  Hello all,

  I placed an Amazon banner HTML into my WordPress blog but instead of the banner showing up, the HTML code shows up to be clicked into the banner on a separate webpage. Can anybody assist on how to correct that issue? Thank you.

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

  Hi,

  Unfortunately, images (such as banners) are not allowed to be used here at WordPress.com. Please read this article for more information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/#affiliate

  Hope this helps

  Thanks for your response! But in the link you provided, it specifically said that we can post affiliate links and images. So it is allowed. But why won’t my HTML code translate into a banner when I publish it?

  Hi,

  Since I don’t have access to your site for troubleshooting, I am adding the tag “modlook” to this thread. This will alert staff so that they can assist you.

  Hope this gets resolved

  Hello,

  As thabotswana2013 mentioned, ads from third-parties are not allowed on WordPress.com. This includes Amazon banner ads.

  If you’d like to run these types of ads on your blog, you may want to set up a self hosted WordPress.org site instead:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  WordAds is the official WordPress.com advertising program available for WordPress.com site — you can earn money by displaying ads on your site:

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
