  Hi there!

  I visited my blog on another computer and noticed that there was advertising at the end of a post. I cant see this advertising on my blog when I am logged on and I have never set up any advertising for my blog. Can anyone help with how I would go about finding out how this got there and who may have put it there?

  Thanks
  Amy

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

  WordPress.com has been displaying advertising on our blogs since 2006. As they do not display to us when we are signed in you may not have noticed them previously. The ToS section 9 that we agree to in order to get a blog states this, the features page states this, and so does the advertising entry in the support documentation but many bloggers do not read these. The bottom line is that if you do not wish to have advertising displaying on your blog you will have to purchase an annually renewable No-Ads upgrade.

  So even if the blog is not hosted with wordpress this is the case?

  This is the support forum for those who have free hosted WordPress.com blogs only, like the one linked to your username. My response was given in that context. Please read this WordPress.com vs WordPress.org

  We do not provide support for any blogs that are not being free hosted by WordPress.com here. Those who have hired web hosts an set up WordPress.org installs must get support at this forum http://wordpress.org/support/
