Internet marketing and advertising go hand in hand and seldom does one exist without the other. In most cases, blogs exist alongside websites for the purposes of advertising. With WordPress being the most popular blogging software to date, the question of whether you can advertise on WordPress and how exactly to do it is inevitable.
To answer this question, you cannot advertise on WordPress.com. Adsense, Chitika, Yahoo and TextLinkAds are a definite no on WordPress. You cannot use PayPerPost, Smorty or ReviewMe services to domains such as clicktrackers, clickbank, usercash, clickhop and any other advertising service that works this way on Wordpess.com. This is unless you become a VIP member, a step you might want to think twice before taking because it costs a whooping 600 dollars to set up and 300 dollars every month to maintain the status. You thus have to weign your option carefully and see that it is worth the while.
How exactly is WordPress.com so popular if it does not support advertising which in most cases is part and parcel of a blog; you may ask. Well, one of the methods you can use that is mentioned above is VIP blogs. You can also run ads if you manage your own WordPress installation. In addition, you can utilize a feature called Ad Control on WordPress. There are several features or plugins that are present on wordpress to enable you advertise your products.
