  I just started noticing ads at the bottom of my posts. Really annoying ones too. Is there any way to get rid of them?

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

  From the support document on advertising:

  Note: To support the service (and keep free features free), we sometimes run advertisements. We try hard to only run them in limited places. If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade.

  I just noticed at Intel ad flashing at the end of one the articles on my blog. My blog is a legal blog about electronic health information technology and patient privacy rights. I find the Intel ad particularly inappropriately and potentially a violation of the legal code for attorneys in my state. Is placing ads on blogs a new development by WordPress?

  I think I saw that ads have been on WordPress.COM since 2006 – at any rate they have been here for several years – that is how they pay for the “free” blog that you have.

  You can opt out with the No Ads upgrade for $ 30/ year if you want.

  It is also in the Terms of Service we agree to. See #9.

  Okay, thanks. My law firm immediately subscribed to the No-Ads Upgrade upon learning of the ads.
