How to protect Adsense earnings from account being disabled

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by alex_zak_il, Dec 13, 2008.

    Here is an article describing a relatively simple way to make sure that if the Adsense account is disabled the earnings of the previous month are saved:

    Protect your previous Adsense earnings from account getting disabled.

    Basically the idea is to have two accounts (by different people) and switch them each month.

    What do you think? Will it work, and is it OK with google?

    It is not OK. When google find that kind of manipulation, you will get a ban fro both accounts. Imho.

    Accounts are allowed in different names, but only as separate entities. You can't have more than one account in your own name personally.

    So you can only ever have 1 account in your own name
    You can have more than 1 account if it's registered as a business entity.

    There is nothing to stop your brother, sister, mother, father, uncle, aunt signing up for their own account.

    This is all you need to know.

    I think you'd have more chance of both accounts being banned if you try this.

    Why not just have one account and follow the rules?

    This here seems to be the best route to follow.

    Agreed. You have nothing to worry about if you follow TOS.

    But how is that against the TOS? You can have two different people with Adsense accounts on the site - digital point forum allows users to have their ads appear on this page, so you will not be banned just for having your brother or something put his code on the page.

    Now, the question is what will happen if one account does get invalid clicks and get banned. Will the other account be banned too, just because it was on the same page as a banned account?
    Because if yes, then the ad revenue sharing concept can be dangerous - what if someone who has his ad here will have his account disabled? Will others be punished too?

    Why would you EVER put ad code from 2 accounts on one page on a site you run yourself? Revenue sharing is another subject, but if you have your own assets keep them separate and that includes the ad code that you run on them. The logic you are using is flawed from the outset. No offence intended.
