banners for supporters – no commercial exchange
-
Hello,
firstmontrose.wordpress.com is a “beta” web site that I am working on for our civic group, First Montrose Commons Civic Association. Our civic group has some local supporters that help us pay for our newsletter and other fees. We would like to provide banner ads for our small local supporters so that our our neighborhood is aware of our supporters. We do not have any intention of selling anything from our civic assn web site but we wish to use these banner ads to show our appreciation to our supporters for their generosity.
Is this ok? This seems different to me from those web sites that are used to make money from letting, say, google advertise their. we would not earn any money from these small businesses if people click on their web site. These local businesses and agencies generously make a small donation to help us do our work.
I you agree that this would not violate wordpress.com rules, please let me know. (Any suggestions on how to set up these banners (links to web sites) appreciated.)
Thanks, emchorush.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Read what I posted very carefully. You have a free blog with many free features and free hosting so you don’t need any donations because you have blogging expenses.

yes. The expenses have nothing to do with the web site. We also publish a hard copy newsletter that is delivered around the neighborhood – those have printing costs. And we have occasional meet and greet :)
I have removed anything that would have any possibility of being against the policy of wordpress
And I have shared your links with another board member.
I appreciate what you are saying and thank you very much for these explanations.
No comercial association whatsoever!!!!
Thank you. -

thanks very much.
It’s been a lot of fun learning about how to set up a web site. WordPress.com is a phenomenal addition to open source communication. I appreciate that, very very much.
I will advise our board that if they wish to have banner ads they must self host – or use one of word press’s recommended hosts.I think I’ve gone as far as I can go in this endeavor and it’s been great!!!
Thank you.
