  I am confused as to what ads I am or am not allowed to post on my free blog.
  I have an adult novelty items site and would like to post links to my site and discuss items I sell there.
  I would also like to post some affiliate links for sites such as Adult Friend Finders and similar sites.
  Is this allowed?
  I plan on using WordPress for additional sites in the future, both adult and general public, and I do not want to get myself banned for something stupid because of my confusion.
  Thank you.

  Advertising (including affiliate links) at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  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.

  Please see this link to learn about the differences:
