---- How Best to Manage Visitors With Ad Blocking Turned On

I think it is best not to block users who use adblockers, unless you really can't afford your webhosting costs anymore due to enormous bandwidth costs.

I believe users who block ads are much less likely to click on ads. And while they don't provide you direct revenue they might give you indirect revenue by referring your site to their friends, giving you a link on a website/forum, ...

The technology isn't that complicated to stop visitors with ad blockers from viewing the site and a simple technique could even be employed to detect the lack of javascript running.

Many people who block ads do have JavaScript enabled. Many websites require JavaScript for various features. Most people who block JavaScript to this to avoid potential security risks.
