    Question about ad blockers

    Does anyone know a good way to get around ad blockers. I'm talking about the little programs that will block your banner ads from being displayed. The one in particular that i'm having trouble getting around is Norton Internet Security. Any advice you guys can give is appreciated.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

    make sure you name the banner directory something other than 'ads' 'banners' 'advertising' etc etc
    the hun gets revenue from pre-paid gallery placements on the top 15 spaces and banners.
    the rest of thegalleries are free placements.

          aight, I tried renaming my directory named 'ads' to 'revsrc' and updated my banner script, but the ads are still not showing through NIS. Any other suggestions?

            You will find that Nortons actually blocks some of the sponsor sites by name. Maxcash is one that is blocked by name.

            There is a url encoding program for sale called Link Cloaker 5 that will encode your links and fool Nortons.

              size of the image may also be an issue. In the past, I would download blacklists off the internet and add them to my hosts file. Anything from those domains was blocked.

                Global Dialers made a good point... don't call your ad directory, ads, banners, etc. but I see you tried that already. Some of them are getting "smart" and recognizing affiliate codes. They see a code, it assume it is a banner and won't display it. One way around this is pointing to a simple php w/ a redirect in it.

                <?p h p
                h e a d er ('Location: http://your.linkingcode.here');
                ?>

                  I do use a script now that displays a random image, also the link goes to another script i use to track clicks, and then redirect them to another site. The click tracking script is named 'adclick.asp' so maybe i need to change that to remove the word ad.

                      DHTML exits work well for me.

                        Would mod_rewrite help any in the php area?
