Is what I'm proposing "Advertising" that would require a premium site/blog?
-
Dear Friends, I ask you to please visit this: https://www.facebook.com/VacationsPhilippines . I am just getting started and right now $100 or $113 (with mapping) is real money for me and I just don’t have it to buy a premium site at WordPress. I was hoping $20/month but that’s either an old price or for something else like a domain only. I want a blog, WITH the domain and mapping but that might be for later. For NOW I wonder if I can have a FREE blog, throw up a picture from one of my website pages, and link it to Facebook and other social media. Can I do this free or is it considered advertising and therefore will be shut down?
Advanced thanks for your advice,
Stephen NewdellThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.wordpress.com/tos/Posting of some affiliate links is possible, provided the blog is an actual blog and not just a storefront with links in every post driving traffic to external sites. http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.
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.
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.
There are no such restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. Please see this guide to learn about the differences.
