Our findings is that at least 40% of the visitors are using ad blockers of some sort and that number is growing. That is a LOT of revenue that's just lost....And if the trend continues, ad blockers will be in and enabled on almost every browser by the year 2018.

Today a lot of webmasters rely on selling ads, so if you are one of them the question stands:

What are you doing about users blocking your ads? Education? Intrusion? Redirection? Nothing?
Do people who use an Ad Blocker, do it because they want to click on ads. Or because they don't?

Like Spam Arrest, do we use it because we want spam, or don't want it?
