This article of Geeabo teaches you How to Upgrade Adsense Hosted to Non-Hosted Account.

This is a very important term for Google Adsense.

There are some differences between these two type of Adsense account.

Why Upgrade Adsense Hosted to Non-Hosted Account?

If you want a fully approved Google Adsense account and you have a hosted Adsense account then you have to upgrade it to Non-hosted account.

Without the upgrade to Non-hosted account, you can’t access to all the features of non-hosted account.

If you have an Adsense Hosted account then you can’t place ads on non-google sites.

Means, if you have an Adsense Hosted account then you only place ads on partner sites of Google such as Blogspot, YouTube or HubPages.

So, there are a lot of differences between these two.

The advantage of Non-hosted Account.

The non-hosted account is the fully approved Adsense account.

You can use this account or you can place ads for this account anywhere either it is your Self-hosted website, Blogger website, Youtube, etc.

For upgrading Adsense you must have a Self-hosted website.

For upgrading to the non-hosted account you must have a self-hosted website.

Without a Self-hosted website, you can’t upgrade your Adsense account.

If your URL has added a suffix “wordpress.com” or “blogspot.com” or any other like this in the URL, then your blog or website is not self-hosted.

Ex. – Yoursite.wordpress.com or Yoursite.blogspot.com

Rather, if you are operating your site by purchasing your domain, then you are self-hosted.

Ex. – Yoursite.com

You need to take care of these things before upgrading your AdSense account.

If I say briefly, you need to follow all the important criteria of a good website.

You need to follow Google’s policy.

Content – Before upgrading your Adsense account, you must have some unique and informative contents on your self-hosted website. And your content should not be copied.
No. of articles – Your website should have at least 20 articles and each article contains 1000 to 2000 words.
No. of Visitors – If your website has not a good no. of visitors (at least 300 per day) then don’t try to upgrade. Once you reached to the good number of visitors then you can apply.
