Text link ads and review me

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, are Text-Link-Ads or displaying its banner as this site did on its left column of the theme?

    Also, can apply for Review Me and display its banner and service at my wordpress site?

    Thanks!

    Sorry, i missed some words. Here is it;

    “Hello, are Text-Link-Ads or displaying its banner as this site did on its left column of the theme allowed?

    ah ok now i can understand. ads are strictly not allowed in any form for free wp.com accounts. the link you provided, the blog has already been suspended.

    as for the reviewme thing, i don’t think it’s allowed, because that looks like a form of advertising (you may risk your blog being suspended if it is ads), but i’m not entirely sure.

    yay.. sorry for that fellow, got his blog suspended

    thanks by the way, for clearing up matters

    are you part of the support team or forum of the sort?

    We’re whipping boys and girls here in the forums. :) Actually we’re volenteers.

    For reference, you are allowed a single text link advert within the sidebar as well as a single donation link if you need one. There are some exceptions to this rule but that’s pretty much it.

    edit: Even Scoble can’t run adverts. I noticed that a few days ago.

    Reviewme won’t work here either because that’s a Pay Perpost system and, in additon to being paid advertising, there’s some ethical law questions here in the US about those companies.

    And seejay was on the top ten list a few days ago…

    Wait. So does that mean I can’t get money out of my blog? Is there any ad program that we CAN use? I have over 100,000 hits, so I would be really happy if I could make money out of my blog. Please respond if you know an ad program that actually DOES work. If not, can you tell me a free blog site that has the same stuff that wordpress does and that you can put ads on? If there is something like that, I might switch to that blog. Something like blogger is bad. You can put ads on there, put there aren’t any pages and stuff. That’s the one thing I love about wordpress. Pages.

    Under the current policy you cannot monetize a free hosted wordpress.com blog http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/

    The choices are:
    (1) You can apply to become a VIP blogger. It’s $600 for set-up and $300 per month. http://wordpress.com/vip-hosting/
    (2) You can hire a web host and have him download a free template from http://wordpress.org
    (3) You can find another blog host that allows ads free blog hosting wordpress
