    The government should make those ad blockers illegal. That really sucks. Maybe there is some way to redirect those ad blockers to another page?

    I admit to surfing using an an blocker and objects blocker (java, javascript, flash, etc) and view sites I think will be "OK" (i.e. no spam of popups, flash and java) in an browser which has no blocker. You might find that some people are surfing with just javascript disabled, rather than an adblocker. (Do you have any way to check this? Does your visitor tracker use javascript?)

    So, if that's the case, and you site uses javascript for more than just adsense, you can do a check for javascript and display a message "please enable javascript inorder to view this site properly" or similar.

    Otherwise, depending on your site's topic, you could set up your own advertising system. There are plenty of ready-made scripts available for us. This would get around adblockers as you don't need to use frames/iframes or javascript and might be more profitable, if you can get advertisers.
