Making money through ads and blocking ads

There are people who want to make money through online ads. Advertisers put ads on a website and pay money to the website for hosting ads. If the ad is clicked, then advertisers pay the webmaster money. Then, there are people who block ads. If the website needs to make money from the ads, and many visitors block the ads, then how can the website make any money? Will the website be forced to go out of business or try to look for something to sell? 50.4.236.254 (talk) 23:46, 21 May 2017 (UTC) and also we earn money by <ref><google adsense and through Digital Marketing.[reply]

1) They are always finding ways to get around ad blockers.

2) They can simply make it mandatory to view the ad. If it's blocked, they don't display the content you are after. Of course, there may also be software developed to fool them into thinking you viewed their ad, when you did not.

3) There are other revenue models, such as a subscriptions or freemium pricing. StuRat (talk) 00:29, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
