As someone who regularly blocks ads, I was initially somewhat surprised to see an ad at all when I was checking some prices on staticice.
On closer inspection I noticed that the ad was locally hosted:
http://staticice.com.au/images/DJs_MSS_2016_160600.GIF
Please would more sites follow this example (ozbargain?).
Keep the "normal" ads too if needs be.
I will gladly permit my adblocker to allow locally hosted ads (until such time that locally hosted ads become the malware infested cess pits that the current internet ad peddlers 'maintain').
Big thumbs up to staticice from me.
I did just notice that clicking on the aforementioned ad on staticice didn't actually take me to DJ's, probably due to the link routing through prf.hn (blocked by me, presumably) - better luck next time ad agency people, try linking to the destination rather than this.
How else can the media agency track the performance of their ads? Moreover Performance Horizon (prf.hn) might be used to track CPA/CPC ads. Blocked means StaticICE doesn't get paid at all. Might as well block the images as well.
