  I own the domain for my website, mommiesdrink.com, and I know, and adhere to, the policy of not placing third party ads on my site. I would like to know, though, if I can post giveaways and contests?

  Thanks!

  Hey Jennifer!

  Yep – you can definitely have giveaways and contests on your WordPress.com site. We even provide a breakdown of how to do that here:

  Provided the main goal of your site is to create awesome, unique content, those shouldn’t be a problem! The issue arises if the main goal of the blog becomes spammy as described here:
