Ad Blocking and how to solve this problem

Ad Blocking, or as we know it, is software on a computer or phone that is used to block ads that appear when a user is entering a website or application. If the ad is not displayed, the publishers cannot bring in revenue. According to a survey from iab.com, ⅔ of people who are using ad-blocking software is willing to stop using them if the ads are displayed: no autoplay, no button to turn off ads, block content, contains malware and slows down the page load.

However, between different devices, the adblocking rate also varies. A study by statcounter.com in August 2021 indicates that 56.8% of global traffic comes from mobile devices. Meanwhile, this figure is only 40.3% for desktops. Imagine more than half of all desktop and mobile users

• To be able to solve this problem, publishers can experiment with many different forms depending on the status of the website or application you have.

• Advertising standards: LEAN

L - Light: Minimize ad size to limit ad load time.

E - Encrypted: Ensure security standards to prevent exposure to malware and harmful viruses.

A - Ad Choice Supported: Allows users to opt-out of certain data collection services used to create targeted advertising.

N - Non-invasive ads: Remove ads with annoying elements such as vibrations, flashing, or auto-playing sounds.

When users feel that you respect their privacy and decisions, they will certainly not hesitate to stop using adblocking software. With this form, the effect is a win-win for both parties.
