It's funny how I've gotten used to ads even if I have them displayed. I don't even look at banners or sidebars anymore.

Because good web sites don't attract you to the ads, they build their pages to attract you to the main content.

..which makes ads on such pages useless even if I have adblock disabled - which is a rarity.

very old article, but full of useful information http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/105/making-money-from-your-website-using-advertising/

Not really, because they still get money based on traffic. They get more for click through traffic, but ads on a page generate revenue without clicking. I will double check myself just to be 100% certain on this.

[quote]but ads on a page generate revenue without clicking. I will double check myself just to be 100% certain on this.[/quote] Why are you trying to prove people Ad-Block is wrong if you're not even sure they make money just for displaying them? Are you just bored?
-
Keep reading, I've provided proof that the ads don't need to be clicked on to generate revenue.

[quote]I've provided proof that the ads don't need to be clicked on to generate revenue.[/quote] I already knew that. My point was why are you defending something you're not even informed about?
-
I am informed, I was double checking because my brain doesn't have access to all of its information at once. Sorry for being a human and not perfect like you.

[quote]I am informed[/quote] Is that so? You make a thread condemning those who block ads, yet you aren't even sure if the companies make money for the ad being displayed. If you don't even know the fundamentals of what you're talking about, how am I supposed to take you seriously? [quote]Sorry for being a human and not perfect like you.[/quote] There's no need to stoop to such levels. i'm really having a hard time respecting your opinion when you don't know the basics of what you're talking about. If you have to double check something so important to your stance on the argument, then you shouldn't be making the argument in the first place.

Jesus -blam!-ing christ kid. It's obvious you have no intention of changing the way you do things on the internet, so stop responding. Is it wrong that I don't want to say something without providing evidence to back up my facts? Hell no, not enough people do it as it stands. Admitting the fact that I need to find a source is a way of saying, "I'm not trying to pull info out of my ass, here's some information to support my statement." Stooping to such levels? You're the one who has responded in such idiotic manners that requires such "stooping". The original post isn't even about HOW ads make revenue, it's about WHY blocking them prevents it, so providing evidence to back up my claims is the best way to keep the discussion both serious and relevant. It's become clear that you're just a kid who thinks he's smarter than the world. In a few years, you'll come to realize you aren't, and when that happens, please feel free to have a real discussion.

If you don't want to have one, then stop talking to me. [quote]Admitting the fact that I need to find a source is a way of saying[/quote] That you're uninformed about the basics of what you're talking about. You're talking about finding a source for something basic, so I lost respect for your opinion. [quote]Stooping to such levels? You're the one who has responded in such idiotic manners that requires such "stooping".[/quote] So just because someone does something, you'll do it to? And I didn't stoop to personal insults, you did. [quote]It's become clear that you're just a kid who thinks he's smarter than the world. In a few years, you'll come to realize you aren't, and when that happens, please feel free to have a real discussion.[/quote] I'm not a kid, and I was having a serious discussion with you. You're uniformed, ignorant and rude. Get back to me when [i]you[/i] mature because right now you're behaving very childishly.

They get a fraction of a penny for displaying an ad, and more for clicking on it. I'm not going to click on any of the ads I'm blocking, so it's not like they're losing a ton of money.
