  I want to add two text links but are affiliates the two links are in interest to people who have interest in my blog. But i just wanted to check that you are allowed you do it? They would go in the sidebar somewhere.

  If they are not allowed can i add them without the affilaite code instead then?

  Thanks.

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

  Don’t assume. If you write original book reviews (not copied and pasted from somewhere else) then you are allowed to link to those books at Amazon. Other than that, no affiliate links.

  Read this: http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  And contact support. If you don’t, and what you are doing is not allowed then your blog will be deleted.

  Trading affiliate links will I’m certain be a dead NO. But do check with staff.
