Andrew, any insight into the prevalence of AdBlockers among your tech savvy audience? Do you feel that was a factor?

Very hard to say. I tend to doubt it. Even before ad blockers became popular, the number of click throughs was very, very low.

What was different then was that vendors viewed Web ads as an expensive form of advertising, but one which they had to do.
