Tags and affiliate links
-
Hello, I was not aware that I am not allowed to add affiliate links and I added some to one of my posts. I deleted them once I learned that goes against policies but my posts are still not appearing in the reader/tag section.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: affiliate links
We can use text links only > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
1. WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.
2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
Affiliate marketing banners and any and all advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com are not allowed. No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.

One more thing while I’m waiting for help. According to those articles, I AM allowed to post affiliate links in a blog post, but not banners anywhere in my blog, am I right? I want to make sure I get this right. I really don’t want to run into any more issues like this. :)

Yes, you can post text links only.
No, you cannot post any advertising banners on your blog. -
Hi anabellino,
Your posts should not appear in the reader. It may take a couple of hours for the cache to clear on our end but after that you should be good to go.
Regarding affiliate links. These are allowed on WordPress.com sites as long as they are relevant to your content. What we don’t allow are ads (either image or text).

Oh ok! I’ll wait patiently :) thanks for your help!
And thats good to know about affiliate links.
