I don't know... using a heavily obfuscated script off of some random website doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do. What does the script do more than your pop-up?

I didn't tested the script (yet) but it should block adblockers. I found a website with a useful script but I've wrote it down at my work so I'll share it here. It was kinda funny with an image of someone robbing the webmaster and asking to stop that behaviour.

Visitors are increasingly using ad blockers for several logical interlocking reasons. It is far more sensible to address those issues than to be viewed as escalating the reasons they use them in the first place.

The Web ad business is in the midst of rather significant flux beginning late 2014 when Kraft went public having cottoned on to the 'impressions' scam.

Add in bloated bandwidth and privacy/tracking user concerns and it ain't what it was and won't be again.

Publishers need to adapt and be proactive. Those that can't or won't will cease being profitable. Straight Google for traffic and revenue is no longer the easy simple road to riches.

Look at this example: [disableadblock.com...]

The site you linked to lies..they say that they use cookies, to be precise they use Google analytics, butgoogle analytics does not detect anonymous data as they claim..it collects IP addresses of each individual visitor, in order to track those visitors individually all over the web and serve personalised ads to each of them ..if they use any other google product ( android or gmail etc ) then it knows exactly who they are, and what the look at , all over the internet.

There have already been threads here about adblockers..use search to find them, there have already been adblock detector scripts posted, ( very simple jscript ) that do not need Google analytics to work, they also did not come with ( highly derivative of "the oatmeal" ) comic graphics, be original, be creative ( supposedly that is what website owners do ) make your own messages, make your own graphics..<= Idea given freely..

This is one of the times when you can change horses in mid-stream--and should!

The ads biz tanked itself early on and those with nefarious morals made it worse. Users revolted ... and some advertisers, too! ... and we are midstream between what publishers want and what users want. Ad blockers are not going away. When major browsers are including ad blockers in their builds you know just how serious the issue has become.

Reevaluate how you do business, reevaluate your coding (some users surf with js blocked, for example) and go from there.

What is becoming more obvious is that blocking the ad blocker is kind of pointless as the web is such a large and messy place that the user won't bat an eye, but they will click BACK and go somewhere else.

The site linked in the original post is actually showing an old script generated from [blockadblock.com...] - if you want to use anything like that better go to the source and get an updated script as it changes frequently based on new options and features.

@Tangor, most of my visitors won't ga away because they can't find the information elsewhere.

Imagine that when 20% of your visitors use an adblocker your earnings could be 25% more if they wouldn't.

If one's site is that unique then advertisers will seek YOU out, not the other way around---and this question would be moot. :)

Second fallacy in argument is that those with ad blockers will ever click an ad. They are already predisposed to either ignore (block) or ignore even if visible.

Most revenue is by affiliates than CPM and far behind that CPC. So only showing ads earns me a lot each month.

Best bet is to focus on what does work and not develop ulcers over what you can't change. Work that 75% of the pie to 100% conversion of the 75% and be in a better place than 100% traffic converting at only 25% (fairly average).

There never has been any guarantees. You have no contract (or subscription) with users or advertisers. The best you have is a bit of billboard space randomly filled in by a third party who does not have your best interests at heart. BTW, that mans no "theft" has occurred... a freely offered product priced for "free" has no "value" as regards "theft". Hard to have cake and eat it, too.

Most who genuinely face these realities have learned to put the best parts of their sites behind a paywall by taking money and promising no advertising. Usually pays MUCH better than the third party adverts. Does require having compelling content. Those who have make money. :)

So no one knows a decent solution to detect users with adblockers and show them a message to ask turning off the adblocker?

I've tried [detectadblock.com...] but it showed not only the message but also showed a popup asking if ads are blocked. Only a message is enough for me not also a popup.

Some people know plenty of solutions ..beginning with, if you can't code ..hire a coder to make what you want..

Coding what you want is simple.. a webmaster should know how to code simple stuff..once upon a time webmaster was a craft, sites and their scripts etc had to be coded, by hand, that is what being a webmaster means..

Otherwise one is merely a site owner..and one has to pay ( just like for a domain name ) for code that "does things"..

You can find a coder by scrolling down this page to "hire a programmer".. :)

I saw something offered by Cloudflare in the apps section their website, but I haven't tried and can't recommended. But I saw it there you can check it out.

There have been a few previous discussions regarding blocking or giving a popup message to visitors using adblockers.

There have also been discussions about filling empty adunits with alternate income generating content for those adblocker visitors.

There have been several scripts posted. I posted one myself.

I'm wondering if you guys are familiar with blocking Adblockers because it's taking a lot of the profits

People will simply go elsewhere, if they close their tab / browser, fine, if they click the back button, this will increase your bounce rate, and search engines will downgrade your ranking.

Also, in a near future, you'll end blocking all Firefox's users, and in a few years most of EU visitors. I am talking about the upcoming e-privacy regulation, which will make all browsers to offer the choice to users to block or not trackers, like what Firefox will do with the next version. Trackers are not only cookies, Firefox for example, considers most of third part javascripts as trackers (it blocks "adsbygoogle.js" and others).
