We know adblockers are annoying and as a user, you don’t want to see some annoying ads all over your web page. But, have you ever thought about how some website that doesn’t sell any service manages their expenses? How do they afford hosting and domains? How do they earn? ADS!
Ads are the 1st primary revenue source for most personal bloggers out there. They are mostly depended on the ad revenue to manage their expenses.
Adblockers prevent the ads from showing up on the user’s browser, which results in a low impression of ads and thus results in lower-income.
Any forum owner with a tech niche would have definitely seen some deduction in their ads revenue due to the users using adblockers. This truly demotivates the blogger. You work for hours to write blogs and that doesn’t result as expected.
You cannot directly tell the users to disable their adblockers but can show some notice to users to request them to pause their adblockers.
Today we are sharing some addons that can help you show a notice to the users with adblockers on your site. Request them to turn off their adblockers or whitelist your forum.
Some of the below addons will display a notification popup to turn off the adblockers, while some will completely restrict the user to use the forum until they pause the blockers.
While we suggest you avoid such addons that prevent users to use the forum since the users might feel annoying and may leave your forum and turn to your competitors.
On the other hand, if your forum is unique or it provides some valuable content to their user, the members will happily turn off their adblockers for you.
Use these add-ons to display a notice or popup for users to turn off their adblockers or white list your site.
