  Yes, they’re using WordPress, but its on their own domain. If you have your blog hosted by WordPress.com, you can’t have advertisements.

  So, is not there any chances or scheme to have advertisement in wordpress? As I am thinking to invite others to write articles in my blog as i have little time to write and to pay them from the amount collected from advertisement? Is not there any similar facility in wordpress? Please Help me.

  You’re not allowed to put advertisements on your WordPress.com hosted blog.

  chamatkari, please read the faq and search the forum for past threads regarding this topic. aishel is right, we can’t have ads on wp.com blogs, though that rule may change in the future.

  at the moment, no ads!

  Also note that in the future you may be able to purchase an upgrade and then you may be able to have advertisements on your blog but this is not being contemplated for “free” accounts. Those who post frequently or even daily will be the likely candidates for this future upgrade.
  At this point your best bet if you wish to monetize your blog is to either move to self hosting or hiring a webhost and then download a free blog template form wordpress.org.

  http://www.blog.com.np is not hosted at wordpress.com. It uses the wordpress software downloaded from http://wordpress.org.

  Please note how I fixed the link to your blog in your post. You can’t use the ‘www’ in the link since your username takes the place of it. Using both breaks the link for 30% of the net and most search engine spiders.
