Recently got my business legalized with the IRS and what not. I was told to insert an EIN/TIN in the WordAds program so monies earned can be reported to the IRS as we are now a registered business.

However, Wordads isn't taking the number and when I try to put my SS number back into the line it doesn't take it either.

I understand that you are not currently allowed to host paid advertising on your wordpress.com page. However, I was wondering if you were allowed to post images that link to particular websites that are NON PAID. For example, an image that links to a particular company that I like or a friend's company?

Thank you

My blog recently became somewhat successful to my surprise and I'm unsure what to do next. I traditionally had around 50-150 views a day, but when I blogged about some topics of greater world interest I skyrocketed to 5k - 10k a day.

Can this become successful? I'm on a basic setup with WordPress, but own my URL... can I generate revenue from advertisements?

I'd greatly appreciate any advice as I'm new to this. In closing, this has only been happening for a week so it will probably begin to drop down, but if I can stay somewhat fly I'd like to take steps forward.

Thanks much,

Joe

I've realised where the advertisements are located have changed recently, along with the number of advertises. So now they appear on the sidebar, bottom of the first post and the banner, I think it's too much.

I'd prefer it if advertisement were placed at the end of each post and only one appearing on the home page. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks.

1) none at all. If you do, your blog will be suspended. The ONLY exceptions are for original artists, authors, etc, who are selling their own wares off their blogs. Occasionally a review site can use an Amazon link, but not in every post and not in the sidebar. Really, if you want ads and affiliates, you want to leave.

2) I can't answer this without knowing what kind of traffic you have, and what kind of blog. Do you have a clearly defined, desireable demographic of readers? Do you have at least a thousand views a day? If so, you're attractive to advertisers. If not, then no.

3) no, WP.org works almost exactly like Wp.com. You can do what I did, which is get a free theme and just start blogging without tinkering with so much as the background colour, or you can go nuts with theme hacking, whatever you want. But you are always responsible for security, backups, and making sure your stuff is up to date: plugins, themes WordPresss, etc.
