If you filter out all/most of the major ad networks, you won't see much. And if you do a bunch of blocks such as *.*.*/ads/* or banners.*.*/* you might filter out a lot of junk ads also.

I'm not entirely sure of a lot of awesome tricks at this since I myself am new to the adblocking world, but you'll catch on to a few methods once you use it more. Well hopefully anyway. ;)

Here is some of my blocks:

Here's mine (slightly older version than the one I'm currently using. Not backed it up in a bit.). If I'm going to sites that are likely to be full of ads then I add more vicious ones. *ad* etc.
