  It looks like they clicked on one of the adsense ads that wordpress.COM occasionally shows on our blogs. If people come to your blog from a search engine, occasionally wordpress will show google adsense ads on your blog to help pay for the expenses of running a free blog hosting service.

  Oh, OK. I was just curious. I thought maybe one of my links went wacko. I’ve never seen one of those pop up. Would I actually see one, or just a visitor?

  Logged-in users and regular readers will not normally see ads on WordPress.com. They are shown only to a small percentage of viewers, and we try not to annoy regular visitors with them.
