  WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. Many bloggers do not know this because despite the fact they ticked the box required to get a free blog, they did not read the ToS. Many also do not read features page, or advertising entry in the support documents after registering their username and blog(s). Also note that as the ads do not display to us when we are logged in, and as many use browsers with ad blockers when logged out, they may not realize they are there at all. The only way to get rid of all advertising on our free hosted WordPress.com blogs is to purchase an annually renewable No-Ads upgrade.

  I very nearly thought I’d never FIND the bottom of your blog! D@mn that’s a lot of posts to have on one page…

  I saw no ad when I did reach the bottom.

  I think maybe an occasional ad is the price we pay for getting free websites. They’ve got to get money from somewhere to pay the overtime to fix things like the bug that crippled every new blog created on July 17 and 18 <g>.
