Dear Followers
Sad to say but I will terminate this blogsite soon.
I am very disappointed in WordPress that now has started putting ads on my site without my consent and/or without consulting me as the user and their paying client.
WordPress stated that they are now running ads to cover the costs for operating my site. Why am I then paying an annual fee to WordPress?
I was never informed that my site became part of their ‘WordAds program’. I was never informed that I should purchase a ‘No Ads upgrade’ at an additional cost($30) that is more than my annual fee. Why am I not benefitting from the claim from WordPress that ‘I elected to show ads to earn money from my site’. Bullshit – where is the money going to???
I initially chose WordPress because of their clean, beautiful and professional approach. This has unfortunately changed now for the worse.
I have lost a vast amount of followers and views as a result of annoying ads spoiling my followers’ visits to my blog.
There are so many internet scams doing the rounds now that I am considering this as one from WordPress.
Unless WordPress can come up with a proper answer, this site will be terminated.
Below are excerpts from WordPress why they have decided to put ads on my blog:
1. The site is part of the WordAds program and has elected to show ads to earn money from their site.
2. The site is one of the sites hosted on WordPress.com that has not purchased the No Ads upgrade, and we are running ads to cover the costs of operating the site for the user. We run these types of ads sparingly in an attempt to interfere as little as possible with the experience of reading a site. There’s more info about our approach to ad serving in this blog post.
3. If you are a WordPress.com user and you would like to permanently remove all ads from your site, please take a look at our No Ads upgrade.
What you’ll get with this upgrade
• Hide all our ads on your site. To keep our free features free, we sometimes show ads on your blog. This upgrade makes sure that no one sees ads on your blog.
• Ads are automatically disabled on your site as long as this upgrade is active. No other settings required.
No Ads. Keep your blog clean, beautiful and professional.
