    I came across this site not that long ago and was wondering that your thoughts are about this. Would this be considered black hat?

    Brian, how do you determine what ads/sites to block? What software are you running to help you determine that?

    I've been having a really hard time blocking a couple ads. A week later they are still running.

    Brian, can I ask - when you block an ad you think is junk, do you notice a drop in your revenue when they are off your site, or an increase? There were a few I blocked, and I noticed a dip from the daily average we have. Thoughts? Thanks!
