Do you need a custom domain in order to use WordAd?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, and your site has to attract enough traffic to qualify for WordAds acceptance.
No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.

Hi there,
Yes, you will need a custom domain. Per the WordAds site here, it is a necessary component.
Q: Why do I need a custom domain name?
A: We are unable to provide WordAds for blogs with the default free [example].wordpress.com URL, so you’ll need to either register a new domain name or map an existing domain name to your WordPress.com blog of choice.
Additionally, you have to qualify for Word Ads by having an adequate amount of traffic.
Eligibility
Q: I applied to WordAds. When will it be available to me?
A: Our advertisers do have a minimum traffic requirement. Once you reach that, your application will be automatically sent to them for evaluation.
Q: What is the minimum traffic requirement?
A: We cannot reveal the exact minimum publicly, but a site generally needs thousands of page views each month to earn meaningful revenue.
Q: Why do I need a custom domain name?
A: We are unable to provide WordAds for blogs with the default free [example].wordpress.com URL, so you’ll need to either register a new domain name or map an existing domain name to your WordPress.com blog of choice.
I hope that helps. Thank you so much!
