  Hello @mak2307
  Welcome to WordPress.COM!

  1. I have registered a domain with godaddy. How would i able to integrate it with a wordpress package?

  You can use the Domain Mapping upgrade to point your domain to your WordPress.COM site.

  NOTE:

  You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan on your site in order to map a domain.

  As stated here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
   

  2. Do i need a premium or a business account to install plugins?

  You will need a Business plan to upload and install custom plugins.
  More information about this can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
   

  3. How can i integrate Adsense into my website.

  Advertisements from third-party ad networks like Google AdSense, OpenX, Lijit, BuySellAds, and Vibrant Media are not allowed on WordPress.com.

  As stated in this official support document: https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/

  As a blogger on WordPress.com you can earn money using WordAds-the official WordPress.com advertising program available for site/blog owners.

  There are 3 paid plans on WordPress.com: Personal, Premium and Business. You can upgrade to any of these plans to monetize your site/blog using WordAds and start making money.

  More info on making money using WordAds here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/#advertising

  Please Note: The amount of money you make via WordAds depends on Ad impressions(not Ad Clicks). Check out this forum topic to see how the earnings are calculated: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-are-the-earnings-in-wordads-calculated?replies=3#post-919750

  You do not have direct access to WordAds with Personal plan(like you do with the Business or Premium plans). You have to meet some eligibility criteria if you want to use WordAds with the personal plan. One of the eligibility criteria is a custom domain — which can be registered using this plan.

  Hope these help 🙂
