Adsense, Yahoo, Chitika, TextLinkAds and other ads are not permitted on WordPress.com blogs*. If you would like to run ads on your blog, please look into running your own copy of WordPress with one of our hosting partners.
In addition to AdSense-type ads, please do not use the following services on your blog: sponsored / paid posts including PayPerPost, ReviewMe, and Smorty; affiliate / referral links to the following domains: usercash, clickbank, clickhop, cashrocks, payingcash; clicktrackers (and any similar) and any promotion of the “I made a million on the internet and so can you” type of advertising (i.e. MLM, network marketing, cash gifting, etc.). Please check our page on types of blogs for more information about what content is and isn’t welcome on WordPress.com.
If you are in any doubt, please contact support for clarification.
*You may see some advertising on WordPress.com:
1. VIP blogs are permitted to run ads.
2. To support the service (and keep free features free), we also sometimes run advertisements. If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade.
3. We are testing a feature called Ad Control that lets WordPress.com bloggers with a lot of traffic (generally 50,000 pageviews/month or more) and appropriate content turn on AdSense for their blog and split the resulting revenues 50/50 with us. If you’d like to apply to try Ad Control, please use the form below to send us a message, and include the blog URL/address and your traffic details for the past 90 days.
