I don't think you should have to block these sites - you are a business. Have you thought about compiling a list, that others can add to, of sites that block people using Ad-Blockers?
Question: Do you think companies are cutting off their own foot by such practices? I send interesting articles / product info from sites to those who might find useful. I am a much better direct marketing resource - get them to possible converting customers - than annoying ads that only piss off most of internet users.
Thanks for great site, just found it tonight when I googled "sites ask turn off ad blocking" after I read an article on Forbes about ad-blocking and the benefits. I found an ad-blocker, installed the ad-on to my browser, went to find that article again to send to a colleague to check out the useful info - hard to come by good content these days - and discovered I had to whitelist Forbes or continue being blocked. Ironic to say the least - left Forbes and could care less if I read another article from them again.
