It may depend on *where* the ads are, relative to the content that you
desire. One options is --no-parent, which will either be perfect or
useless for you. Alternatively, there's the -X ("exclude directories")
option. There is also the -R option (filename patterns to reject). My
understanding is that this should all be obvious from the wget manual,
although I have no measure of the applicability of these options for
your situation.
