Adding Amazon HTML Codes to my blog
-
I am trying to add amazon affiliate html code to my blog:
http://xplornindia.wordpress.com/
I can see a link of amazon on my footer widget but I can not see any photos from amazon site.
How can i make the photos visible on my site?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It could be that the code provided by Amazon is not allowed on WordPress.com, in which case it is automatically stripped out. (See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/) You are also not allowed to add any banner ads. You’ll only be able to link directly from images or text within posts, pages and text or image widgets.
You can insert the image into posts using the image URL from Amazon or by downloading the image and uploading it to your media library, and then add the affiliate link URL for that product under the image options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/
Just make sure that your affiliate marketing adheres to WordPress.com’s conditions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

You are going to have to take the Amazon link out of your footer; it is not allowed in widget areas or footer areas. You can ONLY use text links in the content of your posts, and only the plain HTML links.
You cannot use photo links from Amazon.

Thanks for clarifying. I just want to make sure that I also understand correctly: let’s say I do a book review and I post an image of the book cover in the review, I’m not allowed to use the affiliate link to the Amazon page from that image, only from the text of the review itself? -
Well, I have done it but the staff have said that image links are NOT allowed. You can link from a word in the caption though, since that’s text.
If you WRITE a book, you can of course use the image of the cover as an affiliate link (but you’d be smarter to sell directly yourself rather than take 6% or whatever from Amazon).

What is plain HTML? How do I get it from Amazon?

After going through many topics on word press, what i understand till now about advertising of amazon links and adsense on wordpress site is not possible.
Somebody in a topic recommend to move from wordpress.COM to wordpress.ORG. What is the procedure for moving? wordpress.org is paid or free service as wordpress.COM

I am basically l making a blog for monetizing from amazon and adsense etc, so I suppose wordpress.com is not the right choice for me as in Aamazon I can only posts links and not images, therefore I am planing to shift to wordpress.org. What is the procedure for this?
-
WordPress.com is not the right choice for you. The right choice is to get hosting elsewhere, install software from WordPress.ORG, and then blog away. You can transfer your contents via this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
You can even, if you already have a lot of readers, buy a redirect upgrade that sends them all to the new blog.
