Ad Blocking Technology and Online Business Owner

Many browsers now use ad blocking technology to attract users. This technology prevents things like banner ads, pop-up ads, and even basic click ads from appearing in your window, allowing for ad-free browsing. Although this is useful for the user, many Internet companies feel threatened by this technology, fearing that they will no longer be able to transmit their message to the public. However, in reality, ad blocking technology can work to your advantage, if you are an expert at it. Here is how:

1. Ad blocking saves you money. The problem with the pay-per-click advertising style is that you get hit even if someone accidentally clicks on your ad and this type of accident is extremely common. Perhaps each click is only costing you a hundred or two, but it adds up quickly. With ad blocking, you no longer have to worry about accidental visits.

2. Ad blocking forces you to be more creative and therefore stand out. Banner ads, pay-per-click ads, and pop-ups are boring and easily ignored anyway. Since they no longer reach people, you need to do a little more work on your advertising and visibility efforts. Creativity means that you are more memorable, which means that you have a better chance of attracting customers.

3. No matter how prevalent ad blocking is, not everyone will use it anyway. Ad blocking sometimes costs more as part of a subscription fee, it’s part of a search engine that people don’t like, or someone may decide to disable it. Regardless of the reason, ad blocking will never cover the world, so why bother with that?

4. Random ads spread across the internet should be only a fraction of your campaign. To be truly successful, you need to have visibility across multiple lanyards online, not just one, so if you lose your banner ads, you need to have a contingency plan in place anyway so you don’t stop.

5. At least you have one less type of marketing to worry about, which means you can spend more time on other varieties that work better or on expanding your business overall. Ad blocking is nothing to fear for an organized, creative and savvy internet business owner. It is simply one more thing that you must overcome in your mission to become a successful online business owner.
