  Hi folks!

  Just wanted to know, if its allowed to link to Care2.com banners from wordpress.com blogs? I wanted to put few of these banners in my blog…

  http://www.care2.com/click-to-donate/link-to-us

  It’s a non-profit thing, for those of you who didn’t know about Care2.

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

  If you are not making any money off your referrals (which I assume you are not) and/or your site is not meant or built to drive traffic to that site (which I assume it is not), then by my understanding of the ToS it’s OK. But I’m not staff, just a fellow wp.com user. You ought to contact Support for clarification:

  Thanks for the fast reply, Mark! :)

  @husdal : The Care2 website works completely on donations, as far as i know. They don’t pay to publish their banners on your sites. Its all about donating your time and signing petitions, clicking on causes as mentioned in the link I posted…
