Adsense Ads

  • Unknown's avatar

    Of all the blog posts I have on my blog, wordpress or google or whomever decided to place an ad on this post: http://faireunvoeu.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/sleep-silent-angel-2/ I understand completely that I have a free blog and that wordpress may or may not place random ‘discreet’ ads when they please per the tos, however… seriously? It couldn’t have been ANY other post besides that one? So insensitive. I am trying to contact support privately to handle this with a request to have that ad removed or moved, but per the message on the support page [pasted below] apparently that isn’t an option today. So I’m posting this here in the forum in hopes staff will see it and contact me. Thank you.

    The Happiness Team is heading to St. Louis for just over a week of brainstorming, code-cracking, and happiness engineering. We’ll be back on the 15th August full of zest, fresh ideas, and perhaps a hot dog or two. We hope to make things better for you guys during this time, so stay tuned!

    In the meantime, please use the search box below to find a solution to any problems. Alternatively, head to the WordPress.com Forums if you’re in a pickle, there are some great volunteers who will be able to sort you out, and we’ll also be checking in there regularly.

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

    WordPress.com has been running ads on their free hosted blogs since 2006. The is stated in the ToS, on the features page and in support documentation as well. http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/

    The only way to remove advertising from a free hosted WordPress.com blog is to purchase a No-Ads upgrade.

    Yes, I realize that and mentioned the same in my op.

    My question was for staff since I could not contact them via the usual contact form due to the fact that they are out of their offices & mentioned in their message that they would be keeping up here in the forums. [see op] And I am not asking for the advertising to be removed as a whole, rather to have that particular ad moved or removed.

    I’m not aware of Staff providing any special removal service. If I had been then as I have blogged here prior to the advertising introduced then my removal list would be longer than I am tall. I will flag this thread for their attention.

    BTW please remove the “staff” tag as it’s meaningless.

  • 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: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

    Please let us know if you have any more questions!
