Affiliate link for an honest review?

May I put an affiliate link in the body of a blogpost?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hmm. Still no comments. Any insight on posting an affiliate link on a WordPress.com site? I am giving an honest review of a product–if it’s good, I say so, if not, I say that too.

Hi there. It’s not okay to use affiliate links in lists or catalogs, but if you are writing original reviews, then it’s fine. You can see the official policy on affiliate links here: http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

Thanks for the response Jen! Just one more question: I am reviewing wine (and giving honest opinions) once a month for a wine club. It sounds like I can include affiliate links in the review (and I notified readers that they were such), but can I include a link in a widget? I put one up and then it disappeared (I assume it was taken down).
Thanks!

No, just in the actual review, since that’s considered original content. Putting links in widgets like that is explicitly forbidden in the terms.
