Abstract
Ad-blocking is the act of the user consciously avoiding online advertising by installing a computer program that can automatically block ads. If there is no advertisement displayed on a website, there is no revenue from online advertising. In 2016, estimated global loss from the use of ad-blocking was $1.4 billion. The purpose of this research is to provide input to the advertisers about the threat of ad-blocking by using a qualitative approach with a desk review method. Several ways for advertisers, publishers, and ad networks to face ad-block is to ask website visitors to turn off ad-blocking extensions, put their websites in the white list, or disguise ad. If the online advertising world wants to succeed in fighting ad-blocking, they need to create advertisements that not disrupt users' convenience, switch to electronic word of mouth, or advertise through endorse on social media such as Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube.
