@ auxclass, I am unsure. I didn't notice any new advertisements at the youtube page of the video.
I also don't understand why when I turn flash off in my browsers the ad is still there.

I hope to see what staff says. maybe its a bug that they can get rid of.

WordPress.com does not use text enhance or text link ads or pop-up ads or links in comments. If you are seeing those then that's a browser-ad-on issue, or in some cases, it's embedded into free games downloaded from the internet. See here: Bloggers: Beware of Adware. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/

If what you are seeing whenever you save or update a post or page is an automatically added code/script block at the end of posts and pages that you can't delete then see here: Malware Targets Macs and Windows PCs http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/10/02/malware-targets-macs-and-windows-pcs/

This image issue only came about a couple days ago.

it appears to be suspicious, to me.....

this image is immediately after the iframe of embedded video code.

their is no code for the advertisement image in my editor...

is this a new ad policy or an error?

The ads on my blogs homepage are horribly placed. They cover my content and side widgets, and are not at all aligned with the structure of my blog's theme. Because of the placement, the ads are a total distraction and are impairing the quality of my site's appearance.

Does anyone know how I can move the ads (to the left) so they are properly aligned with my homepage content?

My site is tessashomemade.com.

Thanks for your help!

From the definition of affiliate links:
Links to external services and vendors that include a unique identifier within the link destination to tie the link to your account.

I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do falls in that definition?? Both my sites are wordpress sites. My wordpress.org site will offer customers to buy my creations (cards) or buy materials to make their own cards. It does have an element of buying something that I made but instead of directing them to my etsy site its to my own store site. With the addition of other products not made by myself.

Thanks for your clarification!

You can control the display of the ads and turn them on/off via Settings -> WordAds in your blog's Dashboard.
