  Hi, I’d like to have the amazon-link plugin added to the wordpress.com sites to be able to directly link to publications I recommend.

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

  That’s not going to happen.

  re: affiliate links see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

  We allow affiliate links on WordPress.com, including from Amazon.com, but you will not be able to use the Amazon widget on a WordPress.com site. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/amazon-widget-9?replies=3#post-1882814

  Posting of some affiliate links is possible, provided the blog is an actual blog and not just a storefront. Please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.

  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 widgets, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
