  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/ Here’s what gets a blog suspended:
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/
  http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  We cannot create pseudo blogs fill of so-called posts with bit designed to drive traffic to third party sites like you have done. Only limited affiliate link posting is allowed here. There must be a real blog and text links only in occasional posts now and then all that is allowed. Please read http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  Which sidebar widget? Do you mean install, or merely activate and use one or more of the available WordPress widgets?

  Your Widgets page can be reached via the drop-down menu on the Appearance tab in your dashboard. Widgets support page http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/.

  There isn’t any point telling you how to install widgets before you change that blog completely. It’ll just get suspended if you keep on going the way you have been. Re-read the Terms of Service.
