  Is it okay to use Google Adsense on a .com website that is hosted through WordPress?

  I know I can’t use Adsense on a wordpress.com site but I’ve registered my own domain – although the site is still hosted with WordPress?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:

  Using a custom domain does not change the rules regarding advertising and WordPress.com. Even with a custom domain, your site is still a WordPress.com site. We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about here:

  WordAds

  If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. Please see this link to learn about the differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
