  Ok I was trying to post the rotating banner today. In my blog. Yesterday I was trying to post product links into my other website. I use word press for that one too. I just keep getting the tagline to appear.

  There is only one advertising program called WordAds at WordPress.com and it’s for blogs on their own domains. This is the homepage for the WordAds program: http://www.wordads.co/ There you will find the application page as well as FAQs.

  Aside from a blog being accepted into WordAds, no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products 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

  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/

  No advertising banners are allowed – period.
  The product links ie. affiliate links are being stripped out by the software and that will continue.
  Hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install.

  Ok I think I understand. Thanks. One more question for you I am new at this so questions are like breaths one in one out. I have hosting by blue host on my other website. I was using WordPress to set up that website. I own the domain name. What you told me still applies here.

  What I posted applies to every free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  Important Notes Before Upgrading
  Advertising: While a blog must have a mapped domain in order to qualify for WordAds, the Domain Mapping Upgrade does not otherwise permit advertising on your blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
