  Is this the blog you are talking about http://inthegoodolddays.wordpress.com/ ? Affiliate advertising – and most all types of advertising is not allowed here at wordpress.COM.

  At wordpress.com you can only use text or images as “product links” and the post where you use them should be a personal review of the product, otherwise it counts as affiliate advertising, which is not allowed. It kind of limits the scope of being an amazon affiliate, but I’m still ok with that for my blog.

  Hi guys! Can somebody please tell me how I put a free visits counter on my weblog? And which one do you suggest? I already tried the sitemeter and now the go stats but some how is not working, I don’t know why. :-(
  Thanks a lot!

  Not a problem. You also already have a free hits counter as part of the blog stats system here at wordpress. Go to appearance > widgets and add the “blog stats” widget to your sidebar.

  Thank you so much. It won’t “take” because it is not allowed!

  That is correct. Adding any other links or banners than pure HTML text links or image links will not work, because wordpress.com automatically strips out the code. The easiest way to add an amazon link is to sign in to your amazon affiliate account, then go to amazon and find the product you are reviewing and want to link to, and then use the “link to this page”-function in the amazon affiliate navigation bar. Mind you, you can only do image only or text only links.
