I think your views are not encompassing the causal effect of the problem. Destroying the tube sites by ad blocking is a short-sighted notion.

Public non acceptance of advertiser tracking and data mining in mainstream Internet advertising is the driving force. By the use of ad bocking software, the motivations are simple; the issues of Internet browsing privacy along with the profiling and tracking by Internet advertisers (Google's DoubleClick being a prime example) are the exact same issues that motivated the new EU Cookie laws. In time the same sort of laws will probably be adopted by other nations.

The two causes are interrelated -- you might say you are suffering collateral damage in a larger war.

One solution is simple in theory, difficult in practice -- host your advertising creatives (banners {or embeds}) on your own servers. Another possible solution is someone coming up with an API to make 100,000 mini adserver domains and make the ad blockers ineffective one day maybe.

One thing certain -- the cat is out of the bag and you have to start dealing with it. With regard to affiliate program tools from a common affiliate image server -- your own success is your enemy in this regard -- that is an acknowledged fact.
