I guess I wasn't the only one who did not understand how important it was to turn off the ad blocker off.  :)

UPDATE: Either we're having a freak month, or this recent approach to ad blocking has impacted ad revenue positively. Will see what the next few months report as. But so far, so good. This has allowed me to take more days off work each week, and use that time to work on the project. Instant, positive impact.

Interesting article on German courts ruling on ADBlock.  http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/12/german-judges-explain-why-adblock-plus-is-legal/

Now if only the Supreme Court over here could do the same.

Jerry, does the site receive revenue just for showing the ads, or do they have to be clicked to generate income.

I can click on loads if it's beneficial  ;)

Both visits and clicks. I appreciate the offer to click but it's against Googles T&C and their A.I. is very good at catching people out, which could cost me my account.

Another who didn't realise that you had ads, I've always had the adblocker on.
Anyway off now :)

Try using http://adrecover.com/. It will bypass the ad blocker so you will not need the ad block detector.

Thanks, I'm researching this. Adblock already looking to circumvent it - https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=47740

... Imagine if somebody came along and took half of your wages, not very nice.

Wow!  :o I had no idea it was that important.
