   Is my wordpress blog able, under any circumstance, to connect with Google Adsense? I saw something about getting my own host, aka GoDaddy, but just what exactly does that allow you to do in respect to advertising? I'm hoping to make a career out of blogging, and I'm a little unclear about whether or not this is even possible using WordPress...

   The blog I need help with is bigcitysparkplug.com.

   WordPress.com is already running advertising on your blog. There is only one advertising program called WordAds at WordPress.com and it’s for blogs on their own domains. Aside from a blog being accepted into WordAds http://www.wordads.co/ no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.com blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by WordPress.com. Paid content and/or sponsored content is not allowed.

   On free hosted WordPress.com blog we can use a contact form and/or a PayPal donation button for sale of only products or services created or provided by ourselves.

   There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes any of that. If you do require an ecommerce site, advertising, affiliate links, paid or sponsored content you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org
