So, is there any adult ad networks working with ad blockers to have their ad service on an approved ad list, or is everyone still just trying to fight it? https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads
My guess is the first to accept and adapt will control the adult ad business  |
Reading that link just pisses me off. Who are they to dictate how I format my ads on my website? (yes yes I know they have a ton of installed plugins, but I can circumvent it).

It becomes simple. Pay them if you want your ads to load, or don't pay them and no one earns.

I fully agree, this problem is only growing. The question still is what we do about it.

Move on and work with the 85% (or less) that can see your ads and that you could get a click thru from. There are very few websites that have no competition so as to afford excluding people using an ad blocker -- that just would lower the traffic counts they use to sell ads. Pissing in the wind -- get over it. It's a lose-lose scenario and a fool's battle |
I think you assume too much Barry. The assumption that people who use ad blockers solely do so because they don't want to see any ads is mistaken IMO. While it is true for a (large) part of them, there is a also a part that has it either pre-installed or does it because they don't want intrusive ads.
Now I would never block the content, I think that's a bad solution and one that makes no sense. I can't force people to turn off their ad-blocker. I can circumvent it, sure, but what's the best way to do it without pissing off the surfer and still get some income from that ad-spot...? It's also way more than 15% of surfers that use ad blockers btw.

Overuse of useful means of advertising has forced the user to run away from all ads just to get away from the hell most of you put them through....
Necessity is the mother of invention and I'm sure new means of advertising have yet to come to fruition but even as it does spread through the marketplace, it too will be overused and even blocked.
You Reap What You Sow
The more technologically advanced we become the further back the industry will be forced to retreat to..... hard coded text ads
So use the script that detects ad blocking and show a version of your website that displays them instead.
Pain in the ass to be sure, but don't for a second believe they aren't effective. This industry was built on them.....

I agree. Going back to showing hard coded text ads or static ads is not the way forward. Contextual and integrated marketing of products are - I just wish someone had some awesome examples with some findings on how the ad blocking surfers react to this.
