How does this blogging site insert button ads/banners to click on?

I am interested in a blog site with "buttons" to click on to affiliate sites. On this site for example:
http://webhostexpert.blogspot.com/
The squares(buttons to click on) for each hosting site are under the description of each company.
(I guess this niche about the hosting market is saturated to overflowing). I see hosting for $1 a month.

Is there a charge for being able to do some thing like that on Bloggspot.com or can you insert those buttons for hosting(or any products amazon, vonage etc) for free?

How do you do that is my question? Is there a tutorial available somewhere?Thanks for your info in advance.

They aren't buttons... They're just pictures that are linked. (I think).

Those websites probably give those pictures away to their affiliates.

Its affiliate marketing.

Create a website/blog/whatever and join an affiliate network (e.g. Shareasale, Commission Junction) and sign up for programs that are interesting.

Each program has links, buttons, graphics, etc that you can install on your blog/website/whatever.

Thanks....sharesale...hmmmm........so you can just insert those LINKS on free blogs?

By the way...about.com has some info about this stuff

i'm pretty sure the free wordpress hosting site (wordpress.com) doesn't allow advertising on theirs
