Can a blogger post ads in the free blogs or just the hosted blogs
-
the topic title says it all. I was going to start a blog years ago but the subject didn’t interest me enough. At the time I was going back and forth as weather I was going to start a blog or not. At the time I was told only hosted sites could could place ads. I was wondering if that was still true. Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you read more about at http://wordads.co/
Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:
http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.
Please see this link to learn about the differences:

If your goal is to blog in order to make ad revenue, please allow me to destroy your dreams now. Most blogs which are set up for the purpose actually lose money. If you’re a compelling writer, a terrific photographer, and a solid social media marketer, you can succeed. Starting from zero, with zero practice, it’s unlikely you can even get approved for most ad programs.
