IE7 Pro Now With Ad Blocker By Default

I just installed IE7 Pro and by default it blocks ads. I visited some of my sites and even the widgetbucks are blocked. I wonder what the future of ads on line will be.

 

I didn't like IE7 before, and now I hate it. Does it even block the standard adsense ads?

 

Adsense will come up with a way to get around this, if it doesn't.... i'll mean less revenue for them... which I don't think they will like.

 

does it really? thats kind of interesting, microsoft is challenging google kinda head on then, aren't they?

or is IE7 Pro not made by MS?

 

I bet it doesn't block Microsoft's Adcenter. Maybe someone could supply a link for you to try.

Ugh!!

 

If you put this code into the footer of the page it will reject visitors blocking your ads. It works for adsense.
Btw that is scary, What is I.E7 Pro?

<script>
function blockedads()
  {
  var giframe = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
  var bod = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
  var blocked=1;
  for (var i = 0; i < giframe.length; i++)
    {
    var name = giframe[i].getAttribute("name");
    if(name == "google_ads_frame")
      {
      var blocked=0;
      }
    }
  if(blocked)
    {
    bod[0].innerHTML = '<br> <br>Sorry this page cannot be displayed because adblocking software has been detected';}
  }
setTimeout('blockedads()', 4000);
</script>

Code (markup):

 

Does that work in all browsers that have the "AD BLOCK" software? Very interesting... I didn't know there was a code to do that!

 

But I think nothing can beat Mozilla.

 

So does it block the adsense ads?

 

Its works by detecting if the Adsense Iframe is present, so if the Adsense Ads are not loaded. Then the script will remove the elements of the page and put the desired text to your visitor. So this works not just for adblock but also HOST file blocking as well.

Thanks to articlewagon.com for that code!

 

is this work for blogger blogs ?

 

Very nice!

Thanks for that bit of code.

 

Yes. I am going to try the code on the page and see if it passes the adblock

 

Thanks for the code,
IE7 Pro is an adon for ie - some tweaks, such as adblock

 

I dont think MS makes it - third party crap.

 

It doesn't matter. People have been worried about this for years, but it's never mattered. For every savvy Internet user who will utilizes this ad blocking software (even ones that come pre-installed) there are 1000 more who has no idea what it is and will never use it, and still 1000s more who are just discovering the Internet every day. Don't sweat it.

 

I like your attitude. Your right, today is today and my main concern should be adding content and bringing traffic to my sites.
Thanks

You are correct. MS is not affiliated with it. ie7pro is registered to some guy out of Beijing of all places.

 

I agree. I run the script to stop ad-blockers though. I do not put a lot of effort in it but its easy and ups my earnings 10-15%. Members also have the option to purchase the option to remove tags on my forums. For 10 dollars a year they gain access to additional forums and an ad-free skin. Removing the effectiveness of the ad-blocking software just makes sure they can not do an end run. Like you said though, at the end of the day I am not loosing sleep over it and it the fix took more than 30 seconds I would not bother. For those who have not seen the script in use I run it at: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum
If course if you do not have an ad-blocker you will not see any difference.

 

Would this not qualify as drawing attention to the ads (the ones they see after they unblock?)
