Expoitative advertising

    @ lizarkoski … ‘If you don’t want to be enrolled in this program I will remove the ads on your site.’ … does this mean that these people have ‘signed’ up for this service? (WordAds) (thereby entering into a contractual agreement with the service) … or an across-the-board ‘opt-in’ that WordPress has instigated, and ‘opting-out’ requires each individual blog to manually ‘opt-out?

  • widdershinsfirst – Yes. That site has opted in to the WordAds as it is on an upgraded plan, and they make money from those ads. With a free site the ads are there by default.

  • dandelionsalad – Did you see my email from yesterday? All I can see here is that your last post was from 1 day ago, not sure if that was before or after we talked.

  • barovsky – Thank you. I am looking at your site shortly and I’ll be in touch by email.

  • ricjcs –

    Many bloggers are in the same situation and do not know. It is unfair, that only a few users (including myself) have a individual support.

    We have worked hard to ensure that our free users are able to get support for their blogs and sites. This is not the same everywhere. There’s a dedicated team of Happiness Engineers that work in the forums, exclusively, to provide this support. Support is not hidden and everyone with an account can access us here.

  • I’ve marked this thread “resolved” but it is still open to comments. If you do not hear from me within a day or so please add the modlook tag as I have some upcoming vacation time coming. One of my colleagues will assist you. Thanks!
