Both the script and the Primer have been conceived and released by the IAB Tech Lab Ad Blocking Working Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe release of this primer in conjunction with the open-source ad blocking detection script will open the door for transparency and meaningful dialogue with visitors using ad blockers,\u201d said Scott Cunningham, General Manager, IAB Tech Lab, and Senior Vice President, Technology and Ad Operations, IAB. \u201cWe believe that a combination of tools and the DEAL approach to communication with consumers will allow publishers big and small the chance to cut through the blockade, ensuring the strength of the open, ad-supported Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n
How the script works<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When the script detects that the website user has an adblocker turned on, initiates a conversation explaining the consumer the value exchange that advertising enables. Then the script ask the consumer to change his\/her behavior in order to maintain an equitable exchange. If the user switches off the adblocker the script lifts restrictions. In case the consumer does not switch off the adblocker the script limits the access to the website.<\/p>\n Seven ways to deal with adblockers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n IAB Working Group on Adblocking identifies and explains 7 strategies that publishers can use to deal with th adblocking problem: notice; acces denial; tired experience; payments from visitors; ad reinsertion -bypassing adblockers-; payment to adblocker companies; and Payments to visitors.
