    YES. Honestly, I see them, some sites I have to take the time to separate whats an ad from whats a genuine link but now that I think about it, I never actually read the content of the ads or if I do, it doesn't register in my brain.

    Well, you can block ads (especially adsense adds) by disabling javascript on your browser. That is the only way I can think of...

    Or, if you have a static IP address you could try to script the page so that if the IP address matches your own, don't show adds. Now we are getting into a lot more details, I guess, but those are the only two ways I can think of that you can block ads... Come to think of it, you can block ANY kind of adds if you script it to filter them based on the IP.. :)

    Sometimes you see just what you're looking for in an ad so I don't block them.

    Actually, you can easily download browser extensions that filter out ads from content

    But based on this poll, I'm happy to say that over 90% don't!

    Why would I get 'vice versa' results? That doesn't make sense. Use full English words please, I'm having a difficult time deciphering your reply.

    I don't block adsense ads, on some sites if there are excessive image ads I will right click those in firefox and block those, but thats it.

    He's probably talking about blocking MFA sites on his AdSense account.

    I know how to block adsense but I didn't block it.

    I need to see how other sites are blending the adsense and the real contents... :)

    Then, I'll try to get around it and learn how to do the blending also...;)
