Handle Pop-Up Blockers on Chome and other Browsers with GoAdserver’s FPA Fallback

Many webmasters are hesitant to use pop ads, particularly for Chrome users, due to restrictions and potential user experience issues. GoAdserver’s block filter offers a practical alternative, enabling webmasters to deliver ads through Full-Page Adzones (FPA) when pop ads are blocked. This ensures campaigns remain effective without compromising user satisfaction or violating browser policies. Additionally, it’s important to note that Google often uses Chrome for site checks, which makes it crucial to ensure that your pop ads are properly displayed across browsers.

How It Works?

  • Enable the Block Filter: When creating a Pop Adzone in GoAdserver, you can activate the block filter to detect browsers with restrictions or ad-blocking tools.

  • Fallback to FPA: If a browser blocks the pop ad, the system automatically redirects to an alternative FPA adzone specified in your settings.

  • Dynamic Adaptation: For browsers that allow pops, the ad runs as intended. For restricted environments, the fallback ensures your message still reaches users.

Setting Up the Block Filter in GoAdserver

Configuring this feature in GoAdserver is simple and highly customizable. Here’s how you can set it up:

 

  1. Name Your Ad Zone: Provide a name for your Pop Adzone (e.g., “Website POP”).
  2. Select the Adzone Type: Choose “Pop” as the type for this adzone.
  3. Set the Refresh Rate: Determine how often the ad should refresh. For continuous display without limits, select “No capping.”
  4. Define Blocked Browsers: Specify browsers where the pop ad will be restricted (e.g., Chrome).
  5. Create a Full-Page Interstitial (FPA) Adzone: Ensure you have created an FPA adzone in advance; otherwise, it won’t be available to connect as a fallback.
  6. Enable the Fallback Option:
    • In the “Optional FullPage Interstitial as Alternative” field, select an existing Full-Page Adzone (e.g., “FPA Fallback”).
    • This fallback ensures that when a browser blocks a pop ad, the FPA will be displayed instead.
  7. Save and Test: Save the settings and verify the behavior across multiple browsers to confirm the fallback functionality works as expected.

 

By following these steps, you can adapt ad delivery seamlessly, ensuring no missed opportunities regardless of browser restrictions.

Why Choose This Feature?

  • Improved Campaign Reach: Ensures ads display across different browsers and user setups, reducing missed impressions.
  • Enhanced User Experience: FPAs provide a non-intrusive alternative that aligns with browser policies and user expectations.
  • Customizable Solutions: Webmasters have full control to define fallback options tailored to their needs.
  • Future-Proofing: Stay ahead of evolving browser restrictions with adaptable ad delivery.

Conclusion

GoAdserver’s block filter gives webmasters a reliable way to overcome browser restrictions while maintaining effective campaigns. By dynamically adapting to user environments, this feature ensures that your ads stay visible and impactful, no matter the platform. Additionally, ensuring proper ad delivery for Chrome users is key, especially as Google often uses Chrome to evaluate sites.
