I am not using an ad blocker. I do not see ads on your site.

To off-set the costs of providing free hosting to millions of bloggers, WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. If the ads you see are found at the end of blog posts then provided you see this small About These Ads link what you are seeing is WordPress.com generated advertising. http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/

Any other ads appearing to you are not placed by WordPress.com. You could have an issue on your browser or computer. These ads are sometimes caused by malware, adware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:

tameralynnkraft,
It does say:

“To eliminate ads on your blog entirely, you can purchase our WordPress.com Premium or WordPress.com Business plans. This is especially attractive and useful to business blogs in order to eliminate any possibility of competitors’ ads displaying on their domains.”

Ads on WordPress.com

As timethief has mentioned, there are no ads showing on you blog at this time.

I already have the premium plan. But all of a sudden, I’m seeing ads.

I’m still seeing ads. I’m glad nobody else is.

@tameralynnkraft,
I already read that.

Did you actually read what I posted at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/still-seeing-ads?replies=5#post-2522311 and did you act on it?

@tameralynnkraft if you’ll send a screenshot of the ads you’re seeing (you can put it in your media library ) we may be able to help you identify the source. I’m guessing you have some kind of adware on your computer.

I did something to my computer last night, and the ads went away. It must have been on my end. Thanks for the help.
