  I think I read somewhere I can put amazon affiliate links on my blog when I dont have my own domain, but only on one in ten posts. Just wanted to make sure it’s true.

  Can I put amazon affiliate links on my worpress.com without my own domain? Can it only be one in ten? Can you clarify it for me please?

  Thank you

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

  You can have affiliate links within the guidelines mentioned in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

  You can place affiliate links in more than ten posts so long as the primary purpose of you site is not to drive traffic to your affiliates.

  Hi there. You can use Amazon Affiliate links with a free domain, yes. I’ve never heard of the one-in-ten thing, though. The only rules are your blog should not exist for the sole purpose of posting affiliate links (i.e. links posted must be relevant to your content, for example if you post a book review you can include a link to the book’s Amazon page) and we’re only allowed to use text links, not image links or banners, as those are considered advertising (i.e. you can add the link to the book’s title, but not to the image of the book cover).

  Here is the relevant support doc: http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
