  Hi,

  I would like to sell some products on my website to help get young people interested in science. My wordpress.com page has a lot of original content on it and I was told that it would be ok for me to put a link on it but I don’t know how 2. Can any one help me out?

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

  If you are trying to set up an Amazon Store that’s a no go on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We cannot post an iframes on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. The software will strip the code out to preserve security as this is a multiuser blogging platform.

  The only exceptions to the affiliate links policy > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ are found here in italics under blogs that are not allowed:

  Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. Here is a thread in the support forums that talks more about which affiliate links are OK or not OK. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  Thank you for the help :) So according to exceptions to the affiliate links policy my wordpress.com is ok to have an amazon store/link. Sorry to be a pain but do you know how I can get one on there?

  I am sorry you have lost me. I have read the links you gave me and they say that wordpress.com does not mind the odd like as long as the website is a real one. It also says that its ok as long as the links are not the sole reason for the site.
