I’m thinking of starting a blog, but I don’t want to start one if nobody is going to read it. Is there anywhere I can advertise my blog or put the name some where so that people will be able to find it?
Thanks for any info!

I recently became aware that you are not allowed to advertise or have affiliates in any way while using a blog at wordpress.com. I have searched the internet over for a question that no one has been able to answer so far. That question is:
If you use a host that you pay for, to host your blog- like godaddy or something, will wordpress still nuke you? I need to know this because I am dissatisfied using blogspot.com where my blog is currently at. I used to use WP but now want to switch back- but I don’t want to sacrifice my affiliates or advertising because I am using my blog for e-commerce and affiliate marketing purposes.
WordPress states, "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."
^Does this mean that you can just set up a host and grab your own domain and they wont nuke you?
Any help would be great, and I really appreciate it.
