I've noticed many people use ad blockers in their browsers. This may be one of the reasons why everyone's earnings from ads are very low. How can we ensure that the ads will show even if they have an ad blocker? If they're visiting my site, then who gives them the right to remove my ads? I don't come to their house and remove their stuff as I please. These ad blockers should be stopped as they do not help the webmasters at all. We need the ad revenue to keep the site working. Ad blockers only help shut down sites faster as the ad revenue drops. If you know of a way to show ads even when ad blockers are installed, please share.
That's almost like saying that a person's TV should not be able to shut off when a commercial comes on. What's the point of forcing ads on people that clearly don't want them? There are ways to detect if someone is using an ad blocker, but I reccommend not treading in those waters. You will quickly annoy your user base if you deny access unless they look at your ads. It is almost always the wrong mentality to butt heads with a problem like this. Rather you should come up with innovate solutions. For example, sites like break.com sell their website's background as an advertisement that is not blocked by ad blockers. Also consider the % of your viewers that are using ad blockers - it's probably small and not worth trying to circumvent.
Maybe you're right but still ad blockers harm many webmasters. If you visit my site, then who gives you the right to remove my ads? If you don't want to see my ads, then leave my site. If you don't want to watch TV ads, you have to change the channel.
Wouldn't you rather have someone visit your site with no ads, potentially like it, and send it to a friend or add it to digg or something? The alternative is they don't go to your site at all which is a lose lose scenario for you anyway.
A site should have more than 1 revenue stream and so relying simply on something like Adsense which can be blocked is always going to be dangerous for the long term life of the site. There is no way of actually forcing Google Adsense for example of showing because of the way it is served. You can do some things to make it banners hosted on your own site more difficult to block by having them in the same folder as all other images and randomising their file name each time they show but the risk is people then block all images, see your site as looking naff and leave. Your better off looking at ways to diversify your revenue streams rather than trying to remove traffic. As others have said, you should not only encourage the adblockers to visit your site but ensure that the site renders correctly for them. If they tell 20 of their friends how great your site is then you get circa 10 new visitors of which probably 7+ see your adverts. Never under estimate word of mouth advertisment.
Well of course no one has to right remove ad or content from website theoretically. But if someone do not want to see those ads, simply they will block.
