  If you’re talking about a self-hosted site rather than one on wordpress.com, you’ll have to ask your web-host.

  I hope it is supported by the theme which i am using.

  My blog’s Theme is: Fusion by digitalnature

  How can i find whether my theme supports it or not?

  I don’t know. I suspect it’s available on all themes now.

  Oops… Changing a theme will be a big challenge. I hope it is supported by free themes. I am already investing time in my blog. I cannot invest any money.

  The only mention I’ve seen of any user-initiated advertising in on the Enterprise plan which starts at $500/mo and the VIP plan which is even more expensive.

  Re-read the first link you were given. Affiliate sales and ads are not allowed here, no matter what upgrades you get. If that’s what you want to do you are going to have to spend money and get an independently-hosted site, period.
