  I saw an ad on my site that I did not authorize. I thought I would not have anything appearing on my WordPress site that I didn’t authorize or request.

  We sometimes run advertisements in order to support the service and keep free features free. We’ve tested a lot of different ad providers and currently use Google AdSense and Skimlinks. We try hard to make the ads discreet and effective, and only run them in limited places.

  If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade (introduced in 2008) which you can purchase in your Upgrades page.
