element hiding + exceptions ?

Hi.

I want to block the outward ads on www.projektmagazin.de

The site uses links like
/ad/?...href=www.somesite.de
to link out to ads. I have blocked these using element hiding:

Code: Select all

projektmagazin.de#*(href*=/ad/)
Unfortunately, the site uses the same system for internal links. In this case it they look something like:
Is there a possibility to ad exceptions to element hiding rules?

Thanks a lot,
Phillip

That's not possible, sorry.

Can you give me an example site for such an internal link or do you have to be a subscriber?

Does it work if you just block the ads with

Code: Select all

.projektmagazin.de/pmas/files/1
?

Additionally, you can also block the viewcounter for the ads

Code: Select all

.projektmagazin.de/ad/view/view-1
and hide the leftover text

Code: Select all

projektmagazin.de#*(class^=anzeige)

Replacement for "Check Banner Links"

Dear Ares 2,

thanks a lot for your reply.

A typical example for an internal link can be found of the left part of the page:
It looks just like any contained ad link, alas its linking inward...

Since "check banner links" are no longer supported, I see no way of blocking the ads...

Thanks for your help,
Phillip

You mean the spotlight banner? That's an ad for me (even though it's first party). :) You can also reach this section via the main navigation. It's classified as an ad by the site itself (placed under 'Anzeigen'): http://www.projektmagazin.de/news/index.html

So blocking all the adimages including some first party ones with

Code: Select all

.projektmagazin.de/pmas/files/
seems to be reasonable for me. (Textlinks with href*="/ad/" like the newsletter link in the left column are not affected by this rule of course.)
