  If I post about a product, is it OK to add a link to the product as part of the Amazon.com Affiliate program?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Occasional text links are okay but you cannot publish post after post designed to drive traffic to any third party site. Thos kind of blogs are not allowed here.

  You will have to use plain text links only.

  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.

  You will also want to read types of blogs that are not allowed https://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  Book tour blogs: Blogs that consist primarily of pre-written publicity material, as opposed to original book reviews, for the purpose of promoting books and driving traffic to other promotional and giveaway sites.
