How can i make people turn off ad blocker on my shortened URLs ?

I am a link Publisher ... i am make  YouTube  videos and Publish my links under the videos ... but i face a problem making money out of this because the most of the visitors have ad block enabled .. then i saw this  website    that advice users to install an ad blocker if it's not detected by this site than it transfers you to the purposed site after you do so ...... .i want a way to do the same but in inverse ... like asking them to turn off/pause the ad blocker then when they do so they redirects to my link ..... note i use Gets URL to shorten my URLs second i don't have any website or any host

You have a new problem on the horizon also. Likely Chrome + Firefox will embed a default Ad Blocker at some point. Dev discussions show a trend toward this approach, so at some point 100% of main browsers will likely do this + others will follow.

You can sometimes get around this by embedding your link target on your site in various ways.

How you actually do this depends on your exact site HTML. I've never tried this linking out from YouTube.

I do notice on my YouTube video links, clicks never get caught by Ad Blockers.

Likely your best bet is to hire someone to help you with this. I'd look at your entire redirect chain + URL shortener you're using.

1) Don't ever use a URL shortener, unless you own the property yourself. Even then, you may be blocked.

2) Ensure the target of your link has no Ads running on the page. I suspect (haven't tested this) if you have Ad Networks running on the page, then you'll get caught by an Ad Blocker.

Start by doing #1 + #2, then experiment with your content on #2 (landing page) + figure out what Ad Blockers catch + allow.

You can always get around Ad Blockers, at least I have for my clients so far, so you just have to experiment + see where you're getting caught + avoid whatever HTML coding approach you're taking which is getting you caught.

You'll have to review your HTML + experiment with workarounds, till you determine a working fix.

It can be done, but I suspect that many experts will be less than enthusiastic about helping to do this.  Most of us rely on ad and unwanted content blockers, so helping to defeat them -- imo -- is probably not in the cards.

At any rate, if your content is being published on youtube, you do not have enough control over the site to do ad blocker denial.  It requires embedding several scripts, cross-site scripting to sites not approved by youtube, and that is something you cannot do.

@David Johnson
first thank you
but  
i use Gets URL to shorten my URLs second i don't have any website or any host

and even if i got some free Blogger.... i am don't have enough knowledge to control it ........
and i want the  link clicker go fast to his Destination ... not to go to a site then to click on the link .... and the most thing they will do is to pause adblock  on that site then it will be enabled after click on my link from my site ... and that's contrary  from what i intend  to as the ads will be on my shortened link ..... and another thing that they will do is block that element that's Prevents them from accessing the link !!! and this will waste all the Effort .... and placing ads on that Blogger will be much work for me ..  & it's contrary to my inclination... as i prefer direct things and working from youtube and facebook is the point .....
i more likely search for a similar website  that i mentioned  the link
or any way to do the same !!!!!
Try placing your 2x offsite objects inside an <object> tag.

Also, in Chrome, best you right click + inspect + console + SHIFT Reload.

You have several problems with your page which will eventually cause render problems in coming versions of Chrome + Firefox, likely also all other major browsers.

Target have your console... cricket quiet...

so currently i don't have an  stable  working solution !!🤔🤔🤔
having just looked at your url shortener, malware bytes blocked most of the ads.  

link Publisher ... I am making YouTube  videos and Publish my links

don't your youtube videos generate any money?  So what you are doing is
(a) opening the ad and then redirecting to the video... Are you monetizing your videos?

create a page and monetize the page using taboola or outbrain

i don't know about malware bytes thing never used it to block ads !!!  i use pop up ad blocker and i recommend it ...
as you can see no malware  has been detected
VirusTotal  scan report
YouTube rules around what channels can be monetized
Channels needs 4,000 hours of annual viewing time and over 1,000 subscribers
don't your youtube videos generate any money?
no not yet
So what you are doing is
(a) opening the ad and then redirecting to the video... Are you monetizing your videos?
no there is description under the videos  i post links about the topic of the video or links that contents  required tool/files for execution of  the steps .........
create a page and monetize the page using taboola or outbrain
YouTube is my only interest by now  .... managing a page and monetizing it ...is a more work for me .....and if linked the page and the YouTube  videos i will get less chance user clicking my links .. and we will return to the start point users with ad block !!!
Some of the sites linked to via your weblink shortener are malicious or fraudulent sites. an example is shown here

as i said just popup ad blocker and click on the skip ad thing !! and i am not the Administrator of the shown ads ... i may report this to the website !
if you press skip ad then you have to set a defined location in your settings, unfortunately, it seems to be the exact same link for all shortened urls'.  Their forums are completely full of spam posts.
