CLICK THE MONKEY

Doc has a good idea here.

That's why I'd like to see some kind of notification system built into AdBlock. Wouldn't it be helpful to let advertisers know that you have negative attention for their goods: that those goods are explicitly unwanted?

You could even borrow the idea of Kuro5hin's ad comments and let users write in a reason for blocking the ad along with the URL when they block it.

This would be especially useful for content sites. Fake MSFT-Windows error messages or "CLICK THE MONKEY AND WIN AN IPOD" might have great click-throughs, but might not be worth it in the long run if many users choose to block your whole ad server.
