I suspect most people who install adblock plus, aren't the kind of people who click on ads. So I suspect, even if (theoretically speaking) blocking ads was made impossible, the net impact would be much smaller than imagined.
This will just impact those people who had it installed for them, and who happen to update. I doubt that will be the saviour of many small sites - if adblock plus was killing them in the first place that is.
- ghani 15y agoI know Google Adsense pays out a bit for "impressions", just displaying their ad on the page. I'm not sure how much revenue this really generates for very small sites though.
- X-Istence 15y agoGoogle Adsense doesn't pay at all for impressions ... at least I haven't ever received money from them just for impressions.
- nikcub 15y agothe standard adsense doesn't, but the publishing network does (with doubleclick)
- maximusprime 15y agoThey do a lot of CPM now.
- loopdoend 15y agoTheoretically speaking, blocking them is completely impossible. Websites aren't spam, they have structure and content, and ads are obvious. The ads have similar sizes, positions, elements, cookies, yadda yadda. This is about money.
