Now that you've been introduced to these ad blocking extensions you're probably wondering how they may be affecting your website when a visitor is viewing it.

Let's have a look! I will admit that I use Google Chrome and am a loyal user of AdBlock...so if I visit your site I might not be seeing what you think I should be.

For each of these examples the left side of the image is what I see in my regular browser with AdBlock running. The right side is in "Incognito mode" and AdBlock is not running.

Example 1: Paid Advertising

This website has Google AdSense code in the sidebar widget and Chitika ads displaying after each post.

As you can see neither the Chitika nor AdSense ads show up at all when AdBlock is running!

Example 2: Affiliate Banner Links

Now let's look at a couple of instances of affiliate banners being blocked. For the first instance let's look at the website we are all so familiar with (if you went through the Affiliate Bootcamp anyways): waystoavoidscamsonline.com.

The affiliate banner, even from good old WA, is being blocked by the AdBlock extension!

Let's look at one more example. This is the exact code (with affiliate ID blurred out) I will copy from Wealthy Affiliate into a text widget on my test site:

And here is what happens:

Again, you can see how the banner is completely gone. It's as if it didn't even exist and anyone who is running an ad blocking extension would be none the wiser that it even existed!

In addition to this if you have pop-ups on your website or Amazon Widgets in your side bar those are likely to be blocked as well.

So...what can you do about this?
