It fluctuates. I only got WordAds as a trial and in my opinion the ad revenue is effectively nil. It IS useful, however, if you want to reduce the number of ads on your blog without spending $30 for the No Ads upgrade. You can set it to show only one ad, whereas WordPress.com generally puts more ads than that on your blog if you don't buy the No Ads upgrade.

And yes, only blogs with custom domains will be considered for WordAds.

Or can you get that with the .wordpress.com too ?

1. All blogs here are free blogs provided by WordPress.com.
2. All free blogs here are free hosted by WordPress.com.
3. Some of those blogs are on their own domains and some are on .wordpress.com sub-domains.
4. All free blogs being free hosted by WordPress.com on their own domains, and not on .wordpress.com sub-domains are eligible for application to the WordAds programs.

Greatly appreciated. I had never noticed the difference in top level domains as wordpress.com and the subdomains as farmboots.wordpress.com

One extra dot just ruins it all....LOL

Thanks again. I hope this helps clarify it for others wondering the same thing.

Below is what comes up when I click on the apply button at your last link.

Apply for WordAds
Your publicly visible blog(s): No publicly viewable blogs with custom domains were found.

Blogs without custom domains:

Sign up for a custom domain. To be eligible for this program, your blog needs to have a custom domain.

The TLD (top level domain) here is wordpress.com and all free hosted blogs are on .wordpress.com subdomains.

A blog must be on it's own domain in order to apply for WordAds as advertizes require the blog to be on its own domain. That's done by purchasing a domain mapping upgrade.

It is at WordPress. Does this qualify?
I had clicked on the AdWords apply button and it is asking me to upgrade to a paid domain with WordPress, which led me to believe only paid domains (with WordPress) are eligible to use AdWords.

In order to participate I would have to sign up for a paid domain prior to applying for WordAds?

If this is true, I am disappointed. I have other free blogs on the Internet where we share ad revenue 50/50 or 60/40. When first starting out, it's hard to justify spending the money for a paid domain.

Is WordPress considering offering AdWords to the unpaid blog sites in the future? It is really a win-win for both of us if they do. We both earn revenue. You provide the blog and I provide all the writing and maintenance of the blog. I would be very interested in this type of advertising agreement.

Thanks....Farmboots
