  I’m blogger with a personal French blog (http://emmanuel1ngeleka.wordpress.com). I’d like to know if, at this stage of the traffic, I may subscribe to wordAds because I’ve tried in vain.

  Thank you,

  Emmanuel Ngeleka

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. WordAds are only available for blogs with custom domain, in other words, no blog with the .wordpress.com address can apply. See under the heading “Eligibility” in their FAQ page: http://wordads.co/faq/

  For more information on buying a custom domain, see here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Thanks, kokkieh.
  But i got a problem. I live in africa (congo) and though i can afford to buy a domain, it’s not obvious to have one. How could i buy it without a credit card available?

  Below are the only accepted means of payment.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country. Note: You can buy a prepaid credit card from an approved country or pay in Bitcoin.

  In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.

  The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.

  More about echecks here:
  https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/article/?solutionId=13054&topicID=11500008&m=TCI

  WordPress.com also accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=bitcoin
