  John,
  Can you tell me whether or not your are referring to a post you reblogged. if so, then yes it will contain a link to the original post on the other blogger’s blog.

  All WordPress.com placed ads are easy to identify as this link accompanies them http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/

  Any other ads you see are not placed on the blog by WordPress.com. They are coming from a browser extension or toolbar. These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads: http://www.littletechiethings.com/2012/06/how-to-remove-ads-not-by-this-site.html http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/14/ads-on-wikipedia-your-computer-infected-malware/ http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/

  If you use the information at the sites I linked to and still see ads please post screenshot http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ Upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

  No, that’s not what I mean. For instance

  In my last post here
  the words ‘word press’ and ‘computer,’ are on thus screen I am looking at highlighted in blue, with 2 blue lines under.

  When i put the mouse over, a ‘holiday ad’ comes up. and the site is pow.com

  I believe they are coming from a browser extension or toolbar. Please refer to the links I posted above to get rid of them.
