WordPress.com Lets You Insert Adsense
Update: On a recent update, WordPress.com has modified the relevant support page and decreased the number of pageviews that would enable one to apply for ad-control feature. You now have to have at least 25,000 pageviews to apply for enabling adsense on your WordPress.com blog.
Under certain conditions, WordPress.com (the free hosted blog) now lets its bloggers place adsense in their wordpress.com blogs. Recently, while exploring through the WordPress support page, I’ve found the update which was not announced in public. This is a short post to let my readers know about it.
WordPress.com is the best free blogging platform the earth has ever seen. 
Anyone wanting to blog can start blogging in less than a minute. It takes hassles off, makes blogging faster, easier, and unworried. Yes, you don’t have to worry about the data of your blog. WordPress.com has a strong backup of your data in more than one datacenter making sure that if one falls into the sea, others remain stable.
You are allowed to buy a few upgrades, but you aren’t allowed to run your own ads on the WordPress.com network. If you’re willing to pay a high amount, then you can. But for personal bloggers, no one will buy WordPress.com hosting. Self-hosted takes less money.
For years, wordpress.com authority has been saying that it is thinking about enabling end-bloggers to put their adsense ads so that they can earn a few money from their blogs. At last, wordpress.com has come up with a beta testing feature that calls ‘certain bloggers’ to put up their adsense ads.
The feature has been named “Ad Control”, under which a blog having over 50,000 25,000 pageviews per month can put their adsense unit under the condition of sharing the revenue with wordpress.com. To put simply, the total amount of revenue will split 50/50, which means half goes to the blogger and other half to wordpress.com.
The conditions are simple,
- Your blog has to get over 50 25 thousands pageviews per month. It will make you eligible to apply.
- If your application is accepted, you will serve adsense ads to your wordpress.com blog. Half of the total amount you earn from that wordpress.com blog will go to wordpress.com and the other half will remain at your account.
If you meet those conditions, you can apply for Ad Control feature on your blog. Simply email to ad-control@wordpress.com.
I suppose that many bloggers don’t have a wordpress.com account which receives 50k pageviews per month. This is because premium bloggers don’t start at wordpress.com. But those bloggers who already have this amount of page impressions per month did not start blogging with a view of making money online. But today, wordpress.com gives them a chance.
What about you, reader? Do you own such a busy blog in wordpress.com? Or you are going to create one right now with a target of getting over 25 thousands pageviews each day?

If blogging and making money with it has been a long cherished dream of you, and if you believe you have time, patience and a topic of interest to blog about, it's time to kick off your first blog with a perfect domain and reliable hosting. If you already have a blog, make sure you have an outstanding premium theme if you run WordPress. Only content may not bring success; creativity and design matter a lot.
If you're looking for a theme with top quality design and custom options that take no time to change your blog into whatever you like, the best would be WooThemes. If your budget is low, try ThemeForest for great quality WordPress themes at an affordable rate.
On the other hand, if you are more focused and serious in blogging, you should go with some framework. Highly suggested framework is Genesis which is recommended by top class bloggers including Chris Brogan. Headway is another alternative at an affordable price. If you have time to spend for blog development and willing to make it extremely customized, Thesis by DIY themes is also in the list.

Cbviously, a great news. Now wordpress.com bloggers can monetize their blog and will get more inspiration.
I think after certain time wordpress.com will open it for all wordpress.com bloggers.
That's cool, I never used wordpress.com before and I knew it doesn't allows you to put ads. I have started a Plog at wordpress anonymously and will be blogging there from now on.
Oh really? From the first time I have been blogging in wordpress.com and my
http://aminulislam333.wordpress.com is almost two years old. I have trashed
all posts of that blog several times and started over again so you won't
find my previous posts there.
Still I have been blogging in wordpress.com at several blogs, which include
a secret one.
By the way, won't you share your new wordpress.com blog URL with us?
wordpress is great to work with, theres soo much you can do now with all the great plugins you can install, WP is a must if youre thinkin of setting up a blog!
Thats great for people who use that, more money for them
!
Yes, I've always used wordpress.com and still I do. But none of my wp.com blogs get that much pageviews a month.
Maybe someday they will do, but then we'll see that wordpress is allowing adsense for all. 
I used to have a blog at wp.com but never had the chance to hit that kind of traffic or perhaps i was not blogging any particular niche. 50k+ hits is a viable target a blogger can aim.
That's true. But as a hosting, despite all restrictions, wordpress.com is really cool.
Agreed.
Thanks for sharing
Nice opportunity for members
I don't know why the blogger will host his/her blog on wordpress.com if they get 50k page view per month? And why should they share their hard earn money? It's always better to go with self hosted, lot cheaper and much freedom.
Agreed. Actually, WordPress.com is the only solution if one wants to blog
for fun; not with a serious motivation of making money online.
[...] wrote a post few months ago informing my readers that WordPress.com now supports AdSense for blogs that have over 25 thousands pageviews per month. In my opinion, this is definitely a nice [...]
Hello I wonder if anyone has used Ad Control before?
How much can a blog getting 25000 views a month realistically hope to earn?
Hope you guys can share your experience.
Bad deal, having a 25K pageviews and the 50/50 cut is just stupid !
I can setup my blog on blogger.com and start earning money with just 1K of visitors.
Bad deal for us, amazing opportunity for those who are passionate bloggers
and never thought of earning from their stupid blogs.
Anyway, you cannot compare WP.com with blogger. Both are free, but WP.com
doesn't support advertising. If you want a truly amazing blogging
experience, you must try WordPress in your own hosting. Believe me or not,
it's something worth trying and getting fixed at.
obviously a great news.
