  • Unknown's avatar

    i want to open a cats blog and put amazon affiliate links to cats food. want to know if i can put one affiliate link on every post, or can i only put it on a small percantage of posts, if so, how much, one affiliate link allowed on one in ten posts, so nine posts are link-free and only one has a link?
    or can i just put one link at the end of each and every post?

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

    You must have an actual blog and not just a pseudo blog that you pimp out simply to drive traffic to third party commercial sites via affiliate links in post after post after post. If you do that then blog will be suspended.

    Posting of some affiliate links is possible, provided the blog is an actual blog and not just a storefront. Please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.

    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/

    See:

    We allow affiliate links on WordPress.com, including from Amazon.com, but you will not be able to use the Amazon widget on a WordPress.com site. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/amazon-widget-9?replies=3#post-1882814

    Also note:
    There is no blogger initiated advertising and/or paid or sponsored content allowed on WordPress.com blogs, and no upgrade you can purchase to change that reality.

    We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about here:
    http://wordads.co/

    Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed and will get your blog suspended. 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:
