Placing ads in blog
-
Good evening, I’m interested in the template for a blog on my website (NOTEBOOK) and I would like to know if there is no problem in placing advertising banners on the side of the blog?
These are designed by myself and I sell them to clients.
I’d also like to know if my free WP account can do or if I need to upgrade?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes there is a problem and doing so on any blog hosted by WordPress.COM will get your blog suspended.
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.

thanks for your prompt reply, Let me explain a little. I’m starting a web radio in Panama, and I have my domain and all my permissions.
I am interested in placing a blog section in my website and that is why I want acquiring a WP account.
If I buy WP business could I publish my customers banners? The WP Premium gives that option?
My income would be through physical contracts with the company,
I just would rise designed a banner with a link directed to a social network.No ecommerce would receive income as Adsense or anything like that.
just for be clear. Thanks you

No, we do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about here:
Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:

If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.
