How To Display Firefox Referral Ads To Non-Firefox Users Only

About 50% of my readers are Internet Explorer users and I’ve been searching for a while for a way to promote Firefox to only to these readers using Google Adsense Firefox Referrals which pays up to $1 for each conversion for a while, so that user…

eej martin thanks for the script. But do you also have a script that includes an option to let firefox users see another ad. Because the explorer users see now 2 ads.

you can see it on www.invloed.net

I’m not forcing anyone to use Firefox. Everyone is able to view my site the way they like. I’m just reminding visitors that use the Internet Explorer that there is a better browser which they could be using instead..

I’m sorry to hear that you are deleting the bookmark, good luck anyway..

While I understand that most websites are about making money I think that there are better ways to do it. I used to enjoy reading the articles on your site but now with all of the adsense words it is difficult to scroll down the page without a lot of annoying popups. I hate sites which have an abundance of these and try not to visit them. I also do like what you are saying about forcing your users to use Firefox (which I have been using since it was Phoenix) and the google tool bar. I hate toolbars and the amount of space that they consume. This all is beginning to sound a lot like some MS drivel. Use my browser/software if you want to see the web correctly. That is why I went to Firefox and switched to Linux. And also the reason that I am looking for an alternative to Firefox. It is getting too much like MS.

I guess what I am getting at here is that because of this article I am deleting your site from my bookmarks and will not be visiting it anymore.

Instead of using fancy scripts, I have a fake alert bar at the top of my website using conditional comments for IE only. The bar is small and doesn’t have Google referral though. I think google’s image is too large and I never got any referrals. I wish Google just had a text link referral, then I’d opt in.

I think I might actually put this back on my website.. For a while, I used another script called Explorer Destroyer. It did basically the same thing, but I decided it was too annoying and agressive to users using IE and took it off completely..
