I have some good news and some bad news.

Bad news first: Ghostery probably isn't going be helpful with the remaining ads. They're either indistinguishable from legitimate content, or too rare to be worthwhile (e.g. the ad in the upper right-hand corner). You might be able to stomp them with an ad blocker or a site-specific style sheet (Firefox and Opera have native support; Chrome and Safari can use the Stylish extension).

Good news: There may be something here for us after all.

Pressly

Website: www.pressly.com

Examples:
www.alleywatch.com

Pattern: /api\\.pressly\\.com\\/(.*)redirect\\.js/
