Why are random YouTube ads showing up on my posts?

  1. There are random YouTube ads showing on my posts. I didn't put them there and I can't see them (having looked at the page on 2 separate computers and using all 3 browsers). Some of my readers can see them but not all. In fact, one reader saw it and then when she went back 5 minutes later, didn't see the ad! Is anybody else having this problem? What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks, Susan

    The blog I need help with is worcestercommissionforwomen.wordpress.com.

  2. WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. Many bloggers do not know this because despite the fact they ticked the box required to get a free blog, they did not read the ToS. Many also do not read features page, or advertising entry in the support documents after registering their username and blog(s). Also note that as the ads do not display to us when we are logged in, and as many use browsers with ad blockers when logged out, they may not realize they are there at all. The only way to get rid of all advertising on our free hosted WordPress.com blogs is to purchase an annually renewable No-Ads upgrade.

  3. Thank you!!
