Hello, all! First of all, I wish you a very happy and prosperous new year. I hope everyone are doing well with their blogs/websites. In this new year, here comes my first article about AdSense upgrade. Today we are going to discuss a topic about upgrading or converting your hosted AdSense account to normal or fully approved AdSense account. Everyone knows how to get approved for hosted AdSense account and how to get an Adsense approval i.e., fully hosted one, but few of them are not aware of getting upgraded to fully approved AdSense account from hosted one. So, I am going to explain you the differences between hosted AdSense account and normal AdSense account. At the same time, I will explain you the procedure to convert your hosted AdSense account to normal AdSense account.
Differences between Hosted Adsense Account and Non-hosted Adsense Account (Fully approved)
Hosted AdSense account
The AdSense account that got approved via the third party hosted partnered sites such as YouTube, Blogspot or Hubpages. That mean if you got an AdSense approval using these third party sites, you cannot use this AdSense account to show ads on any other domain name or site. Adsense hosted account is an account, where you can display ads only on Youtube, Blogspot, HubPages (sites which let you apply for an AdSense and use ad code on that domain itself). This is the actual working of hosted AdSense account as of now.
Non-Hosted (or) Fully Approved normal AdSense Account
This is the only difference between the non-hosted or normal AdSense account and the hosted AdSense account.
I hope you have got a clarity between hosted AdSense account and non-hosted AdSense account. If you have any doubts regarding this topic let me know in your comments.
