I have just started using Jekyll Bootstrap to blog related to my GitHub projects. I would like to have a feedback option, so I kept the default Disqus enabled. Unfortunately that pastes nasty "Around The Web" and "Also on jekyll-bootstrap" sections below my posts, the former apparently filled with unrelated sponsored links. I have a very strong hygiene when it comes to keeping my content spam free.

Can I remove the advertisement which seems from the Diqus script somehow? If not, are there other alternatives of adding a commenting function without advertisement?

  1. Log in to Disqus.

  2. Select Admin.

  3. Select the Settings tab.

  4. Select the Discovery tab.

  5. Change the Discovery level to "Just Comments".

  • Ok, I did that, also changed `short_name` in `_config.yml` to my newly registered Disqus account. Even though I deactivated "Discovery: Show links..." and saved my settings, nothing seems to change on the site, the sponsored links are still there. The links disappear when I run `jekyll server` locally, but not when I push to GitHub pages and refresh the remove site. – 0__ Oct 24 '13 at 21:52
  • It seems it took just some time to adjust. The links are gone now. Thanks! – 0__ Oct 24 '13 at 21:54

    We're soon changing this layout, FYI. Instead of the "Discovery" tab you'll need to go to the "Ads" tab and then uncheck "Enable Promoted Discovery" – Ryan V Oct 25 '13 at 18:41
