  Hi there,

  WordPress.com will strip out certain custom code for security reasons, like iframes and javascript.

  For more info, please see:

  Add Code to Your Site

  Afaik, the “text & image” affiliate code for Amazon uses iframes, which would be stripped out.

  But there might be a workaround.

  In your Amazon associates account, copy the text version of the affiliate link , like http://amzn.to/2oYXkmG

  Then add an image to a page or post using the standard method, and set that image to link to Amazon via the link you copied from your associates account.

  I’ve tried this on a test site. It appears to work:
