Building an affiliate website
-
Hi
I will build a travel affiliate website, consisting of booking.com(for hotel search), dohop(for flight search) and rentalcars(car search) affiliations. What I want to know that if I can combine these searches in my wordpress website? I mean I want visitors bundle and search all these three(flight+hotel+car) so that the website shall be timesaving and handy. Could that be possible in ease or should I write codes for that?

Hi there,
That kind of searching is not possible on WordPress.com sites, and we also don’t allow sites which has the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate sites.
If you set up a self-hosted site instead you’ll be able to use affiliate links in this way, and you should be able to add that search functionality with a plugin.
You can see this page for more information on WordPress hosting:

Hi
Thank you for your response. I actually made an agreement with an agency to build an affiliate website, they said me that the website will be developed in wordpress. My domain name and hosting will be on godaddy.com, so I won’t be using wordpress’ free choice and its extension.
Would not that be possible to put a search box on the website anyways?
Thanks a lot -
Let me explain myself as clear as possible:
My aim is to build a travel affiliate website where visitors search hotels+cars+flights.
I got my domain name and hosting from godaddy.com
I will start using WordPress Business Package so that I can remove wordpress branding on my website and use Google Analytics
The question is that I want to put these search boxes/plugins/iframes etc ( Idk its names). Does WordPress have a feature to do it or does it let me do?
Kind Regards -

In that case you will be using the self-hosted WordPress.org software. That is entirely separate from WordPress.com, and our upgrades don’t apply to self-hosted sites.
What you need to do is install WordPress at your GoDaddy hosting. Then you can get all the functionality you need there by installing the appropriate plugins. For help with finding and installing plugins, please post in the self-hosted forums, here:
