Media advertising will remain unaffected by ad blockers, for now The best way to fight ad blockers is to diversify your advertising channels – across both search and social – and make sure you’re using all the ad targeting options available to you, to focus your spend on where it will deliver the most ROI UPDATE: Google to Offer ‘No Impression, No Charge’ on Display Network Google announced on Wednesday September 30 that it plans to introduce changes to the Display Network that will help advertisers’ budgets go further. According to an official blog post, Google will soon no longer charge display network advertisers for impressions that are not viewable to users.
If an ad isn’t seen – whether due to an ad being below the fold, in a background browser tab, or IT Numbers scrolled out of view – the advertiser won’t be charged. Although it doesn’t explicitly say so, this move seems a likely reaction to the increased concern about the adoption of ad blocking technology, though the problems outlined in the post have certainly been an issue for Display Network advertisers for some time. Edit: This post was updated on 10/6 to reflect the fact that some ad blockers can eliminate the visibility of ads on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter on desktop clients.
