Oh, and one more thing, if you block banner ads you may miss very funny ads like this one - Bridge Worldwide 2009: Cannes Cyber Lions Gold - Pringles Can Hands (yes, before anyone pulls me up I did pinch the URL from Best Banner Ad Design Companies - Web Banner Ad Rankings). It sure made me laugh (just remember to keep clicking the ad)! Then again, you may not be able to see it if you are blocking banner ads!
