanting to pay as much as an effect there of. Most iframes, ad rotator scripts and such will be filtered out by any modern ad blocker.
thanks for all the help guys but have one more question would adblocker also stop google analytics giving stats and if so what kind of program should i use then
Thanks for the help I found out I was getting traffic from a country that was supposed to be blocked as there was a problem with it but everything seems ok now
