| 1215572 | 2011-07-08 07:38:00 | One of my web sites has a search engine which is free, but displays two small adverts in lieu. For US$345.00 per annum they will remove the adverts. Thing is, 'Add Block' in Firefox, IE9 and Chrome block the adverts. Question is, what % of browsers have Add Bock etc installed? |

| 1215574 | 2011-07-08 08:32:00 | None of them do, unless you install a program / addon. Or use something like track protection in IE9. Which may or may not work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1215575 | 2011-07-08 09:29:00 | I should have asked what % of viewers install an Ad Block? | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1215577 | 2011-07-08 09:46:00 | most browser have the ability to block ads/sites. security and spyware progs use that to block sites, which coincidently also covers most external ad companies. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 1215578 | 2011-07-08 22:22:00 | Or maybe use another search engine for your site. Google's custom search (www.google.com hg&service=cprose&hl=en&gl=us&passive=true) might be a good choice. Can refine and brand it, and even make money if you want. Their CSE blog here (http://googlecustomsearch.blogspot.com/). | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1215579 | 2011-07-11 00:10:00 | I should have asked what % of viewers install an Ad Block? Depends on your audience. If it's technical/IT people, then quite a big percentage will have an ad blocker. If it's regular Joe Public, not many will block the ads. |
