  Hey guys,

  I am considering getting the personal plan for my new blog, but I have a few concerns. Does getting the personal plan allow me to put Adsense ads on my posts? And can I install themes bought from theme forrest or plugins like yoast?

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  We have our own advertising program called WordAds, and that is the only advertising we allow on WordPress.com. Use of Adsense is not possible and is also not allowed, regardless of what plan you’re using. The Premium and Business plans include automatic inclusion in WordAds, but on the Personal plan your site will need to be approved after you apply manually.

  You can see more about our monetisation options here:

  Monetize Your Site

  Outside themes cannot be used on WordPress.com at all, nor can plugins. For those you need the self-hosted version of WordPress, called WordPress.org. See the link below for more info. However, in the case of Yoast specifically, you don’t need that on WordPress.com, as everything Yoast does your free WordPress.com site does already by default.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org
