Amazon Ads
-
Please include the ability to insert amazon ads. Although they use javascript, I can think of the php code to make sure they are secure and not harmful myself. Please allow them. Possibly an ‘ads’ widget. and a selection for the type of ad. It doesn’t seem to be too hard and I doubt it can hurt wordpress.

Last I checked we can have one discreet text link from Amazon. They have text links with the code in the control panel at Amazon.

As I understand it you can link a book or something like that, but it cannot be an affiliate link.
-
No, it’s murky again. I don’t use my affiliate code when I link to Amazon, just to be safe.
Staff have said unequivocally that if YOU, the blogger, write a book, you may sell it on your site via Amazon.
And yes, javascript can indeed harm wordpress. Javascript took all of Blogger down, and I think also Myspace at least once. Of course, if there’s anything on Myspace OTHER than javascript, I’ve yet to find it.
If you do a forum search for “Shared blogging platform” you’ll probably find out the details of why security is much tighter here than at other blogging platforms. A security issue would put everyone at risk, not just one blog.

Can I at least display the content of another html page? iframe doesn’t work, is there any way to simulate that?
-
Probably best is you email support and ask if it’s okay > > support@wordpress.com
Or check support in the morning to see if it’s opened.

You can’t display the content of another HTML page without copying the HTML. And if it’s an ad, your blog will probably be taken down. If you want to advertise or do affiliate linkage, contact support directly and tell them what you want to do in detail. We had three blogs suspended/deleted the other day over this issue.

From here: http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
“people writing original book or movie reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy [aren’t considered affiliate marketing blogs]”
In other words: if you have a real blog that’s not spam, Amazon affiliate links are fine in the context of an original review or related post you’ve written yourself.
Copying other people’s reviews doesn’t count. Having eight hundred blogs doesn’t count. A one liner post with eight hundred affiliate links doesn’t count. Make money fast stuff doesn’t count. Sorry to be so negative, but such is the world the spammers have shaped.
