Ask HN: How much I affect Ad revenue by blocking it?

2 points by praving5 10y ago

Hi All, I have been using ad blocker since ages and now I am close to blocking over a million ads. How much ad revenue approximately did I impact?

For a 'typical' web site (ex. not Facebook or about video games or anime or programming) $1 per thousand page views is a plausible value. Let's assume there are 5 ads per page, so if you block a million ads you've affected 200,000 pages. Divide by 1000 and that is $200.

You said, "200,000 pages per year comes to 550 pages per day." For the average "human" I think 1/5 that number is more reasonable in terms of page visits per day.
