Choker's system couldn't tell when an ad was blocked and he bills for those clicks. he had a good reason of course - you can't track if a browser is blocking an ad.

if that is the case with gfy ads, wouldn't your impressions count be inflated?

mainly i am just curious how many visitors are blocking ads. my target audience is nubes, so it doesn't matter much to me. maybe u can run a poll? lol
I'll have to ask that since I don't know too many details on how the system works.

Are there people with blocked ads? I'm sure there are some, a small minority that has its own issues. Someone that willingly accepts and tolerates GFY as a whole and has an issue with a sponsored banner has more serious problems.

First couple months you start advertising on GFY you raise awareness on your product and service. Over time it helps you establish it as a brand. Maintaining presence is important especially these days where too many aff.programs die and services go bad. If you go and track the value generated just from direct click you have only captured a 5-10% of the real one. The banner clicks capture the response of the moment. What really an advertiser is looking for is the 24/7 established memory and the feeling we are around, we are updating our sites, we are providing the support etc
