  Hi, I have a free blog account for academic purposes. I recently noticed that my traffic has reduced. I also noticed that I have the strangest ads coming up with my blogs. Are my readers refusing to open my blogs in case they have a virus from the pop usup adverts? How do I stop the adverts

  If you no longer want adverts on your free wordpress.com site, you must upgrade to a paid plan, https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  You didn’t answer the question.
  If people are concerned over 3rd party ads, you should be honest and sort the issue.
  There are many sites who run 3rd party ads ( including online newspapers etc and tbey put a dislaimer : ‘” We can not be responsible for 3rd party ads”.

  Well, they shouldn’t run them.

  The ad industry is a con, just like marketing.
