Adsense not working
-
I’m trying to add adsense code to the sidebar of my blog using a text widget, but whenever I click save, the code dissapears. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Adsense is not allowed here – no blogger initiated advertising at all – use Ad words or nothing (you would need to apply for it and be accepted) – you put ads on your site and the site will be suspended – no affiliate links either

Do you know if I can reduce my 12 month premium subscription for my blog to a shorter subscription? This is ridiculous.

If you are within the 30 day refund period, you can ask for a refund. Otherwise, no, since the No Ads policy is clearly stated in the Terms of Service you agreed to when you opened a blog here.

See “Choosing the WordPress plan that’s right for your site”
Note that none of the plans allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. If you need a site that requires a custom theme or plugins — e.g., if you want to be able to sell things directly from your site, or you want to install discussion forums, etc — a self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you. Learn about the difference here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers.
Provided you are logged in under the same username account that purchased the upgrades, you can request a refund yourself directly from the Store section of your Dashboard
http://en.support.wordpress.com/upgrades/#refundsNote: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

Guess I should have read the terms of service. This is a load of shite. When my year is up, is there a way to transfer all the content of my blog to a self hosted wordpress blog? And what about my stats?
-
Not reading the Terms of Service and clicking the box saying you did can be referred to as lack of due diligence but if you want to refer to it as shite that’s your prerogative.
It’s your content; you can do whatever you like with it. This support doc explains the various ways to transfer your content to another blog or platform http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
After you purchase web hosting http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up the WordPress.org install you can import your content into it. http://wordpress.org/
Provided you install and activate the JetPack plugin on your WordPress.org install http://jetpack.me Staff can do the transfer for you.

Thanks. Guess I’ve learned to read the ToS whenever I pay this much for something. Don’t like being fecked.

You’re allowed to buy a car if you’ve got a driver’s license and the insurance. It’s your responsibility to make sure you can drive a stick shift if that’s what you bought. You weren’t fucked, you didn’t do your research.
-
It’s too late for the refund. And not true, Raincoaster. Just because I was too stupid to read the ToS, doesn’t mean I didn’t get fucked. Getting fucked is still getting fucked if the person got themself into it.
-
70+ euro for a domain name, hosting and sweet fuck all else that I couldn’t have done on a WordPress.org blog minus the ability to monetise my site and add affiliates is getting fucked. Not for everyone, but it is for me.
-
You fucked yourself because, in your own words, you were too stupid to read the ToS. You were also too stupid to do even the most basic google search, because it would have told you WP.com blogs can’t have ads.
You are studying computer science and you didn’t catch this until after the 30 day refund period was up? How is that WordPress’s fault.
-
I set myself up to be fucked. WordPress.com were the ones who fucked me. And yeah, me studying computer science totally correlates to the quickness with which I realise that I can’t monetise my site, right? And maybe I didn’t feel the need to google if WordPress.com was definitely “the WordPress” that I’ve heard about when it’s the first result on Google Search.
-
How about looking on this as an early lesson in reading the fine print?
– before I moved I did read the TOS several times, there were parts that were a bit difficult to understand (who owns the content (you do but it is a bit obscure with some very legal language about granting a license to display ) and I finally decided to move here and have been very happy for the most part (a few of the “improvements” upset me a bunch) –
I have a friend that read the TOS several times on several hosts and decided to not set her site up here because of the TOS
-
Yeah, definitely going to make sure to read them when signing up for sites like these in future. I guess I can be thankful for WordPress.com for one thing. That this will experience will stop me from being fucked even harder in the future.

ALL hosts have terms of service, no matter who the host is – in one case I know of (not on WordPress.COM) – the web site hit the front page of the newspapers and the web host did not want to be associated with that type of a web site – – the site was taken down at once and some backup CD’s mailed to the contact of record –
-
We do allow advertising via WordAds, http://wordads.co and as part of our WordAds program, we are expanding options for monetizing a blog. If you like the WordPress.com service otherwise, I’d recommend you look into WordAds for the future.
