Like Phoenetic said, the admins are currently trying to fix this issue, but there are a few ways for you to block the ads for now until the problem is fixed.
You can turn restrict the App Store like BJ did, pretty easy and convenient if you don't use the store a lot. You'll just have to remember to unrestrict it when you actually want to use it. You can do this through parental controls (Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable > Safari).
There's also the option of putting on guided access mode. What this does is it locks you into one app (in this case, Safari or whatever browser you use) and will prevent that app from closing without your consent. This will also work in other apps that sometimes try to prompt you into opening other apps. (YouTube, games etc.) You can enable this by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access.
If you don't use Safari for anything outside of ATRL then turning off JavaScript would work too, and probably be less annoying. You can disable it by going to Settings > Safari and turning JavaScript off. Of course, if you use other sites that you know use JS than this is the worst and least practical option.
These are your three best options, do whichever one is most convenient for you.
