    Great idea! Let me do some research on this one.

    I also support this request. It should be possible to ping back depending on the detection.

    Maybe it would be good to have the stats as option only in case it increases the server load too much.

    Thanks!

    Just managed to set up Piwik so that it tracks whether visitors block ads. You need to install and activate the CustomDimensions plugin, define a new dimension and then add to the js tracking code something like:

    if ( jQuery( ".footer_ad" ).height() == 0 ) {
  	_paq.push(['setCustomDimension', 1, 'blocking']);
  } else {
  	_paq.push(['setCustomDimension', 1, 'not blocking']);
  }

    That way I can watch the evolution over time, view the segmented visitors log etc.

    I assume it would also work with Google Analytics but I’m not familiar with it.
