Google ads are pretty much a given on the web these days, but we’re polling at the Vault9 Forums to decide whether logged in users should see the top ad or not.

Have your say before time runs out !

Ad-Blocking is BAD!! You should read my article on this subject Anti-Ad Blocking

I happen to think ad-blocking is out of line. It costs the publishers thousands of dollars a year to accommodate for people who want to skim the content and refuse to provide the publishers with any value in return. Consuming content is part of modern living, you cant get a news paper or magazine without ads, nor can you get you TV shows without them, despite the use of DVRs which is made for replay, not for skipping ads.

I liken the ad blocking to stealing. I dont think anyone would want to be on the other side, trying to eek a living from our creativity. Why are actors and musicians entitled to make money from people consuming their artistic works and web masters are not?

I have collected a whole lot of information on this subject and have recently release a technology that bypasses ad-blocking software. Of course it is up to the web master to use this Anti-Ad blocking technology with caution. With the power to deliver ads at their whim it must be critical for the publisher to recognize what is a good mix of ads and content. If people come to your site and are bombarded with ads every time the visit they will soon quit visiting your website.

I enable the publisher to deliver ads, if they abuse the tool its not my fault. People will vote with their clicks in the end.

Thats how it should be. I think that people will figure that in order to consume good content they will have to deal with the ads. Thats a fact of life and it will remain that way if I have anything to say about it.

Ciao.

Was this a spam? If not, Dylan I think you misunderstand our topic. We’re voting on whether or not logged in members should see a top ad space.

In response to Dylan Rosario, I have only recently begun to employ ad blocking. I agree that the revenue is important to the web sites, and I’ve put up with it as the price of admission, however it is becoming annoying. Recently, the advertising from ads by Google has begun to appear in Spanish. That’s not too annoying, except the Spanish advertisers are using sound, and that is annoying. I found that simply turning off Java Script fixes that problem, but as Dylan has pointed out, the web masters and advertisers will develop counter measures to combat this, and the whole situation will spiral out of control. I am delivering content to a few web sites for free, I don’t see why I can’t view those web sites with out being annoyed by poor advertising. Perhaps registered users should be given the ability to opt-out.
