Comment on How to Add AdSense to WordPress by SEO Dave.
As you are hosting your WordPress blog on the free WordPress.com site I’m afraid you can’t add AdSense to your site.
With wordPress.com hosted blogs you are only allowed to use the themes they have installed and none of them include AdSense code and you can’t edit the themes code directly.
Also it’s against the wordpress.com TOS to add advertising code to a blog. So even if you find a way around it (the text widget AdSense code might work) you’ll be breaking the WordPress.com TOS.
Only way to use AdSense with WordPress is to buy a domain name and install the self hosted version of WordPress.
