99 TO GO
Kim at Relaxed Homeschooling waxes politic this morning. It’s pretty funny. Oh, she harbors a not-so-secret fantasy of recording 100 hits in a day. Help her out, ok?

Blogads reports serving up the ad above 2925 times in the last seven days. |

And when I’m on the PC, I use Firefox with AdBlocker, so it doesn’t even get served up — and if you’re undercounting me, you’re missing a lot! (You do get me when I’m on the Mac, though, as at this moment.) |

I don’t know. I guess it would depend how Mozilla works. Does the blocking occur as the data are received at your end or is the html request itself blocked? Where’s a geek when you need one? |

There are two options, “hide” and “remove”. Hide allows the ad content to be downloaded but simply displays white space where the ad should be. Remove, which is what I have it set for, keeps the content from downloading and renders the page without spaces. As far as I can tell, this should mean no hit on the BlogAds server. Chris? |

I keep almost everything blocked under Internet for security. I added your site to Trusted Sites yesterday, and noticed that I now get the Blogads. I don’t know if I was undercounted or not. If so, like Tim said, you missed a lot. 😉 |

Ad blockers usually work by keeping a list of known ad servers and telling the browser the the IP address for those servers is 127.0.0.1 – which is always your local machine. Firefox will look for the ad locally – and obviously not find it. The ad is never requested from the real server.That sounds like remove. Since hide is rendering white space, I think it must be fetching the ad in order to know what size it is to render the page properly. |
