So there’s been some talk around the blogosphere recently about Adblock, starting off from the one guy who decided to block all Firefox users from his website due to the fact that they can block ad’s with the Adblock extension. Tom Raftery has made a post about his thoughts on it here.
As a blogger, who has ZERO ads on his website, I’m Pro-Adblock, even when I did have ad’s on my website Adblock is a handy feature. Readers who don’t want to see ad’s don’t have to, true your not going to make any money out of them but you wouldn’t anyway. Anyone who is “smart” enough to install Adblock is smart enough to not click some random ad! Honestly I think at the end of the day alot of people have lost track of what having a website is about, its all about income now! How much money can I make from this and that! I’m totally against Google Ads. Sponsorship I don’t mind, an optional Pay service, or perhaps even just a nice old donate feature. I click Ad’s for “Sponsors” on websites. Just due to the fact as they are actually relevant to what I’m looking for, I know of no blog with an optional “pay service” so I can’t say I have done that. However, the nice old paypal donate buttons, if I like your post, I will donate to you!
But back on track, blocking out Firefox users just because they could possibly have an ad-blocking service is ridiculous. And the whole “We give you free content they should have to look at ads” thats even more stupid. Seriously guys, your not making that much from ad’s! Because if you were you would not be complaining! As well as that, like it or not you need the Firefox users. You stop Firefox users from coming to your website your locking out a good portion of the internet that is not going to be happy about it, your potential for sponsorship will be very low.

You people are so strange sometimes!
