  I am noticing ads on some WordPress.com accounts. That used to be impossible. What has changed in the last couple of years?

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

  Okay, I found word-ads. Neat. I think that is a great idea and glad to see it.

  How much traffic does one need before Word-ads is useful?

  I assume it also depends on other metrics, such as if your site attracts a specific niche?

  Right now the issue is how many people are in line ahead of you. There are over a thousand people waiting to be approved. For a thousand hits per day, I believe you can expect $10 a month or thereabouts.

  Thanks. I am a hobby blogger now and was just curious.

  That is huge that wordpress.com has that option now. Had I known that was available I would have never goofed around with wordpress.org .

  Easy to say in hindsight LOL…
