Does word press allow advertising or promotion of web-sites? I belong to Clickbank.com and wanted to add a link to one of my posts that would direct readers to another site. I pasted code and the post said click here in blue. When I clicked it I should have been directed to the site. Instead I was led to wordpress-types of blogs. I also put in the URL of the website under links and it didn't appear on my post. Thank you for any help.
The blog I need help with is pdykie.wordpress.com.

Thank you for a thorough explanation. I will read word presses policies on allowable items. Thanks again.

hello. I read through all the advertising requirements about WordPress.com. I just want to make sure its all right for me to post any banner ads or text links in my blog? I write about gardening tips and I write relevant content. I am an affiliate publisher. I just have my blog domain mapped. So I am asking you if it is OK to go forward with the text links, hyperlinks,and banner ads? The adverts and the site is all about gardening and gardening tips and products.
Please let me know about your answers to this question..
Thanks.
@penn - we need the URL of the blog / site in question to give you an accurate answer
hello. here is my blog
handy-gardening-tips.org - it is a very new blog site. I have an article that is still in draft. I am an affiliate of another garden center advertisers. I am quite apprehensive of doing the banner ads, text links etc. for I do not want to violate your terms and conditions and end up losing my site.
Read what I posted above at every one of those links http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/is-advertising-or-promotion-of-sites-allowed-on-word-press?replies=7#post-697745 If you have any intention of posting any affiliate links don't do it without running them by Staff. The support link will be reactivated Monday am (UTC) time.
