How To Hide Pop-up Ads From Search Engine Bots?

[helpbloggerVerified member]

Hi everyone!

I noticed many bloggers struggling with pop-up ads affecting their Core Web Vitals and SEO performance. Search engine bots often get slowed down by ad scripts, which can impact your site's crawling and indexing.

The Problem:
- Pop-up ad scripts load for both users AND bots
- This slows down page load time for crawlers
- Negatively impacts Core Web Vitals
- Can affect your SEO performance

Looking for a solution? In this thread, I'll share how to selectively load pop-up ads ONLY for real users while hiding them from search engine bots.

Follow along to implement this fix on your blog!

This is exactly what I've been looking for! My site's performance has been suffering lately, and I noticed the pop-up ads were causing issues with mobile page speed insights.

Quick question though - will this affect my ad revenue? Since we're blocking the script from bots, I want to make sure it won't cause any problems with the ad network's verification.

No, this won't affect your ad revenue at all. Here's why:
1. Bots don't click on ads anyway
2. Ad networks expect and prefer that you don't serve ads to bots
3. This actually helps prevent invalid traffic warnings

I've created a simple JavaScript solution that automatically detects bots and prevents ad loading. It supports all major search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, and more.

Here's the script that will solve this issue

Installation is super simple:
1. Download and unzip the file
2. Upload the script to your site
3. Add it before your ad code
4. That's it!

Full documentation is included in the README file. If anyone needs help implementing this, feel free to ask!
