It's fairly simple: none of those steps happen, because since the advertiser's scripts and iframes are blocked, they don't even know you've loaded a page with an ad on it.
- windsurfer 12y agoI've created code that test to see if ads are blocked based on failed-to-load scripts. I'm sure others have as well.
- walterbell 12y agoAre you a publisher or advertiser?
- windsurfer 12y agoNeither, just a coder.
- PointerReaper 12y agoBased on end-user experience during accessibility testing, I'm pretty sure they do detect the presence of tools such as AdBlock, test to see if certain elements were successfully provided before continuing with a specific set of ads, and also make some assumptions about providing "errors" to end users that only people with something like AdBlock or NoScript _should_ see.
- hartator 12y agoThey can't at all because nothing is loaded. Check the network tab of chrome with/without adblock enabled and you will see the difference.
- scholia 12y agoNonetheless there are websites that give you a notice to say that you have AdBlock enabled, and some even tell you to disable it in order to use the site....
- hartator 12y agoYes! But if you add the anti-Adblock script to Adblock, they won't work as well. (Doesn't mean the website will still work however!)
