How can I tell if a web client is blocking ads? *

Question

What is the best way to record statistics on how many people coming to my site have set their browser to block ads?

Answer

Since programs like AdBlock actually never request the advert, you would have to look the server logs to see if the same user accessed a webpage but didn't access an advert. This is assuming the advert is on the same server.

If your adverts are on a separate server, then I would suggest it's impossible to do so.

The best way to stop users from blocking adverts, is to have inline text adverts which are generated by the server and dished up inside your html.
