Hmm. Thats pretty dumb.
Anyone who has an exiting website and then develops a new one will have to create a new account.

Of course anyone who doesn’t know about this will put all their sites in one account. This is just google being sneaky and saving cash!

Spreading the word might force a rethink at google.
I can’t see that everyone having multiple accounts is good for google or us. But i’ll be creating a new one on a different IP when i get the chance.

Oh dear

I had noticed a significant difference in my earnings since I started working on 2-3 new sites…. all new/low traffic.

I wonder if the answer is to use a completely different ad network until they’re proving themselves.

It’s never a good idea to have all your eggs in one basket, it’s just Adsense is such a reliable income for me that it seems only natural to stick more sites onto the same account.

Also, there are several revenue sharing sites – I am a small participant of 1-2 and their CTR is very low compared to my main site.

Food for thought ….

Adsense is still by far the best ad network out there for small time publishers. Just look at the competition. Bidvertiser is a joke, yahoo is still in beta (After like 3 years).

As far as I know Google is very harsh on the TOS of not having multiple accounts, although there have to be ways around it considering how many individuals practice this. Smart Pricing is definitely an issue, however, and you don’t want to get smart priced or you’ll see the profits plummet.

One false move and Google shatters all the dreams of making it big. I guess I won’t try for another account for now.

I have wondered about this issue. But I really believe that Google does track enough information about sites and really does not impact poor click thru sites vs. more robust click sites. I do use the same account across multiple sites and have never seen any impact.

I was under the impression using multiple adsense accounts was against googles TOS. And no Vijay, you can’t create another account with the same IP. If you can’t get a diff IP, you should contact google about getting your ban lifted.

Legal entity means a business, right?

Can it have the same address

It is perfectly “legal” to control multiple adsense accounts, provided you follow Google’s rules regarding such. Each account must belong to a separate and unique legal entity. This means either another human being – OR another legal entity such as a C Corporation or LLC (Limited Liability Company). I have multiple accounts this way and have noticed a definite difference in terms of income by adding a second account, however I didn’t really try to quantify it.

Setting up an LLC is really only worth doing if you have the income to justify it. If you’re only making a few bucks per month then it doesn’t make any sense, but since you can get an LLC set up for just a few hundred dollars in the USA, I definitely think it makes sense for any blog/site that is actually making decent income. You only need to earn a few dollars per day more to pay for the LLC. Not to mention the tax benefits to those earning in the USA, as the LLC won’t be taxed until you draw that revenue out (same with an S Corp I believe).

Also I’m not sure that logging in to check multiple accounts from one IP address would be a huge problem. It’s also perfectly possible to legitimately maintain other people’s accounts for them, if you are their advertising/affiliate manager. If I managed the advertising for 5 clients, you can bet I’d be logging in to all 5 accounts from my main workstation. I can’t imagine this would be a gigantic red flag for Google as it’s a pretty probable scenario.

>Does anyone know how you contact Google for clarification?

No. They are an elusive company that does not even publish a website.

If you put word out on the street that you are looking for them, they might contact you.
