This is basically completely off-topic for CSS-D. Try a more general lis, such 
as Webdesign-L.

More on topic: web developers should have a working knowledge of the world of 
ad blockers, to make sure their legitimate content isn't blocked or otherwise 
affected. As far as stylesheet goes, this mostly affect the way selectors are 
written (class names and ids). I've also seen quite a few pages where contents 
is mangled because their template uses ads as structural elements. Remove the 
ad and the construction falls apart.
(yeah, something like #advertisement {clear: both;}

(I help maintain one ad blocker, and have contributed to others in the past)
