Stopping Adblock

kirbyquerby

Many people have software which blocks ads, meaning that users don't get paid for the clicks they receive, and advertisers don't get as much traffic. These people get to use the service for free, when they really should be viewing the ads to support the users. I recommend using something like this, this, or something else to stop people from using ad blockers when they open adfocus links, so that users can get paid for the clicks they get. A script that simply does not allow you to access adfocus shortened links when an adblocker is enabled should work fine.

    We have no intention of blocking users who use AdBlock.

    Wouldn't users with adblock lower income, though?

    Yes but it's a miniscule, insignificant percent of users on the web who use AdBlock.

    What I think is the next best thing to actually stopping people that use AdBlock is to let them know that they're hurting the sites they like to use.

    Look into something like Adblock Detector http://adblockdetector.com/ which is a simple piece of (encrypted) JavaScript which you can use on your site to display a message if the visitor is using Adblock. We have only tested it breifly so cannot vouch for its reliability however it is encrypted to prevent reverse engineering, making it harder for AdBlock to circumvent.
