  Use a text widget with html coding. And make sure you’ve chosen a theme with a sidebar. But you should be aware that commercial blogs are not permitted at WP.com. A ‘discreet link’ to a business is permitted.

  Advertising is not allowed on free hosted wordpress.com blogs. http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/
  If that’s a deal breaker for you then you can hire a web host very inexpensively and download free software from http://wordpress.org

  What is the url of your wp.com blog? The link from your username goes to a different domain.

  @mountainhigh
  Volunteers answering forum questions do not interpret policy and its application, staff do. And at this link http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/ we find the following phrases:

  If you’re not sure, contact support.

  and

  If you are in any doubt, ask.

  On the admin side of your blog in the top right hand corner you will find a “support” button and during support hours you can use it to send in your details to staff and to ask for assistance.
