  Hi there, I have a paid wordpress site, which I thought meant that I dont have to worry about 3rd party ads. However when I clicked on the title of a specific blog entry on my page (which loaded that blog) I noticed that I had ads on the bottom of the page. (A Yahoo sports add and something about Lady GaGa’s birthday?)

  Shouldn’t I be free of ads?

  Hi there,

  To support the service (and keep free features free), we do sometimes run advertisements. 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:
