By far the best ad blocking solution is AdAway, which will block ads from most known sources, both in your browser of choice and in the apps you use. Just download it, start it up, and hit the "Download files and apply ad blocking" button. It'll download a few host files and merge them into your phone's, blocking those apps from ever reaching your device. You may need to reboot after you do this. You can also disable ad blocking at any time, but again, you'll have to reboot whenever you make changes.
If you have a particular site that's still showing ads, you can find out the domain of that ad (for example, ads.doubleclick.net and add it to AdAway's blacklist. To do so, open up AdAway, hit Menu, and go to Lists. Navigate to the Black tab, hit Menu, and tap the Add button. Type in ads.doubleclick.net and click Add. Those ads should stop showing up after a reboot.
Similarly, blocking ads can mess with certain apps and make them unusable (The popular Words with Friends game is a good example). To whitelist those ads, go back to Menu > List and hit the White tab. Go to Menu > Add to add a new domain, and add the domain of the ads it's trying to show—in the case of Words with Friends, it would be androidsdk.ads and mydas.mobi. Note that you can only add advertising domains on the whitelist, not the sites on which the ads appear. That is, if you wanted to whitelist ads on Lifehacker, you couldn't just add lifehacker.com to your whitelist—you'd have to add ad.doubleclick.net, where our ads are hosted. If you ever decide to uninstall AdAway, remember to disable ad blocking first, otherwise your phone will continue to block ads with no way to turn it off.
