Why aren't the links I post to external sites not working?
-
Links to external content not working lately – they used to! Using Amazon Affiliate links and other sites as well
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can have Amazon affiliate links on a self hosted WordPress.ORG install. However, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate so there is no upgrade involved. You hire a web hosted and set up your own self hosted install. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Here’s what gets a free hosted WordPress.COM blog suspended:

http://en.wordpress.com/tos/Here at WordPress>COM there must be a real blog and not just a collection of pseudo posts designed to drive traffic to external sites so you get a kickback. You can post an occasional Amazon link only, however, the only exceptions to the no affiliate links policy are found in the policy section outlining blogs that are not allowed in italics and do not apply to you:
Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. Here is a thread in the support forums that talks more about which affiliate links are OK or not OK. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
