The leading advertisement network Google Adsense has changed its policies for the Adsense account approval.
Earlier, getting AdSense account approved was very easy. All you needed was to apply for AdSense through Blogspot or YouTube and use it on any other websites you want.
That was a very easy process but people started misusing it. After getting AdSense approved, they started using it in low quality and spamming blogs.
So, Google decided to make a big change to their AdSense policies as mentioned in their official blog. There are now two types of AdSense account. The first one is AdSense hosted account and the second on is non-hosted AdSense account.
Here’s the difference between AdSense hosted and non-hosted account.
Difference between Hosted and Non-Hosted Adsense account
There are 2 types of AdSense account, a hosted AdSense account and a standard or non-hosted AdSense account. There is a little difference between these accounts. Almost all of us knows about it but still some people have a little confusion in differentiating these accounts. So, today I am going to tell you the actual difference between these 2 accounts.
1- Hosted AdSense account
The main advantage of this account is that its approval is very easy. You can easily approve a hosted AdSense account from Google hosted sites like Blogspot, hubpages, You tube, etc. But the problem with this account is that you can not use it on sites which are not hosted by Google. It means you can only use it on Google hosted sites like You tube, Blogspot, etc.
Features of Hosted AdSense account:
1. Easy to approve.
2. Earn money with You Tube and with You tube live events too.
3. You can't use it only on Websites which are hosted by Google.
2- Non Hosted AdSense account :
This account can be used any site. It's very difficult to approve a non-hosted or publisher account but once if your account got approved it cannot be easily blocked. It's fully approved account so you didn't need to reapply for any other service. You can apply for a publisher AdSense account directly from your Website.
Features of Non-hosted account
1. It lets you to earn money from You tube and as well as from You tube live events too.
2. You can use it on any Website. It doesn't matter whether the site is hosted by Google or not.
3. You can also use it on Windows apps and mobiles to earn money.
