  Hi, I would like to start displaying affiliate advertisements related to my site (books & literature) that are managed outside. All banners are considered safe content.

  These would run in my header and sidebar widget sections.

  Is it possible to modify my theme to allow for this? I’ve also used the Simple Ads plugin in the past with good success – could we get something like that installed?

  Hi there,

  We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can apply for at http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this link to learn about the differences:

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested:

  Best,
