  Dear all,

  I have a youtube ad at the end of my post – http://ziaclara.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/accident/ – and I would like to have this off. How do I keep any ads from appearing?

  Thanks,

  cp

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

  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.

  If you feel an ad is inappropriate please take a screenshot of it and send it to Staff by emailing support@wordpress.com or upload it into your Media Library and contact Staff and let them know it’s there for them to view.

  Thank for this; I must admit that I did not read that.

  I could be wrong but I don’t believe that many bloggers do read those entries. The bottom line is we must purchase No-Ads upgrades every year to eliminate ads from our blogs.
