Hi !
Dunno if this is the right thread to post..anyway...

1) If I re-direct my domain to a word press blog name, will it effect the Google Search Engine in future for my original domain ? e.g. (MYDOMAIN.COM gets re-directed to MYBLOG.Wordpress.com) ....

2) Is it possible to put Adverts of Google, and Affiliates in Wordpress domain ?

I want to develop 2 domains, but want to see which is easier in ur opinion...Either to make it a blog or create a website myself....,, Want to earn atleast the yearly registration fee..LOL !

Why not use your own domain and self-host WordPress? It's very easy to set up and will give you near unlimited flexibility. And will not only not-harm your domain in the future, but it will actively improve it now.

http://wordpress.org to download.

It's very easy to do almost anything if you selfhost.

How much does it cost with Wordpress ?
Because, I already have the Domain registered and also I got hosting with it....
So I dont wanna waste more money on it....
Is the wordpress fee yearly or is it one time ?

I'm guessing you didn't bother clicking the previous link.

Here it is again in nice big text.

http://wordpress.org

All you need is a domain (e.g. myblog.com)
some hosting (here are some examples: http://wordpress.org/hosting/)
and the files which you can download off of http://wordpress.org as Danltn has said.

Then upload these files via FTP (http://smartftp.com) and then install it!

Good luck!
