    Please, I just want to know, in what way it is possible to show ads (aquired via direct marketing etc. ) on my wordpress side? Is ist possible on the basiv version? Or only on the pro version?
    Or is it generally forbidden? In the social networks there are so many recommendations of software to use for ads on wordpress.

    Thank you very much.

    Kind regards,

    Guido

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

    First, you need to know that there are several flavors of WordPress, and each is different, with various restrictions or not.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Upgrading with the “pro bundle” on wp.COM will not allow you to use adverts on your free-hosted site. The bundle does not pay for independent hosting. You are still hosted on wp.COM and must obey the Terms of Service.

    The Pro Bundle includes domain mapping. But read this carefully:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

    Advertising: While a blog must have a mapped domain in order to qualify for WordAds, the Domain Mapping Upgrade does not otherwise permit advertising on your blog.
    Same Terms of Service: The Domain Mapping Upgrade does not permit the use of any kind of prohibited code or upload additional themes or plugins. With the upgrade, your blog will still be hosted here at WordPress.com, which means that you will not have FTP access to your files and you will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service.

    Here is a link to the Terms of Service:
