  I was completely surprised to see several unauthorized ads on my blog pages. The ads are large and obstrusive to content. I do NOT want your no-ad upgrade. i just want to know that these are YOUR authorized ads — is this what has to appear on my pages unless I want to pay for an upgrade?

  (I have virtually no followers because my blog is so new.)

  Hi there,

  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 as you mention: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

  Could you send us a screenshot of the ads, and we’ll have a look?

  You can email them to us at help@wordpress.com

  Thanks!
