adblock

Is there a general class or ID for a html element that a high majority of popular adblockers will block on a website it has no information for. My intention is to have my advertisement blocked, avoiding automatic blocking is easy enough... I was thinking of maybe lending some ids or classes from big advertisment companies that area already being fought off quite actively. right now my html

<ul id=partners>
 <li class=advertisment><a href=# class=sponsor><img class=banner></a></li>
</ul>

Will this work or is there a more solid approach?
