  No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs. The only blogs that can be equipped for ecommerce are those with the $299. per year business upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed.
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  There are no restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this guide to learn about the differences.

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested. http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  You can sell only products you personally create or services that you personally provide. You can post a PayPal button http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  If you have a shopping cart set up for your own products or services elsewhere online you can create a custom menu and include a custom link to it in the menu.

  WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.

  Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.

  I can’t find where to ask a question, I just picked this thread at random. can you direct me to where I can ask a question as in, “how to ask one” I don’t see anywhere where it says, “ask your own” or anything. I have asked questions before, but can’t remember how I found it.
