  That’s NOT possible on any wordpress.COM hosted site.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes on blogs hosted by WordPress.COM like yours.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#uploading-custom-themes

  You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs with WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting.

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  re: wordpress.com hosted blogs and advertising

  No blogger initiated advertising for driving traffic to third party sites is allowed here on wordpress.COM hosted blogs. PPC is not allowed. Affiliate marketing banners and any and all advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com are not allowed.

  The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/

  Here’s what gets a blog suspended:

  re: affiliate links on wordpress.COM hosted blogs
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/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.

  hi

  thank you for all the informations.

  we don’t use a free account. we have a payed premium-account hosted by wordpress.com (eur 99.00/year). i do already have an affiliate link running on my blog.

  wordpress.com offers the “affilinet plugin”. our cr manager has it running on his personal blog. but i don’t know how i can use it too.

  we are planning to recreate our business-Website also with worpress.

  i really don’t think that there are any restrictions concerning Content on the premium- and the business-solution.

  Everything that @Timethief says above still applies to your account – having the Premium account changes nothing

  Hi there. Thanks for providing that clarity. I tagged this thread with modlook for Staff to take a look at the blog because I read this above:

  i do already have an affiliate link running on my blog.

  Morning @TT – they actually have display ads running – they really need to read the links you left

  @malicksloum:

  Please review the replies left by timethief. They’ll provide you with the context.

  wordpress.com offers the “affilinet plugin”. our cr manager has it running on his personal blog. but i don’t know how i can use it too.

  This isn’t accurate. There is a plugin by that name, but it’s for the self-hosted version of WordPress. It’s not for sites hosted at WordPress.com, like yours.

  Can you tell me what exactly you’re looking to do with that plugin? Maybe there’s an alternative without using a plugin.
