I currently never see a Google Ad from AdSense. This is because I have installed AdBlock for Firefox.

I have blocked the iframe, and nothing from the google ad servers is shown.

How can Google get around this problem? One solution would be to use XmlHttpRequest:

• Have XHR go back to the servers to get the ad content
• Add this content to a <div> dynamically

Of course, this isn't a solution. We could then block those div elements based on IDs. So, Google would probably want to randomly create div ids for the content.

Also, there are many other possibilities. The ads could change dynamically based on:

• Where you are on the page
• If you are mouse over a div with a given rel tag, the ad could change to something relevant to that area even
• "Those who were here, also went there"
• etc..
