image widget, is linking to another site considered advertising?
-
I’m experimenting with my widgets and wanted to put a photo on my side panel. It gives me the option of putting a link there. If I put a link to my favorite site that I got it from is that considered advertising for that site? I want to make sure I play by the rules.

If you get paid for the picture & link == BAD
Pay per click == BadIf it is just a site you like not a problem. You could even put a link to my non WordPress.COM site about boating safety and it would be OK unless I paid you for the link.
This should help explain things a bit: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
The Support Doc’s have quite a bit on what you can and can’t do if you have more questions.

You can link to an external site as long as it’s not part of any ad program, affiliate marketing, MLM, etc.
