    Hey all

    Some ads are appearing on the bottom of my website at www.studentstech.com which I dont know how they get there.
    I have disabled all of my addons and they were still there. I have asked bluehost which hosts me and they said that they dont put ads.
    What shall I do? How can I find out how they got there?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Maybe the Wordpress theme that you are using has the ads in it. Try using a different theme. Free themes usually have some sponsor links in the footer.

    May be you have solved it out. you have added "recommended" as a title over the google link ads.
    i think that this is against their policy. Because in this case you are encouraging users to go their.

    ouch - the theme you're using probably has ads that the developer has put in. you'll need to edit the footer files to remove it. it could be encoded too, so might not be obvious to find.
