  Hi – today I noticed hyperlinks to ads WITHIN the text of my posts. I understand that you’re going to slap ads after my posts, but this is disruptive in a bad way. I will 100% leave Word Press if this is going to continue. Can you tell me why this happened and if it will be your practice going forward? I didn’t see any alert about it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com doesn’t put links on the text of your posts.

  Please note that it’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were not placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

  These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:
