This blocklist is based on surveys of most used advertising and tracking technology (e.g. surveys of W3C, W3Tech and the
|

|
|
|
on-line marketing community itself). The online advertising industry likes to keep lists of top performing companies in
|
|
|
|
|
the ad supply chain (including advertising excanhe platforms). The list and surveys monitored are oriented on Europe and
|
|
|
|
|
North America, this is the reason this blocklist contains mostly EU and US based advertising and tracking networks.

WHY USE A SMALL ADVERTISING AND TRACKING NETWORKS BLOCK LIST?
|
2020-08-25 15:25:35 +02:00
|
|
|
In advertising the number one (Google) has a marketshare of around 40 percent, Facebook the number two hits the 20 percent mark
|
|
|
|
|
while the number three Comscore just has a little over 2.5% marketshare. For comparison Amazon with its huge webstore generates
|
|
|
|
|
about the same advertising traffic on its own website. Number 100 on this list is probably used at 5000 websites of the Alexa
|
|
|
|
|
Top 300.000 websites, while number 250 may only track you on 500 websites of the Alexa Top 300.000.

LOW UPDATE FREQUENCY
|
2021-09-25 08:06:20 +02:00
|
|
|
Because this list focusses on the advertising and tracking networks which place the adds on the websites you visit, this list
|
2021-11-04 16:24:07 +01:00
|
|
|
is not subjective to a lot of changes. Simply because it takes a lot of time and money to build such a backbone (ad serving)
|
2021-09-25 08:06:20 +02:00
|
|
|
network. Also the digital marketeers using these networks are a constraining factor, because most don't like to learn how to
|
|
|
|
|
use the software (used for advertisement placement and visitor tracking).
