If you're in a niche with decent prospects for contextual advertising, there's an easy way around most ad-blockers.
Set up a small piece of editorial content and embed some affiliate links into it.
- jasonkostempski 9y agoIf I came to a site, liked what it was about, noticed it didn't get any hits by uBO and saw an affiliate link with text (no images hosted elsewhere) like "Do you need AAA batteries and would like to support our site? Click Here", it's very likely I would click the link if I will need the thing any time soon. It doesn't have to be related to the content of the page or fit the genre of the site, it doesn't need to try and guess exactly what I need at this very second or prey on my insecurities. Just links to basic necessities.

- jasonkostempski 9y agoThats exactly the edge of the cliff everyone jumped off so many years ago. Even if they don't have to drop in a third-party JS snippet on their site to get that feature, now you have to question the motives of the author.
- intrasight 9y agoEven better - just have a text message "Sponsored by XYZ". This has worked for hundreds of years. I don't see why it can't work now.
