SMB is a small or medium business. Per the answer I gave to a separate answer, there's more than meets the eye when you're measuring an online ROI. Text/image only ads would prevent adequate ad fraud tracking. Take the naive scenario where you add some utm parameters to your PPC campaign and call it a day. The next thing you know you can have a bunch of bots crawling your site owing to click bots and referral spam, alongside fake user bots building profiles by replaying bits and pieces of actual traffic sessions, the two combining to messing up your traffic stats. And if you're large enough to have sophisticated fraudsters target your site, another cohort of bots might show up registering to your SaaS to test stolen CC numbers, messing up your sign up stats to boot. And, don't get me wrong here. I'm an engineer too and I've been using ad blockers for longer than I've been neck deep into marketing and sales. I just get where you're coming from. But the sorrier realities on the ground are not as simple as one might think from afar.
