Today I would like to announce the release of ‘Buy Sell Ads’ WordPress Plugin, a plugin to help you easily integrate your Buy Sell Ads zones and includes anti-AdBlock meaures to help prevent AdBlock (and similar software) from blocking Buy Sell Ads advertisements.You might ask “Why would I want to do that?” Here is why:
- AdBlock lowers your ad impression statistics tracked by Buy Sell Ads, which makes your advertisement spot lose value.
- Buy Sell Ads advertisers will have an extra incentive to advertise on your site because AdBlock will not be able to block their ads.
Again, feel free to use the comments section for bug reports and feature requests/suggestions.
Attention AdBlock Lovers:
Please resist the urge to flame this plugin just because you are an AdBlock lover. I did not write this plugin because I hate AdBlock, but rather because I love publishers and their quality content. I truly believe that this is a useful plugin. If you are planning on rating this plugin, please give it a fair chance by downloading it and evaluating it before you rate.
