Oh my! Nobody ever simplified the visual ad process quite like you have. Just to be clear though. If people use Ad Blockers, these A to Z tips may sort of become null. Yes? If so, then ... please correct me if I'm wrong ... it is important to give your image an "alt title" and should you not also, place a text link under your visual ad, so that if the ad blocker prevents the image from displaying, then perhaps the text link ad will still appear. Is my understanding correct?
