Adblock

[GrandOldTeam]

Folks,

We've recently improved our statistic monitoring and have become aware that nearly 27% of last months traffic had a version of 'adblock' installed. In Layman's terms, nearly 30% of you exclude any of our adverts.

Now, our sponsors have trackers on their adverts to see how many times their adverts are being loaded, which they evaluate careful prior considering any sponsorship renewal - so you can see the problem we have.

Our adverts are not intrusive, and clearly, we rely on them to help keep this place maintainable. GOT is by some margin my biggest expense and the long and short of it is, if our sponsors dont renew and I can't secure an alternative - GrandOldTeam dies.

Play the game - if you have adblock, make the two clicks required to add us to your safe/whitelist.

Instructions
(Instructions may vary depending on the adblock software and version you run, please reply if you're unsure)

1. Click on the Adblock Icon (Usually top right of your browser)

2. Click 'Don't run on pages on this domain' (Or, 'Add to Whitelist' or 'Exclude Adblock on this domain)

3. Finally, confirm your option

I have adblocker, I've added GOT to the exceptions list.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

This is killing us.

Please add to exception list.

Oh FFS.

Mine keeps randomally switching itself on.

Can you tell me the url to enter to the exception?

Everything I try wont work.

I turn it off when I notice, but I would prefer to just keep it on and add this site, but every combo I try doesnt seem to work.

I don't really understand this either but I can see the adverts so I'm guessing I don't have adblock?

I use GOT a lot in uni at the moment mate. I can see some adverts but I don't know if they've got anything else set up? I've got this on the exceptions list at home though.

 

[Goat]

That doesnt work.

As I say, I normally keep it off, but for some reason it keeps switching itself on.

Every other Url I enter doesnt work.

HALP

Just use Chrome, it gives you the option to disable each site in the address bar. It's also a better browser.

Something like this;

If a person loads GOT 100x per day, that's 100 page impressions we need to host/pay for. That's 100 page impressions I need Paddy Power and Google to see.

This. It's dead easy and it's much faster than Firefox.

Please add to exception list.

Do I get a free upgrade for clicking on about 800 adverts today?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Just disabled it and clicked a dozen times.

 

[Goat]

Fuming here.

Sigh, guess I will try Chrome, maybe it will work better.

It better not be hard.

Wish me luck.

May have to resort to displaying a picture of Suarez' grid in place of the advert to those who have adblock enabled.

Couldn't you just block people viewing it until they disable adblock ?

Although i suppose the argument is you'd lose a lot of people that way.

You're even debating your own argument here, you've sunk to a new low.
