  No. Be aware that there is no blogger initiated advertising allowed and that includes paid or sponsored content and ad banners. There is a single advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about here: http://wordads.co/ But as I said above advertising outside of WordAds 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 hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and 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:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  So, if I have an already made retargeting code made from datasphere, my marketing company, I can not apply it to my blog, or my website that was made by White Shark Media?

  The other website is a wordpress.org, would that one be able to be coded? Since it was made by White Shark Media? And if so, can you tell me where I would be able to place the code?

  Retargeting is a “creepy and privacy invasive” cookie-based technology that uses Javascript code to “anonymously and sneakily” follow your visitors all over the Web. Well, here at WordPress.com all blogger posted JavaScript will stripped out by the software.

  Yes you can post that code on a WordPress.org install. No we do not provide support for WordPress.org installs here at WordPress.com. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
