Hello. I have a site with pretty high traffic. After a while my anti adblock script doesn't work. I also tried other wordpress plugins. They worked untill they stop to work. I mean: my browser loads the page with adblock plus, and shows no ads on site, but is not showing anymore the blocking screen, as no anti adblock script is working anymore.

latest cod i used was from antiblock . org. it worked for a month. Now is not working anymore. i don't think it's a plugin or post, because i deleted the latest i installed and still.

Any help please ?

    I'd concentrate on converting the traffic that does want to see ads rather than obsessing over traffic that doesn't want to see ads. People who don't want to see ads bad enough that they install ad blockers, aren't likely to be your strongest customers.

    If you insist on showing your ads to people who don't want to see them, you risk losing traffic. Maybe concentrate on what sbucciarel said, you'd have a lot more to gain..

    Ask yourself WHY you want to show the ads. If it is, as you indicate, to show the ads, the answer is SIMPLE! Put them on one of MANY adsite rotators. They FORBID blockers, though I believe they forbid popups also. HECK, you COULD run a program that just has a browser on your system constantly open the page. You will get LOTS of hits, and the counter will SKYROCKET, and allow ALL the ads to be shown!

    IF, on the other hand, you want a person to SEE your ads, ASK YOUSELF WHY!!!!!!!!!!! I mean the ads can't do ANYTHING unless they trigger something called a BRAIN to respond in a certain way. When annoyed, or bored, a BRAIN will try to figure a way out. HERE, it assesses ONE QUESTION! NOBODY here wants to acknowledge it, but they try to defeat it. The QUESTION is WHAT is the BEST way to avoid this boredom or annoyance. The most immediate response is to click away. The secondary response varies. Block the actual ad? Block the method? Block the site? Leave the site?

    NOW, and this is important! Brains HATE losing! If YOU counter, they REASSESS the solution!

    Your antiadblocker may be failing SIMPLY because the person is adding another layer. SOME adblockers likely have feedback, and may be LEARNING from you! Your feeble attempts to block the adblockers could actually be enabling a popular package to upgrade to the point where your antiadblockers could become worthless over HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of sites!

    People using adblock on my site are just waisting server resources and cpu. If they don't like it better leave. I am not upgrading server just for them. Anti adblock is failing to me without any aditional layer.

      So obviously you have a great deal of respect for your visitors then.

      HUH!?!?!?!?!?

      BTW a good adrotator IS going to use resources. People ARE going to block ads when they get annoyed enough. perhaps 99% of all ads blocked wouldn't have converted ANYWAY! NOBODY cares what you pay.

      But this is confusing! You say you won't upgrade, but must. Does that mean you'll just shut it down?

    You know, even anti adblock scripts have an x button to close. Is not forcing anybody after all. If most of the people around the net would use adblock plus, half of the warrior forums would not exist anymore. Just like you add your ad in post, an add that has nothing to do most of the time with your niche, is an anti adblock. You are offended. Let's see you the day when you will add it.

    No, but more visitors means more server usage. If no revenue, how to keep up with the costs ?

    found out :

    anti adblock scripts (that change browser behaviour) are not allowed with adsense ?

    ad rotator is allowed with adsense ?
