Advertising on Word Press
-
Do I now understand advertising is not allowed? Example, an ad for itunes, Office Depot. Not allowed. I recently moved from Blogger. I am disappointed I had to pay to use my own domain name (and even then the www is left out) and now no advertising allowed. And paying extra for CSS. And on and on. There are some benefits, but they are slowly beng outweighed here.
-
Advertising for profit is not allowed here. You alone can make the decision as to whether or not this is a deal-breaker.
-
Yes, it would appear to be a deal-breaker. I didn’t cancel my Blogger account and switched back my “domain mapping” (I’m out ten bucks, oh well). I’ll keep this blog alive in case you enlighten your policy.

This seems to be kind of a touchy subject. I am setting up a blog, and didn’t realize advertising would be an issue. It appears that some advertising is allowed, such as if I wrote a book, I could advertise that. But what about these:
I have a cafepress store, and I teach sketching and drawing classes. I would like to use my blog to promote both of these, and yes, I will (hopefully) be making money from them. Is this allowed without going the VIP route?
Am I also correct that only one link to a website is allowed?
Thanks!

Have patience. It is on it’s Way. It will be permitted but we don’t know when. But it has been announced, that it is on it’s way.

Things take time…

My advice? It’s impossible to guess. Contact staff directly and ask, with a pointer to exactly what you want to post.

Thanks, universalgeni,
I don’t want to use Google adsense, I just want to promote my own classes and my own cafepress store. I’m guessing that will not be allowed.

Case in point: I thought that posting the courses I teach in blogging was totally not allowed. I asked, and apparently that was actually fine. But it’s really staff’s call. Shoot them a message from the Support button on your Dashboard Monday and in the mean time don’t take any chances with the blog. They’re much more supportive of people whose blogs contain real blog posts, not just “here, buy this” as opposed to paid advertising or catalogue blogs.

Just when you think there would be no new twist on the advertising issue, you see the imaginative tag: pire-in-the-fucking-sky.

For a premium blog, I need a lot of time, it needs money, and for this reason I have to put ads, and not adsense. Wake up Word Press team.
I have found Word Press a great opportunity , but this is the reason for what I will look elsewhere. -
I’m so disappointed that ads are not allowed in wordpress. I find WordPress to be a very respectable domain and feel that I can promote wordpress through advertising at a local level. How can we reach an agreement to allow advertising?
-
You have to be kidding! ok somebody tell me what blog sites do allow advertising. Mine does have content but yes I did want to work an affiliate program. Guess I will have to go elsewhere.

If you’re accepted into the VIP program, like the NY Times and CNN. You have as many hits as they do, right?
