  I’m new using wordpress.com, I have a free account blog, but I want to be sure before move to a paid plan if I can use adsense.

  I read that in a free account I’m no able to use adsense, but what about paid accounts?

  Best Regards,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  re: wordpress.com hosted blogs and advertising

  No blogger initiated advertising for driving traffic to third party sites is allowed here on wordpress.COM hosted blogs. PPC is not allowed. Affiliate marketing banners and any and all advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com are not allowed.

  The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.

  Here’s what gets a blog suspended:

  eCommerce is not possible on a wordpress.COM hosted blog unless you have a Business upgrade for $299. per year in US funds. See here:
  http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  Otherwise, provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide you have two options.

  (1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  (2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.
