For a couple of years, WordPress.com have very occasionally inserted Google AdWords advertisements into the posts on blogs hosted on wordpress.com.
As of today, WordPress have announced that this blog and all other blogs hosted on WordPress.com will have these adverts inserted into them - unless we pay WordPress.com NOT to!
Obviously, there is a lot of talk among my fellow bloggers, that its likely there will be a lot more of these low-class ads inserted into blogs; so that they become a big enough pain in the ass for people to pay to have them removed!
I have no issue with this - however, these adverts are NOT endorsed by me!
Also, I have no say or control over what advertisements WordPress.com decide to show - In fact, I won’t even be able to see them!
WordPress.com is a free service and has to support itself somehow. On my main blog http://jimsmarketingblog.com I have paid them their ‘ransom’ and had all advertising stripped from it. If you don’t want to see those horrible adword advertisements here, let me know and I will get them removed.
Let me know what you think!

How do you know when and where they are on your blog? Would I go to my blog on another computer and not be signed in to truly see what others see? Are the ads on the sidebar? I am trying to decide if I want to move to Blogger, it seems to have more detailed options there
