Why use [removed]?

Question

I was wondering why ad\'s still use the document.write approach to inserting the add into the page

Answer 1

I stand corrected, doc.write created scripts are blocking - worse than I though heh :) - but as an adblock avoider it's really weak, so I can only conclude it's an SOP mechanism for dynamically adding params to a script request overused.

Use the DOM insertion technique when avoiding script blocks kids.

Answer 2

I don't know for certain, but they might use it so all the content on the website is loaded and shown to the user first, then the ads are loaded and shown.

Answer 3

A traditional script tag will block the page while it is loading and executing. A script loaded with document.write will work asynchronously. That's why you see this on ads or analytics, as such scripts don't influence the page content directly.
