Some people might question my integrity on this post but let me clarify. I was offered a free hosting ticket (free when I buy a domain name) by Godaddy with no mention of ads being added to my site, I only saw the ads after I installed a wordpress blog in my new free hosting. The ads have not ben removed, they still load and will still count as viewed on their stats, they are just hidden. Anyway if you want to hide your ads on a Godaddy free hosting..here is how you do it.
Add the following line to your CSS file #conash3D0 {height:0px; top:-1px;} - if this does not work just find the id of the iframe that loads the ads. (in my case the id is “conash3D0″)
Finding the ID
- View the page’s source code (right-click / view source code)
- scroll to the bottom of the source code and you should find a script calling the file https://a12.alphagodaddy.com/hosting_ads/gd01.js or something similar.
- copy the .js file address to your address bar and you shoud be able to see the js code
- look for the text iframe id=
- after the = is the name (id) of that frame
Disclaimer: Do it according to your own conscience. Don’t blame me for any trouble you may have with the host.

Provided that you have access to edit your CSS, this should work fine with any system.
