A lot of people use ad block now days so to compensate, I've created some ads that get displayed to ad blockers. Basically these are just Vizzed ads but they encourage the user to remove their ad block for Vizzed, encourage them to donate and also tells them the benefits of pledging on my Patreon page.

So what I've done is I've added an ad image to the background of the boxes that the ads appear in and made it clickable. Once the ad network ads appear, they just appear over it but if they fail to appear for whatever reason (usually due to ad blocker but sometimes they do fail for other reasons), then the Vizzed ad displays.

This shouldn't negatively affect the ad revenue of the ad network ads but if it does, I'll undo all of this. I should also point out that these wont appear for those who have earned the removal of ads.

Erm, If i may have a suggestion I'd entirely turn off the mention of PSX being playable once you donate to patreon.



It's not a bad idea, but  I'd remove it from being shown due to possible copyright.

After all, vizzed already lost a lot of RGR games thanks to Nintendo.  I don't want to imagine sony doing the same thing if they see that ad.

SuperCrash64 : That's a good point. I might modify the ad then eventually.

Mentioning PlayStation emulation in the ad is a good idea because there are a lot of people who are here exclusively for PSX, but as SuperCrash said, the risk may not outweigh the reward.

There's been at least one instance of the Patreon picture overlapping the network ad, so you might want to tweak it a little.

I've seen the Patreon ad display briefly before the regular ads loaded. I like how it simply seems like part of the website, and for a newcomer with adblock the site will look a lot nicer than having the black boxes of the blocked ads.

The Playstation issue is kind of a 50/50. It's one of the most played systems, if not the most, so it's a big feature to promote. However, after the Nintendo incident, we could use a bit more discretion.

m0ssb3rg935 :
EX Palen :

What I could do is just make that ad display for users. I think someone from PlayStation would be less likely to have an account.

Now that I think more on it, it's probably not likely that Sony will see anything. It's not like they're actively seeking this sort of thing out like Nintendo is and the only way I see it drawing any undesirable attention is if there are multiple people blowing whistles. While they have been "on the war path", as I've heard it said, for a while now, I get the feeling that they didn't find you by chance.

I wouldn't be worried about the static banner ad that says "Playstation". I'd be worried about the thousands of indexed pages in the RGR that say "Play Playstation Online".

I have not come across any problems with Sony in terms of ISOs, only Capcom who can be just as aggressive with their Resident Evil franchise as Nintendo is with Pokemon.

I think that people may be overly paranoid on this issue. Many of the people who donate do it cause they discover they can play Playstation games by doing so. I guess you could remove the brand off the ad but it's not going to make any difference either way.

Sony is a billion times more likely to find you through organic search results instead of a banner ad that only shows to ad block users.

I think this works out fairly well. I'm not sure how many people will choose to donate over being shown the option to do so, but it's probably a better alternative to attempting to block adblock users from using the site.

Also, this might be a slightly unpopular thing to say, but some of the ads might be contributing to the usage of ad blockers. Ads that autoplay video, ads that start playing very loud audio while expanding and autoplaying video if you mouse over them, ads that redirect you to websites that are probably scams...Those are the kinds of things that make people turn on their blockers.

Also, I kinda have to agree that the Playstation-related stuff doesn't seem to be a terrible concern at the moment. I'd think that if they were going to go after a site like this, they would've found it by now, and they aren't quite as protective of their stuff as Nintendo is. Still, it's something to think about.

So Ads have never really worked for me... ^^; But I do get these banners that you mentioned adding. I disabled Vizzed on my Adblock though, so I don't know what the heck has been going on. But this is a great idea, man. I love it!

I think you might look into this, because I've had Adblock disabled since the beginning but just recently (at most 24 hours before this post) ads have stopped showing for me and I get instead those banners in probably more than 50% of the cases.

It happens in every place I've visited: board index, RGR, VGR, even inside threads. It's not a problem for me, but it's something that shouldn't be displaying and thus needs to be looked at.

Since most web pages have been updated to the new vizzed code this should make the adblock item much more popular than actual adblockers

I do use something that blocks ads but it also blocks other webpage elements if I want it to. If I want to block someone's profile picture, I can do that easily. I did that with a few already just because I don't like looking at them

I'll go ahead and get the adblock item so I don't rob anything from you

I'm talking for a desktop. Sorry I didn't mention it, I spend just too much time on it that I forget about other systems.

While now ads seem to load better, some still fail to load. Now I don't get the banners, but the ads simply don't load. This leaves some spaces black or simply without any content.

I've been seeing the message that's supposed to be undernieth the ad bleed through a lot recently. I'll try to take some shots the next time it happens, but I thought you'd like to know.

Davideo7 : Seems like a good idea but I've got another idea that may help, a vizzed membership. Basically, you'd just pay a monthly or yearly fee (Depending on the renewal you chose when signing up) and get benefits not available to normal users which include the following;

Your username is displayed in bold and changed to any color you want it to be (You can only do this once so pick wisely)

You get access to a special forum.

You get an automatic vizzed elite position.

Plus some other features only available to donators.


Let me know if this is a good idea or not.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
