That depends on what your purpose is for using an ad blocker in the first place.
If you just don't want to see ads, by all means overlay them and your ad blocker will probably go undetected.
But a lot of people run ad blockers to save bandwidth or avoid being tracked or to avoid the malware that's been known to be distributed through even the most reputable ad networks. Overlays don't solve those problems.
