Adblocking: Number One Thing to be Fixed

Adsense needs to do something to overcome adblocking.

I consider my site to be a midsize site with only rich content.

Adsense always shows an average of 700-800 less page impressions the three other stats that I am fowllowing each day including Google Analytics.

I figured due to Adblocking Adsenase, publishers and the advertisers are loosing lots of potential each day.

I contacted Adsense and asked if anything they can do in thea future to be able to overcome adblocking. They said they will work on it and will consider.

I feel that Adsense realizes the damage that Adblocking is causing.

What are your thoughts?

Have you contacted Adsense and gave feedback on this issue?

Thanks.

It's not just adblocking, it's also people turning off javascript. I don't think there will ever be a way to force ads onto a user. The only other way would to be ban the users which don't see your ads. However, that in itself cause problems.

I think Adsense may be realizing the problem and they will work on it. May be there is another way to create a code?

Have you addressed the issue with the Adsense team?

The only way Google could address this problem is by cutting deals with the ad blocking software designers so that they don't block Google ads.

Or...offer a tool for FREE (or at least cheap) that is more attractive than everything else out there, to make the other programs obsolete. (Like they are doing with Analytics.)

Microsoft is moving in this direction and you can bet Google is as well.

Now that Adsense isn't the only game in town they have to address the competition from the other side to maintain their marketshare.

There is a solution but only premium publishers have access to it.

Unless you all get real smart and can implement or install server side scripting there isn't much AdSense can do to solve this except sit and spin on their thumbs.

What is the percentage of users that visit your site that have jave enabled? On my site that number is 97.85% Yeah, it would be nice to have the other 2.15% jave enable as well.

Does anyone have any idea or any facts on what would be a good percentage of java enabled users should be for a site?

Here's one thing you can do.
How many of you are hosted with 1and1.com?
Did you just get a letter about more features and space?
Did you see they are offering 3 months free Norton Internet Security?
Did you search through the email and find a place for feedback?
Did you let them know what Norton does and how prevents us from showing even the 1and1 banners on our sites?
Did you let them know that if they continue to promote Norton, you would find someone who doesn't?

I did. I am sure there are other companies promoting Norton that aren't aware they are promoting someone who is working against them. Let them know.
