Without confronting the massively pro-adblock crowd here head on, I just want to ask what the statistics are for Adblock use Internet-wide. Is it 10% of users or a much smaller figure?

I manage a consumer website with 4-5 million unique visitors a month, monetized solely via ads. About 25% of our desktop users use an ad blocker. The site's desktop audience is 56% U.S., 8% India, 7% UK, 5% Canada.

When we detect the use of an ad blocker, we show a small appeal at the bottom to either whitelist the site or make a donation. Total donations received in the last 1 year: $0.

Can you estimate how many visitors have opted to whitelist?

How do you measure ad block usage rates?
