  No. WordPress.com blogs cannot be used to drive traffic to 3rd party sites and that’s what affiliate linking schemes are designed to do. When you agreed to thet Terms of Service here this was clarified in section 2, 5th bullet http://wordpress.com/tos/
  Please also read this FAQs reference carefully http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/

  Thanks for the reply,but I am still not clear.
  If I represent Orbitz as an example,which I am not, and I am an affiliate of theirs, can I promote their site with a link to them?

  Is selling various items permitted?

  No selling items. Non commercial activity on wordpress.com blogs. If you want to sell items, get another host, download the software from wordpress.org and install on your new host. We don’t have any commercial activity on wordpress.com except the VIP packages which are around $300 USD a month or so. Sorry ;)

  Do you have a WordPress blog because the blog linked to your name is a Blogger blog?
