  Hello.
  May I place Amazon product links on my blog to point the readers to the recommended books? I mean the number of links would be as the number of the books and all of them are located at one page.

  WordPress.com blogs are non commercial blogs that cannot be used to drive traffic to 3rd party sites. Section 2, 5th bullet http://wordpress.com/tos/

  WordPress.com blogs cannot have blogger initiated advertising. Please read this carefully http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/

  One discreet link to Amazon per blog is okay, but if the primary purpose of the blog is to drive traffic to affiliate programs that’s not allowed. If you’re not sure, contact support.

  It sounds to me like the other wordpress option would suit you better. You can hire a web host every inexpensively and download a template from wordpress.org free of charge. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/wordpresscom-vs-wordpressorg/

  The OP didn’t specify that these would be affiliate links… and I think that would make a difference.

  Affiliate links are those that you would make money off of, an affiliate program, which Amazon has.
