Ad placed in the wordpress blog
-
I don’t mind ad placed in my blog, but it helps if they don’t put the ad right underneath the header. This is a non-profit blog to help parents sending children for a foreign study save some money. The ad confuses the subject. Can’t WordPress organise a column on the right to put ads so people know this ad got nothing to do with the blog. The blog has a small readership of less than 20 people. I don’t understand how the ad can benefit the advertiser. If you want to place ads, go look for blogs that attract thousands of readers.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks for the feedback! Ad placement can depend on a number of factors, and we can’t control their position on a case-by-case basis.
You might try creating a static front page to see if that helps, but I can’t guarantee anything:
https://wordpress.com/page — create it here, then try setting it as your front page:
https://wordpress.com/support/pages/front-page/The best option though is to just remove ads through an upgrade.
This one just removes ads:

This is not encouraging. It takes effort to write a blog. And the ads make my head dizzy. I am an aged Senior trying to move away from the dinosaur to the digital edge. Don’t have money to upgrade. I barely break even on book sales. Maybe WordPress can help with two categories of clients. The usual business blog and the non-profit ones. When we convert to a business blog, you charge for an upgrade if we don’t want ads. Or you can track the blog for views. If it makes a thousand views, allow ads if the blogger doesn’t want an upgrade. Because by the time it gets a thousand views, it means the blogger is a veteran. By then, I can’t complain about seeing stars too!

Hi there,
I’m happy to share that feedback with our team, but for now as a matter of policy we show ads on free sites to help offset the cost of hosting and staff to keep them running, so we are not able to turn off ads on your site.
Let us know if you need further assistance or if you have any questions.

You only have four lines of text in your initial post. Then the single ad displays. I suggest you add a lot more text and even some images if at all possible to that initial post. That will push the advert further down and make the front page people initially see when they log in ad-free.

I deleted one of my blogs on another account, because of those sponsored adverts, they are horrendous, and completely ruin a blog. I had 8 adverts on one post (plus two other adverts on the blog, one in the header and one in the side bar), and they are quite large pictures, so they are not even discreet. One image was of a dog emptying his bowels, another was two women about to kiss, and I also had one for prostrate problems, and one with a woman bending forwards with her breasts hanging out. This is done deliberately to force people to pay for an upgrade. Just as new people are finding they cannot find a way to get a free blog, because it is hidden behind payment sections. WordPress have now lost their morals completely, and everything is money, money, money. Don’t tell me that those adverts are needed to pay for a free blog, because we already had adverts all over the blog that more than paid for it, this is just about greed. I am done with wordpress and after this comment I am deleting all my accounts. I hope many more people follow. Blogger is a better option.

The ads your viewers will see on your site are determined by their location, browsing history, and other factors.
We screen the ads we display for mature or illegal content. Sometimes, however, you or visitors to your site might still see ads you object to — for example, ads for political causes or products you oppose. We do not endorse the content of any ad, and we encourage you to inform your audience that ads are not selected by site owners, but rather generated by our advertising software.
If you find an ad objectionable, you can click the “Report this ad” link by any ad or fill out the form here to report it to our ads team for investigation:
