Product links on my blog posts

  • Unknown's avatar

    In my blog regularly review personal electronic gadgets and update with the technologies related to them. So when I review some products, I would want to provide links to buy that particular product or related accessories. Not every time I would provide as most of my posts are also about news and updates for which I provide links to related websites/blogs for more information. By links to products, I mean amazon affiliate links so that I can earn little bit of money sometimes to be able to provide more information to the users. I am confused whether I can provide or not. If yes whether it is allowed in the post or in the text widgets. I have read somewhere that no images for product links are allowed which I agree with.
    Thanks in advance

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi techno4use,

    Here’s a link to the support article that explains WordPress.com’s affiliate link policy:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

    I did a search on this, and it looks like timethief has a great explanation on the policy:
    <quote>WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert their own text affiliate links within post and page content only to their own products in Amazon or other third-party affiliate programs. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any affiliate links in widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.</quote>
