IAB Releases Ad-Blocking Guide for Publishers

A call to action.

More consumers adopt ad-blocking software every day, leaving media outlets scrambling for a solution. The tech lab at the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has developed a guide that could possibly help.

The IAB’s DEAL plan suggests publishers do the following:

  • Detect ad-blocking in order to initiate a conversation
  • Explain the value exchange that advertising enables
  • Ask for changed behavior in order to maintain an equitable exchange
