  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  I’m not sure exactly what you mean here – do you have an example of what it is you’re trying to do please?

  Said that “You can add affiliate links to your WordPress.com content as long as the primary purpose of your blog is to create original content” and you do not allow sites that exist primarily to drive traffic to affiliate links.
  So I am asking if I wrote a post about a recipe and added some affiliate link (e.g an amazon link) to the equipment used in that recipe (let’s say a blender)
  Is that allwed

  Hi @gaulpenelope, our forums staff is separate from the team that enforces those guidelines, so I can’t make a guarantee here. But typically, your recipes would be the original content, and the primary reason people would visit your site is to enjoy that recipe. Hoping that helps!
