    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 am one of a few that ticked off all the right boxes for a free blog but never once had the pleasure to see an advertisement … i am not hating it i signed up knowing it was there … 1st time in 3yrs i have actually seen one … i’m good but wanted to know it was legit !
    i am done with this question and thank you for getting the confirmation for our great community !!!

    Thanks Y’all
