The above screenshot will help you to understand this better. Just because you're seeing Account ID in earnings tab doesn't mean you're authorised to place ads.

It happens when you have created AdSense account through YouTube or AdMob. We call it hosted account.

Adsense Hosted Account Issue


As per Google Policies, you can't use AdSense on two Google products and if you want to use it on two products then you must first upgrade AdSense account.

In this case, the AdSense account is already being used by one Google Product i.e. YouTube so to use AdSense on Blogger you must first upgrade your AdSense account. Then only you'll be able to place live ads on your blog.

How to upgrade?

To use same AdSense account on blogger please follow these steps to upgrade your account:-

  • Login to your adsense account
  • Go to 'My ads'
  • Click on 'other products'
