Affiliate link
-
There is no image and text when I build an affiliate link to a specific page from Amazon. I have Premium plan. Is that problem?

re: Amazon affiliate links
We can use text links only. http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
1. WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.
2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
Bloggers at WordPress.com with their own books on Amazon can use a plain HTML affiliate link code from Amazon and then used that to link an image (book cover or Buy at Amazon button). See here https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/ and note “Custom URL” to link to your book’s cover.
Affiliate marketing banners and any and all advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com are not allowed. No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.

I have seen a lot of conflicting information about the use of Amazon affiliate links on WordPress.com. I run a blog that focuses on whisky and restaurant reviews and on cooking. I’ve recently set up a “Recommended Reading” page with affiliate links to books that can be purchased on Amazon. The language on this WordPress page suggests that this is within the rules:
“Most affiliate links and sponsored posts from reputable merchants are allowed on WordPress.com, as long as your blog’s primary purpose is to create original content, and not merely to send traffic to these sites.”
My blog’s content is entirely original and even the books I am recommending are related to the primary purpose of my site. Accordingly, my interpretation is that I am not in violation of any rules. But I want to be sure–I certainly don’t want my blog to be suspended. Can anyone clarify the situation for me?
