  I have an HTML file for an affiliate link. I have no idea how to post this on my site. When I post under the HTML widget nothing even shows up on my site. I’m pretty new to wordpress and making blogs in general so some standard knowledge like this gets lost to me. Thank you.

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

  I have this same issue. I don’t know if it is because I signed up for the free wordpress or what. Did you ever get an answer or figure this out?

  All support docs are here http://support.wordpress.com. If you type affiliate links into the search box and click your will discover how well searching works.

  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.

  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/

  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.

  Thank you very much for the information. I am just getting started with my blog and didn’t know all of the rules.

  Hi Timethief,
  How about I put the affiliate link (text) on sidebar using link widget?
  Thank you
