They should integrate their ad platform with their static image platform - ie, all logos, thumbnails, and ads are served from the same dir on the same host, perhaps with similar filenames.

Adblock would still work, but ad-rippers be reduced to a text only site.

It's trivial to get past adblock, but the fact that users use adblock means they're not the type of user you can monetize easily.

Getting past adblock doesn't really help. Changing the userbase does, but it's a bit late for that :/
