Take an example of this problem from this page
http://10steps.sg/category/tutorials/photoshop/
Open this page http://10steps.sg/tutorials/photoshop/creating-an-impactful-disco-party-poster/
You will fine that you can't enter reader mode, but open any other link you will find that it is working.
I faced the same problem with psdtuts.com some pages work with reader and some don't.
Where can i send that to safari's team?

If you do some more research on Reader, you'll realize that the site determines if it
can be picked up by Reader, not Safari.

Perhaps the disclaimer on that site will give a clue:

There is one thing you can do about it. Open up a new document im Pages or Word and copy and paste the text from the article to the word processor. In this way you can read it without the distraction of STUPID advertising...
