Why are ads appearing on my website?

  • Unknown's avatar

    My account on wordpress.com has recently become riddled with ads. The posts on my blog are also filled with links that I did not put there. Can these ads and links be stopped and removed?

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

  • Howdy Zack,

    Most likely, we didn’t add those to your site either. I’m not seeing them myself.

    My first thought is to check the add-ons and extensions for your browser. There are a number of extensions/add-ons that will add links to sites that you’re viewing to try to generate revenue for the developer of that add-on.

    To see your list of extensions in Chrome, visit chrome://extensions or choose “Extensions” in the “Window” menu of Chrome.

    If that doesn’t seem to be the case or want me to check further, please upload a screenshot to your media library. We have instructions on making a screenshot and you can upload it to your media library at https://zackdonaldson.wordpress.com/wp-admin/media-new.php

    Cheers!

    That took care of the problem – thanks. I tried figuring out how to do that before contacting you but couldn’t find it.
