  Check this out. This is the result of clicking your username link:

  soniapires.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.

  Please post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question. Without it we cannot help.

  Did you follow these instructions?

  I have followed all instructions but the links still do not work. When I go back to check the link, everything looks good but links redirect me to a wordpress page. Thanks!

  Right and the page is the Types of Blogs pages. It states what’s allowed and what isn’t here. I’m sorry but this is not a matter for posting to a public forum. We Volunteers answering support questions have no role to play in this process. This is between you and Staff. You have a warning notice on your dashboard with a link in it. Please click that link.

  If you contacted Staff by using the “click here to contact us” link in the notice, the ToS department definitely received your request. Please be patient as they’ll be getting back to you as soon as they can.

  As a policy, please refrain from discussing ToS issues on the public forums. Thank you for your patience!

  If WordPress.com is replacing your links with a “types of blogs” page, read the “types of blogs” page…

  I don’t see a warning notice in my dashboard and I haven’t contacted anyone because there is no contact info for technical support. Ok, thanks.

  Read the Types of Blogs page please.
  In a nutshell no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM

  The advertising exceptions noted in support documentation are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, and for extremely high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program.

  If you have any further questions about advertising and/or affiliate links and/or ecommerce on a free blog from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM please contact Staff directly using this link. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  If you do require an ecommerce site, advertising and/or affiliate links you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org Refer to > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You’re welcome. The bottom line here is get rid of the advertising or your blog will be suspended.
