Monetizing My Blog?

  • muhsinmuttaqi · Member ·

    Hello

    Adsense, Yahoo, Chitika, or TextLinkAds are not permitted in WordPress.

    Is it possible to monetize my blog with Affiliate Programs such as Linkshare or Commission Junction?

    Is it possible to monetize the blogs at all?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    <blockquote. Is it possible to monetize my blog with Affiliate Programs such as Linkshare or Commission Junction?

    No.

    Is it possible to monetize the blogs at all?

    I am sorry, but advertising is not allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Not unless your blog has extremely high traffic and you apply for the AdControl Program and your blog is accepted. Or you apply and your blog is acceptied into the VIP hosting program.

    As your blog is not a high traffic blog it cannot qualify for the Ad Control program.
    Presumably you do not wish to attempt to qualify and be accepted into the VIP hosting program. http://vip.wordpress.com/
    See:
    http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
    http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

    In a nutshell free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM cannot be used to drive traffic to third-party sites via advertising and/or affiliate programs. E-commerce cannot be conducted on wordpress.COM blogs. No retailing or reselling the work created by anyone other than you is allowed. See types of blogs section I linked to above.

    Please see this link to learn about the differences between free hosted WordPress.com blogs and WordPress.org software installs for self hosting.

    If you require advertising, you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org
