I am upset that my blog (which appeals largely to a Christian audience) is sporting a vodka ad! I don't know what to do - is there a way I can say what kind of ads are acceptable/unacceptable to my audience?
The blog I need help with is 12ozofhope.wordpress.com.
To support the service (and keep free features free), we sometimes run advertisements, and the agreement for this has been in our terms of service since 2006.
We try hard to only run them in limited places, but there are no content-specific ad controls. If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/
If you write about recovering from alcoholism you will see ads for spirits, just like blogs writing about recovering from mental illness will eventually showcase ads for $cientology. Look at it as WordPress' fun way of bringing opposites together.
Well, not necessarily that, but the ads are somewhat contextual. So, if you write about alcohol in any form, you might see ads for alcohol.

We've been discussing this for a while.
I think the accepted solution, and the cheapest thing to do, is to put a simple disclaimer in your sidebar. I have one in my sidebar you can use until you make your own, but text works as well as an image:

Thanks everyone! I like the disclaimer on the sidebar idea - I think I'll give that a try.
I simply purchased a No-Ads Upgrade so I never have to fret about this.
