  Hello. Recently it has been suggested to me that I should run ads on my blog. However, it doesn’t seem that I can do so on a .wordpress.com site. Therefore, I am considering buying a domain name and transferring my blog to that site. However, if I do so, can I still still use the wordpress format on this new site? Can you tell me how I could do this sort of thing?

  Thanks!

  Hi there, we do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about at http://wordads.co/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this link to learn about the differences:

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested:

  Just let me know if you have any other questions.
