I’ve been keeping my adblocker off at thurrott.com and intend to keep doing the same. I am curious though how much it helps you guys on top of my subscription to display the ads.
<blockquote><a href="#180655"><em>In reply to wunderbar:</em></a></blockquote><p>You mean no ads are shown to Premium users after we sign-in. There is that webinar ad….</p>
<blockquote><a href="#180661"><em>In reply to Oasis:</em></a></blockquote><p>This is a tricky one because this 'ad' is something we are actually hosting.</p>
<blockquote><a href="#180800"><em>In reply to brad-sams:</em></a></blockquote><p>You know my feelings about pop up ads but l'm also receiving bloody emails about the webinar. I've had to block the site which means l no longer receive the daily email. Not good Brad!</p><p><br></p><p>Is there a way to receive the daily email only and not promotions?</p>
<blockquote><a href="#180828"><em>In reply to anchovylover:</em></a></blockquote><p>YMMV on all these things. If my job will let me take the time, I want to do the webinar. If I didn't hear about it because I wasn't receiving ads as I pay for the site, I'd be pretty mad. Inevitably, it's not possible to create a balance that has everyone perfectly happy.</p>
<blockquote><a href="#180845"><em>In reply to Polycrastinator:</em></a></blockquote><p>I kinda had the feeling that the limited ads would be things like that. Thurrott and Petri related events, et al.</p>
<blockquote><a href="#180800"><em>In reply to brad-sams:</em></a></blockquote><p>Ohhhhhh! Well, that's fair. After all, I <em>did</em> think that Premium users still would see some ads. I guess that's one of them.</p><p><br></p><p>My original post was just because it was breaking the frame in Safari.</p>
<p>Do ads have to be actually clicked on for sites to make money? I don't think I've every clicked on an ad anywhere (at least not intentionally). </p>
