How to get valuable virtual tour stats from Adblock users - GoThru

The next most important thing after creating and publishing your virtual tour is to integrate a system that could provide you with valuable traffic data. Because there is no use releasing a virtual tour without being able to measure its effectiveness. For this reason, Google Analytics has been widely used to measure traffic data.

But what happens with the increased number of users installing adblocking devices?

Google Analytics gets blocked

Adblocking technology is being used extensively from users aged 18 to 29 years old mainly due to the lack of smart advertising. In the present day, the average person will get exposed to more than 5,000 ads per day. And the majority of those ads will be highly intrusive and worsen the user experience.

In addition, there is an increased awareness around privacy concerns and people are getting more reluctant to allow big corporates to gather their personal data. For this reason, the number of people using adblockers is continuously growing and expanding in every generation, making it difficult for your virtual tour to measure accurate data.

Every adblocking device blocks Google Analytics leaving you with skewed data. So even if you have created a unique virtual experience for your audience, you might never get insights on the proportion of your target audience that uses adblockers. So how can you gain valuable traffic data even from your Adblock users?
