  I copy the code on Amazon for ads and I’ve tried text and image but when I save, the code disappears.

  Thank you for doing that.

  However, I’m sorry to say that embed code will not work because do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com for security reasons including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags. These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code.

  Thank you for your time. Are any ads allowed if I wanted to allow them on my blog?
