  Hi,
  thanks for your quick response, but this kind of didn’t solve my problem.
  Actually I need to verify my site on the affiliate site first.

  I am interested where can I find head section of the index file?

  You aren’t going to be able to add an affiliate that way on a WordPress.com site.

  Can you please send me the instructions that they’ve given you? We only permit certain types of code too due to our shared environment.

  Hi
  These are concrete instruction they have given to me:

  To verify your site, you will need to use one of the two methods described below. Once you have completed method 1 OR method 2, please click “Verify Site” to complete the process.

  Method 1: HTML Meta Tag

  Insert the following tag into the head section of the index file at:
  https://dotsandgrids264195717.wordpress.com

  <meta name=”verification” content=”88bd5a38dd17bce496dcaedb1cdd1be0″ />

  Method 2: HTML Verification File

  You must have access to the root of your domain to use file based verification.
  Download this HTML verification file [88bd5a38dd17bce496dcaedb1cdd1be0.html] and upload to https://dotsandgrids264195717.wordpress.com/
  Confirm success by visiting https://dotsandgrids264195717.wordpress.com/88bd5a38dd17bce496dcaedb1cdd1be0.html

  Once you have completed one of these methods, please click the Verify Site button.

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to verify a free WordPress.com site in that way. We only support this type of verification for a limited number of services.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  To add a meta-tag to your site’s header for a different service you’ll need to use a plugin, and that requires our Business Plan.

  There is no way to upload an HTML file for verifications purposes on any WordPress.com site, regardless of upgrade plan.
