Does Google frown on Adsense accounts with lots of sites?

What if you have like 100 sites (each with their own domain and unique and different content) hooked up to your Adsense account?

I understand it may or may not be against the rules, but does Google frown on it?

Will your account be under the microscope if you have a lot of sites hooked up to it?

According to some on these sort of forums, Google seems to be ruthless when it comes to thinking of reasons to close Adsense accounts.

 

I dont think so.

But i still find it surprising that Google accepts the publisher based on just one site and allow the publisher to put adsense ads on all his websites.

 

Yes, interesting indeed.

I wonder if anyone on here has 100+ sites hooked up to Adsense.

 

100 sites omg, it would take more than 1 whole day to update all of them

 

Well, if one person is willing to auction off 42 of his sites, I'm sure there are others here with far more than 100 sites.

 

Why had they want to provide seperate accounts for each site. Wouldn't this be unneccesary cost for them and can you imagine the time spent logging into different accounts by publishers?

 

The simple answer is NO.

Google does not frown on accounts with multiple sites. It also makes it even easier for them to track surfers and potential click fraudsters.

 

100 or more sites are not a problem, you can hire people to maintain them or automate (use RSS and other tools). Google allows tens of thousands of keywords so they do not worry about quantity rather quality.

 

It would be a waste of money to have many accounts

 

And how often would you have to update them? Maybe once a month?

I would say it would take a week to update them all. Oh knoes! A week of work! Gasp!

It's probably easier than you think.

 

I know I cannot have multiple Adsense accounts, but what I'm saying, is do they want to deal with people who own 100 small sites? Wouldn't they suspect that this person is just doing it for the search results and they might think the sites are not "real."

 

I know they do not frown on multiple, but my question is, what a TON of sites?

They may not frown on 10 sites, but would they treat someone with 100 sites differently?

 

I've had more than a hundred .info domains in my past life as a crappy sites autogenerator. I'm still in the Adsense program, but have stopped autogenerating - makes no sense to have your sites here today and gone tomorrow.

 

What do you mean "here today, gone tomorrow"? Are you implying they would close you down? For what, the autogenerated sites or having too many?

 

Google doesn't care how many sites you have as long as you aren't violating their TOS - especially if these are unique content sites. 100 sites isn't even be close to being a large adsense publisher. I have several adsense accounts under different entities (which google is fully aware of) and one has approximately 50 sites. I think within the next year google is going to be aggresive about booting MFA sites due to serious concerns about losing users due to search results dominated by worthless sites. For the first time, they are going to start a manual review of sites for top ranking sites - something they have never done.

 

Here today, gone tomorrow =
(1) Create a 5000-page site in 5 minutes
(2) Blog and Ping the new site
(3) Nice - 3 days later, have hundreds of unique visitors sent in by Yahoo, clicking away at your Adsense ads, and the site starts earning $20/day ("here today")
(4) 4 months later, you get zero visitors all of a sudden, because Yahoo has deindexed your site ("gone tomorrow")

This technique worked 1 year ago - Yahoo isn't so stupid these days.

But, despite doing all this, Google has not banned me from their system, fingers crossed.

And, I've stopped auto-generating sites since the end of last year.

 

I would have thought the more sites you have the more money it makes for Google. I can't understand why they would only approve the first site and then not want to look at the rest before you put the ads on. I wonder what happens when you reach the $100 mark. Does someone check each and every site before they pay out?

 

Trisha - I miss the old days of earning $300+/day, and I had not one email from Google.

 

Google can't possibly check every site- and even if they did, the publisher could make content changes the next day. A publisher who doesn't follow the google guidelines runs the risk of not be paid and I guess than is the incentive. Anyone can report a site that is in violation and google has certain checks in place to try and deal with click fraud. It seems a lot of publishers aren't notified they are being booted until just before payment is issued and while they don't check every site, it doesn't mean they don't have spot checks.

 

What's an MFA site?
