There is not a good way to do this. Javascript is just so easily blocked, meta redirects inside elements are useless (noscript plugin includes the meta redirect block inside those). Even that CPALead POS is bypassable. You can’t stop me!

Sumeet ur a genious!
but unfortunate to say, when I use it, its driving everyone to the warning page for some reason. Im using it for cpalead.com though.

Can you please tell me, if im doing anything wrong? You probably already helped enough with this amazing piece of code, but its no use to me if it drives all the traffic to the warning page lol

Regards

I see there are a lot of comments from people who say using a script like this will make traffic drop off. Which is exactly what many of us want if it is traffic which doesn’t view advertisements.

If you don’t want to view ads, then don’t visit web sites that have ads. My bet is you won’t have many sites on the internet to go to at all.

If you’re not willing to support sites you like by viewing ads, why do you visit the sites? No one is *demanding* that you visit their site. If a majority of people started using noscript and adblockers web sites would drop like flies and your internet searches would come up much emptier if not empty. My bet is even iamsumeet.com will go offline if advertising revenue dries up.

Doesn’t work if the end-user also uses No-Script.

Though this script is good, but it is not good idea to redirect your visitors, Even i am also using adblocker plus

All seems a bit pointless to me. For a start visitors using an adblocker are never going to click on your ads anyway. The redirect and warning page will be a huge “turn-off” for many visitors like me (same as pop-ups, if a site uses them I immediately abandon it whether it is relevant to my search or not; I HATE them!)And, isn’t the redirect (and possible return!) going to use up even more bandwidth unless it is to a completely separate site?

It will certainly affect your readership.

Heheh, actually it IS true

But regardless, the point I wanted to mention is that, there will be a drop in traffic, whats worse is that some of your loyal readers would start boycotting the site, something which isn’t too pleasing, is it!

What I meant to say was “visitors using adblockers use up the website’s resources and in return the webmaster doesn’t get anything”

I know it sounds very mean and selfish but its the truth .

..I think I should remove that line..Everyone is bashing me for writing that line
