  Yes, before start here you should follow the rules of wordpress.

  Here is TOS: http://wordpress.com/tos/

  This is user guideline: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/

  The affiliate link can be use in self hosted wordpress site.

  @ dashingdidu thanks for your comment, so I want to know, is that the reason they have blocked my accounts?

  I’m not sure. if they think that is spam they could block you.
  To refer some kind of download website.
  To refer some kind of website to buy. Affiliate is some kind of Advertising. I think that is the reason you get suspended.

  WordPress support other website advertising only on Enterprise Users or VIP users. Otherwise you could use WordAds by upgrading.

  Howdy dashingdidu!

  Generally speaking a suspended blog indicates that you have violated something about the WordPress.com Terms of Service. You won’t be able to get any specific information about this on the forums though, for security/privacy reasons. You will need to follow the procedures outlined in this support document for assistance: https://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/

  Hope this helps!

  WordPress: I’ve been posting a recap of a television show everyday for over 3 years with photos and video links to each segment and now today Sunday I’ve been suspended and I don’t understand why? I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ll my links are used and have been approved by the show. So why? If this is not corrected by tomorrow (Monday) I will leave and take my business elsewhere. You can see by the number of post that it’s a daily thing for https://norcalnews.wordpress.com
