  To support the service (and keep free features free), we sometimes run advertisements, and the agreement for this has been in our terms of service since 2006.

  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/

  No matter the theme, premium or free, the ads will show up unless like staff-blorbo says, you get the no ads upgrade.

  Also, if you care enough about how your site looks to invest in a premium theme, then you really need to factor the no-ads upgrade into your budget, because many of the ads here are far from tasteful and will basically ruin the look you paid to get.

  Definitely. I have the Ad Control upgrade, which reduces the number of ads, but some of them are still pretty tacky.

  I assume this new ad thing is not for blogs hosted by wp ….. Am I correct?

  Unless you have the no ads upgrade, then ads will appear on your posts here at wordpress.com. They don’t appear on the main page, but they do appear on the single-post pages.

  You will not see them when you visit your site while logged in, and probably not even when logged out since wordpress would see their cookie on your system.

  Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then visit your site and click on the title of a post to go to the single post page to see the ads.
