I used an ad blocker until I started showing ads on one of my websites.
Now, I click ads on blogs I read frequently and tools that I use and support. Gittip and Flattr (and Bitcoin) could replace this behavior if they had wider adoption.
- __david__ 13y agoReally? I didn't stop. In fact, it caused me 20 to 30 minutes of debugging over a couple of times because I couldn't figure out why my ads weren't showing up :-).
- troels 13y agoI swear I did the same, only with Ghostery and Facebook.
- nathancahill 13y agoYep. Did that too. Switched it off after that and never turned it back on.
- lazyjones 13y ago> Now, I click ads on blogs I read frequently and tools that I use and support The rampant click fraud (abusing ads as a donation link) is another nail in the coffin for online ads, although currently Google rakes in billions from such behavior due to the advertisers' credulity. I don't believe that Gittip and Flattr could replace it because it's much more tempting to "donate" the advertisers' money than your own. But it would be much more honest on behalf of the publishers.
- brainburn 13y agoYou mean are merely costing the publishers money
