To be absolutely clear because some people seem to be missing the point:

It is an uphill battle and some traffic is bound to be lost due to adblockers. They block specific sites, they block counters, affiliate links etc based on various criteria. Plus these list are all "user contributed" so you never know what some user is going to suggest for blocking.

So we cannot win this 100%

BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN:

You should always avoid using OBVIOUS tracking strings (*track* *ads* *banner* *adv* etc) in your URL's, directory and file names etc because some of them WILL DEFINITELY end up blocked based on that.

And this is what I'm talking about in this thread.
