It seems like each and every day a new online marketing technique is created, taking the place of one that has fallen from grace. Too many publishers and marketers react to the online buzz instead of responding to the real world situation. If you learn nothing else here, learn to respond and at least give yourself of fighting chance. http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/BlogId/2/Default.aspx en-US Admin@BlockFirefox.com kfd@st8.com Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:02:38 GMT Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:02:38 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 3.3.0.16726 One of the more interesting analyses of the Adblock Plus/ Firefox blocking controversy is that it is, in itself, simply a method of generating links and traffic. http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/19/Default.aspx Admin@BlockFirefox.com http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/19/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.blockfirefox.com/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=19 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:08:40 GMT 1 http://www.blockfirefox.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=19 One of the reasons the Adblock Plus plugin has been so popular among Firefox users – to the extent of being actively promoted by the Mozilla Foundation, the organisation behind the browser – is that as a group they tend to have a particularly strong dislike of ads. http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/6/Default.aspx Admin@BlockFirefox.com http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/6/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.blockfirefox.com/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=6 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 21:26:54 GMT 1 http://www.blockfirefox.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=6 The actions of some site owners in blocking all users of Firefox simply because there is a chance that they may be using an ad blocking plugin such as Adblock Plus has certainly aroused a good deal of controversy, particularly among the blogging community. http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/4/Default.aspx Admin@BlockFirefox.com http://www.blockfirefox.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/4/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.blockfirefox.com/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=4 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:41:53 GMT 1 http://www.blockfirefox.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=4 From the point of view of site owners, blocking Firefox is a quick and simple way of ensuring that nobody is viewing their sites with an ad blocking plugin such as Adblock Plus installed on their browser.
