  You can’t unless you are preapred to see your blog get suspended. There is only one advertising program called WordAds at WordPress.com and it’s for blogs on their own domains. This is the homepage for the WordAds program: http://www.wordads.co/ There you will find the application page as well as FAQs.

  Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of that, but it definitely explains why I couldn’t figure it out!
