When someone is looking at my site I want them to take their time and look at what I have to offer--clicking on some banner ad for a few pennies isn't part of the mix.
For a few pennies they'll never see. Google AdSense doesn't issue a check/EFT until your earnings reach $100. The average small site will never earn enough to receive a check.

I agree that these sites are making a major mistake in blocking FF. They may want to consider
why people are using adblock on their sites.
I use adblock selectively.
TT is whitelisted. Some sites have such friggin' annoying, stupid ads, I block ads on the whole site. These are the sites that need to consider just why they are being blocked, and adjust their advertising strategy or whatever! Stop driving us crazy with the miserable pop-ups, etc., and we won't mind viewing the ads!! So there!

I assume you mean you set Firefox up so you can still see TT's Google ads. How do I go about "whitelisting" them?

Well, I didn't really do it so that I could
see the ads......lol. I did it because I knew that bbh/regic wouldn't run ads that would make me/people crazy.
Anyhoo.........just go to tools > adblock > whitelist this whole site.

One of the most frequent questions I receive from new web store owners is "how do I add AdSense to my store", and my reply is always "don't do it". If you're a new store owner the last thing you want to do is send potential buyers to your competitors.
