Get paid when visitors use AdBlock or Brave.
On standard file hosts, 30% to 40% of visitors run ad blockers or Brave Shields and generate $0.00.
CloudFam gives you two ways to recover that traffic: enable the AdBlock whitelist prompt in /user/earning_booster, or convert ad-blocked visitors with 24-hour and 30-day access passes.
| Traffic Scenario | Typical File Host | CloudFam |
|---|---|---|
| AdBlock Extension Active | $0.00 (Unpaid download) | Whitelist prompt or pass upsell |
| Brave Browser Shields | Ad scripts dropped | Server-side gate & AdFlow tracking |
| Repeat Same-IP Downloads | Ignored after 1st file | Paid via Multiple Downloads Booster |
| Visitor Refuses Ads | Visitor leaves page | 60% commission on 30-day pass |
