  okay, i know i can’t use a google adsense account on wordpress(.com) blogs, because they have wordads. but that’s not exactly my question.

  my question is this: if i have a ‘monetized’ video on youtube that has ads… what is the policy on those? would they be disallowed? is the ad code disabled for embeds, or… what’s the deal?

  i don’t want to violate any of wordpress’ terms; i want to be sure i do things properly.

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

  That’s totally allowed, because the ad is actually on YouTube’s end and simply appears in the embedded video.
