Ad blockers will block images that are standard banner ad size. Maybe a text ad has "ad" somewhere in it's in CSS. We do only internally hosted ads and non-JS text sidebar ads and they're happily blocked by all major ad blockers. Doing everything "right" is no defense.
I'm not saying you can't make ads completely indistinguishable from content but I also don't think that's the solution that we want either.
- JepZ 9y agoThanks :-) I didn't know they also look for common banner sizes.
- pas 9y agoSome people just don't want ads. Paradoxically, the sites I care most about are the ones I want to periodically visit, and enjoy without the ads. So the ad blocker will have filters fine tuned for those. Is that a sustainable business model? Well, no. There's a direct donation on sites nowadays luckily.
