Part Time Webmaster Blog

Today, I was notified that I had some malware. Not too excited about that. As it turns out, the easy way to block this in the Firefox browser was to add an Ad Blocker plugin to my browser. Sounds cool right. Well, just out of curiosity, I looked at my website and found out that all of my ads were blocked! Makes sense right.

Well, there’s one drawback. If I’m only using ads to make revenue from my site, I’m out of luck. So, what to do? Well, I’ve come to the conclusion that I should mix my ads with some links to affiliate programs. I know, this may seem obvious to some, but it wasn’t to me.

So, now, my next task is to add to my general template links to some affiliate sites. Otherwise, if all of the ads are blocked, I’m out of luck.

There are a lot of websites with links that open up new windows. Because of all the spamming and ads that are popups, they created the popup blocker. But, what do you do if you really want to see the pop up window?

Well, you can disable the popup blocker for that site. Another quick solution is to hold down the CTRL key then click on the link. This is a way to override the popup blocker.
