  I am very aware that on a free WordPress blog you cannot use personal advertising, via Google Adsense or Project Wonderful or anything like that.

  However, I am curious if you can add those sort of things should you go up to WordPress Premium (the $99 a year plan).

  I can’t find any concrete info about this, and I wanted to check and see.

  You do not require a Premium upgrade to apply for the only advertising program here which is WordAds. What is required is that the blog is on its own domain and has enough traffic to be accepted into that program.
