  Hi there,

  You can use a text widget to add the code for your amazon image/link.

  As a reminder, although users are not allowed to place banner ads on their blogs. an image with an Amazon affiliate link is perfectly fine.

  We do not allow sites whose primary purpose is to drive traffic to external affiliate links or who promote their site or affiliate links through comment and forum spam. So, if we see a site with poor quality content and a whole bunch of Amazon affiliate images, for example, that would be considered spam – which is against our Terms of Service.

  Users can monetize their blog using affiliate text links, but we do not allow affiliate links to the following types of sites:

  • “Get Rich Quick”/Work from Home
  • Multi-level marketing (MLM)
  • Gambling
  • Pornography
  • Disreputable merchants and affiliate networks (ex. Clickbank)

  Thanks!
