About these Ads?
-
Why am I suddenly seeing very small type at the bottom of my posts that say “about these ads”?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To off-set the costs of providing free hosting to millions of bloggers, WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. Many bloggers do not know this because despite the fact they ticked the box required to get a free blog, they did not read the ToS. Many also do not read the advertising entry in the support documents after registering their username and blog(s). Also note that as the ads do not display to us when we are logged in, and as many use browsers with ad blockers when logged out, they may not realize they are there at all.
10. Advertisements. Automattic reserves the right to display advertisements on your blog unless you have purchased an Ad-free Upgrade or a VIP Services account. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
If the ads you see are found at the end of blog posts then provided you see this small About These Ads link what you are seeing is WordPress.com generated advertising.
Lastly, note to eliminate all advertising on our free hosted WordPress.com blogs we can purchase an annually renewable No-Ads upgrade.

Perhaps it doesn’t have enough traffic as yet for you to have the ads simpleminded. Bottom line: The only exceptions are blogs with No-Ads upgrades like mine. Unless you purchase a No-Ads upgrade your blog will be hosting ads placed on it by WordPress.com.
