A:
The best way is to ask the user nicely to turn the blocker off, because you really need pop-ups. Some apps use this approach, but it is certainly not suitable for a public web service.

A:
Instead of using javascript, first try using a simple target="_blank". Popup blockers will tend to disable JS rather than simple html.
a href="#" target="_blank"
If that doesn't work, you might want to consider something like the colorbox - http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/
This works in the same way as a popup, but doesn't bring up a new window.
... (You could just ask people told press ctrl+click when they click the link to your pop-up - that's the generic 'temporarily allow pop-ups' shortcut)

A:
Rather than showing a traditional popup, consider showing an in-page popup instead. For example:
- If you just want to display an image at a larger size, use Lightbox.
- If you need something with more interactivity, use the dialog widget in jQuery UI.
- You might also want to consider one of these.
However, make sure you have a good reason to show the popup, using one to show ads will probably just annoy users.
