Ok, so when from what I've read, a lot of people on here like and recommend Wordpress. Well, I was just checking out some stuff and I found this on Wordpress.
"Adsense, Yahoo, Chitika and other ads are not permitted to be added by users. Adverts that may be inserted when using an external blogging program will be blocked.
Sponsored / paid posts including PayPerPost and ReviewMe are not permitted.
A discrete link to your business or a site you are associated with in the sidebar or an About page is permitted.
A discrete link to Amazon or similar in the context of a post is okay, but if the primary purpose of the blog is to drive traffic to affiliate programs that’s not allowed. If you’re not sure, contact support.
Clicktrackers and any promotion of the “I made a million on the internet and so can you” type of advertising are expressly forbidden.
We have a very low tolerance for blogs created purely for search engine optimization or commercial purposes, machine-generated blogs, and will continue to nuke them, so if that’s what you’re interested in WordPress.com is not for you."
So if they're so up and against adsense and affiliate marketing, why has Wordpress been recommended? Do the rules change if you buy a domain and host a blog there using Wordpress or have people just done it anyway? (I'm just using free blogs for now to help in article marketing...)
