  For that you will have to hire a web host and set up your own wordpress.ORG software install because blogger initiated third party advertising is not allowed here.

  Please read: Monetize Your Site https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/

  The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains that have enough traffic to qualify for acceptance into the plan.

  WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins. However, if you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install advertising, plugins, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com

  For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  Thanks.
  What I have understood from your reply is
  1. First I have to register on wordpress.com
  2. I have to book a domain.
  3. I have to buy wordpress supported hosting.
  4. I can make my blog with the help of wordpress.org.
  5. Then I can place google adds on my blog.
  Am I right?

  @vastumentor

  You have two different options:

  WordPress.com Hosted Site
  1. You can sign up for a WordPress.com account and purchase the Premium or Business account (see details at https://wordpress.com/pricing/)
  2. With the Premium or Business account, you can apply to monetize your site using WordAds, as @timethief mentioned above. These ads are not the same as Google Ads, but they are a way to make money with ads on your site.
  3. Here’s some details on WordAds: http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/ and https://wordads.co/faq/

  OR

  Self-Hosted WordPress site
  1. Purchase hosting and a domain name from a number of website hosting companies
  2. Install WordPress and build your site (you can ask for help at https://wordpress.org/support/)
  3. Add Google Ads to your site

  Hope this helps!
