  I’m getting links in my blog that I didn’t put there. How are they getting there and how can I remove them?

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

  WordPress.com does not use text enhance or text link ads or pop-up ads or links in comments. If you are seeing those then that’s a browser-ad-on issue, or in some cases, it’s embedded into free games downloaded from the internet. See here: Bloggers: Beware of Adware.

  If that doesn’t address your issue then copying and pasting from elsewhere can result in embedding links that you did not expect to see on your blog.

  OK, I’m only getting them on Chrome. How do I get rid of it?
