    Hello,
    1 - What is the difference between adsense business and personal account ?

    2 - And how can I know my account is what ? because I signed up few years ago ...
    3 - And, if it's business, does this mean it's attached to one website ? And how can I change the website url? ( I think when I signed up, they asked me for my website, but I no more seeit in my account info to change it)

    4- A last question: When google send checks, I see some people receive it with the name of the website, I don't want to see my website in the check, and want only my name. how to do that ?

    Thank you friends, I really need help in these points :)

    I think your account is a personnal one, i'm sure you'd remember if you selected a business account back then.
    An account is not attached to one website only (except the one you submit for review in your application form, I don't knwo what this information becomes, if it's destroyed or saved)
    And I never saw a cheque with the website mentionned, in all adsense check photos on the web, so I don't know for your last question.

    Where did you see checks with the names of the website mentioned? Would like to know. Never seen checks like that.

    You are right, I found out that people add their website name when they upload an adsense check :)

    Business account checks are made out to the Company name. Many people's businesses are their web sites, and that's probably why the checks issued to them use their web site as Payee.

    Hello here are the answers of your questions.

    There is not difference in individual and business account regarding services. Both are same. But....If you have an individual account then you can receive checks in your own payee name. But if you have a business account then you can receive only check on the name of your website but not in personal name. But if you have an individual account then you can also receive the cash through western union but not in case of business account.

    Hope everything cleared. One thing more that once you select the account it is not possible to change. but if you want to change then try to change your settings within 1st to 15th. It will be affected.

    If you found it helpful then increase my 1 reputation point in positive.

    If you have any more question then plz pm me. I will reply you immediately.

    Thanks

    If you did not register a company for your adsense job, then there's no issue on business account.
