Around the internet I read quite a bit about not leaving a “footprint†for Google to follow and if you are building multiple Adsense sites that it is prudent to open and host them on different hosting accounts to protect yourself. This I presume is in case they ban one of your sites that may then affect the rest of your sites on that hosting account. Now surely if you are only allowed one Adsense publisher account but have many web sites spread over a few hosting accounts, then if one site got banned for whatever reason, click fraud for instance, would that not in effect result in all your Adsense sites being terminated and not just those on that particular hosting account? So is it all bull then?
How is hosting account related to your adsense account getting banned? You leave footprints all around, since you will be adding the same adsense code to all your websites, dont you think google already knows who owns the websites.........
It doesn't, that is what I am saying, that when some of these so called guru's sprout about about not hosting all your web sites on one hosting account to protect yourselves, that it is all bull and that it doesn't matter if you have one website on one hosting account or one hundred sites on the same hosting account. I was just making a point as to why some people mention that it is good practice to host your many Adsense web sites over different accounts when it doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference.
Where your website is hosted does not matter in the regards to Google Adsense. These Gurus come up with "BULL SH*T" a majority of the time in order to make them look good and make others believe that they are right. Take it straight for the owner of a website hosting company (ME); that it does not matter if your sites are scattered across hosts or with one website hosting company; either way Google has a Footprint... WhoIs Records Google Adsense Code and so many more things that only someone within Google could tell you. I hope that lightens things up a bit
It does. I think a majority of people understand this. There are so many ways to tie websites together. Your not going to protect anything by hosting on different servers.
I am glad that some people agree with me on this topic. It took me over an hour of debate with a close friend before they agreed i was write. Yes, he is a SEO Guy who is hell bent on his methods
I wouldn't say that completely. You do eliminate the single-point-of-failure whereby you're totally deadstick if that server goes down. Multiple hosts would ensure that at least some of your sites would always be up in case something unforeseen happens to one particular server. Or if you have VERY high volume traffic such that all your sites on the same host would cause access problems (slow or sluggish response etc) But as far as better ranking (except for the speed) or cloaking or the like, no, I don't see that benefit.
I always wondered about this. Though I never planned on doing anything shady that would arouse suspicion so I never asked about it.
