  Hi,

  I am trying to create a wordpress blog, i am completely new to all this and have never done anything to do with website designing before. I am learning it bit by bit by reading the help guides on here, but i am having great difficulties in adding affiliate banners to my site. i have watched videos on Youtube and read posts on the internet and tried to copy them but still nothing is working. Is there any advice anybody could please give me.

  Thanks Josh.

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

  How bad do you want your blog suspended? Put an affiliate link and it will be

  You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

  The only account here that you can put affiliate links on is the VIP program and that starts at $ 30,000 / year. Just getting a domain name will not change anything as long as you are hosted on WordPress.COM.

  You want affiliates, you need to move off WordPress.COM and get your own host, you can then install the WordPress.ORG software if you want.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Note that none of the plans allow you to run advertising or to upload your own themes or plugins. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions. If you need a site that requires a custom theme or plugins — e.g., if you want to be able to sell things directly from your site, or if you want to install discussion forums WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database etc.

  To move to WordPress.com take you take these steps:
  1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
  http://wordpress.org/themes/
  http://wordpress.org/plugins/

  3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.

  4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/

  OOPS! Replace “To move to WordPress.com” with “To move to WordPress.ORG”

  We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software here. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
