Just a quick note to let you know that the adverts that appear in my blog are not my doing, they are added by WordPress. To remove them I have to pay $30 a year. One reader has let me know how annoying they are, and to be honest I find them horrible too.
Can you reply in the comments and let me know your views please.
UPDATE – I’ve just paid WordPress $30 to remove the ads. Everything should look a lot better now. If you still see them let me know.

I get so used to seeing them they do not bother me any more, Some use ad blocking services. I think it is reasonable when wordpress is free.

Thanks Jon. It’s odd but on the full size iPad , iPad Mini and iPhone 5 the adverts do not show up. On anything else they are visible.

I only seem to really see them when I view the posts on mobile. But they are large! Can’t miss them. That said, they don’t particularly bother me. Same issue with my blog. I haven’t paid for a pro account on WordPress because I don’t blog enough nor have a large enough readership to make it worth paying, the admittedly low, $30 price tag. However in your case, if you plan on continuing to write as much as you have and to attract a larger audience, the fee would probably be worth it.

Thanks Donald. As I said above I’ve only ever seen them on my mac. Never on any iDevices. I don’t like them at all. Definitely looking at options but it does keep WordPress free.

I may not see them on my MBA because I’m logged into my WordPress account automatically when I view your blog. On my mobile devices, I’m not logged in. But glad you decided to pay the minimal fee to get rid of them. It removes a turnoff for new readers.

I only had seen one today for the first time. As I am always using their iPad app I’ve never seen them. I must admit I was horrified by the weight loss advert. Didn’t appeal to me at all. WordPress will take that amount automatically every year now. Now keeps the blog professional and appealing.

I can’t say I’d noticed them tbh, but equally, I can’t remember which of my devices I’ve visited your blog on either!

It was me that moaned, and it was that horrible con of a weight loss ad that bothered me. And I will repeat my offer, am happy to pay half the cost with you, or bung in a few quid a year to help.

Very kind offer. But no need. To be honest I had never seen the ads until you mentioned it and then I had a look at blog without using the WordPress app. I didn’t like the weight loss ad either.
