I read this trick on another forum and it works fine, really simple to do, you simply have to add a wrong ip for the adsense server in your hosts file, below an example for window:

  1. open the file : C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with notepad it should look at below
  2. add the two blue line & save it

and you can do the same for any other adverttisment server

yes, and it also only works for adsense.

ff + adblock + noscript and you’re good to go :slight_smile:

For me, adsense helps to refinance my site. People want all websites to be free but are not willing to accept some non-immersive adds like adsense? lwjgl.org has adds as well as dzzd.net has…If you want to earn some money by placing adds on YOUR site, you should accept them on others too, IMHO.

at home I dont use adblock - only noscript.
at work I use both adblock and noscript, but I actually allow adsense ads, because I dont mind them. but I will actively and aggressively disable flash and flashy ads!!

Advertisment are now everywhere in the stree, on your wear, on Internet, world is becoming crazy with advertisement… I definitly stop watching TV two years ago due too advertisment!, I dont think it should not exist, but I tink there are too much.

I did it too right now :slight_smile:

I just don’t have flash installed.

I make a good chunk of money from AdSense. I understand people who block ads, though. I seriously hate TV ads, and usually just stick to DVDs because of it. Online ads usually don’t bother me (except for pop-overs… and audio ads… okay I could probably name a few others… :slight_smile:

There are scripts to detect ad-blocking. I’m not sure how well they work, but I’ve seen a site that incorrectly thought I had blocked ads (bad internet connection), and it asked me to ‘subscribe’ instead. Seems reasonable to me.

#11

Ye, blocking adsense (or generally any type of non-animated ads) is a bit silly. One shouldn’t punish sites with unobtrusive ads.

Well, from a financial standpoint programmers are pretty much the worst audience to begin with. There is little need to make it worse.

#12

From a more realistic perspective on the issue… I have never, ever, once seen anything on Adsense that I have wanted to click on. Quite often it’s totally irrelevant. So why a site should be paid for serving a totally pointless irrelevant ad to me is beyond me. I’ll save them the pennies :slight_smile:

It’s pretty on-topic on my site. Well, for the most part. The one for latex sex gear was a bit irritating. :wink:

that’s true that’s adsense is maybe less agressive than other advertiser, but as it have most of the market place, you see it every where and hundreds of times every days, and that’s boring.
