  Today I found an advertisement window appearing in today’s post. I don’t know where it came from, but suspect I’ve been spammed, botted, or whatever you would call it.

  I don’t see any evidence of the ad when I’m logged in and editing, only if I log out (or the public views it).

  How can I get rid of it?

  OK … Nevermind … How does one know when WordPress is going to run an ad? In this case, I was writing a post in reflection of Veterans Day. Seems inappropriate to me to also see Britney gyrating to a Pepsi commercial at a most inappropriate time!

  I don’t have a problem with the concept, since I have not yet opted for ad-free content. And if it had been at any other post, I wouldn’t be annoyed about this first intrusion. But timing is everything.

  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/
