  Dear all.
  I run a blog called Sir Robert’s Stories in wordpress.com, in which I publish erotic stories: http://sirrobertstories.wordpress.com/
  With each story I publish, I usually recommend related content in other websites. You might found that at the bottom of my posts. Most of those are related stories in other blogs or webs, but it might also be a book, a movie, … By now I have never intended to earn any money with those recommendations, but just give my readers references to other good content they may enjoy. My question is: may I place Amazon product links on my blog to point the readers of the stories to related content there? My intention could be to put at most one such link in each post.

  Thank you so much.

  Thank you so much for your response but let me clarify a point, I think I may have not clearly stated that “Amazon product links” is a product of the Amazon Associates Affiliation Program. Thus, as a result of publishing those links -at most one such link in each post- I could eventually obtain some money. Is the answer still a yes?

  Also, I would like to know if I can consider this answer to be the official position of WP or if it is just your opinion on the matter. If it is the former, is that position towards Affiliation Programs stated in any page? Could you please post a link to that page?

  Than you again. :-)

  While we do not allow most affiliate links, we do make an exception to allow a moderate number of links to Amazon.com, in conjunction with original book/product reviews or similar usage. However, you cannot create a site that serves as an Amazon.com affiliate storefront, nor can you link to most other affiliate sites.
