Second Legal Entity, Second Adsense Account

Morning guys, I would like to ask the following:

If someone opens a second legal entity, (as it was previously discussed) it is entitled to a second Adsense account. Now I have the following questions:

1. This applies to people outside the USA, too?

2. When opening the new Adsense account with Google, do we have to use a different name from the first account even though the person owns both businesses?

3. Different bank account?

4. Is all this okay with the TOS? Does the second entity needs to have its own IP number, etc different from the first entity?

Thanks for your help!

 

everything should be different, IP, Address, Website etc... and more likely google allows only one account for single person, if they found anything more accounts though you have changed everything and finally your earnings will be weird

 

Asking here is no defense if you get caught breaking the rules.

I suspect the answer is going to be based on the "entity" involved. Under US law a corporation is recognized as a living entity with all the rights and obligations of a natural born person.

Googles's TOS states in part Section 1

One person may own more than one corporation. My interpertation of the quote above is that each corporation could have a different account. That does not mean I am correct.

Partnerships, joint ventures and different business names I would not care to venture an opnion about. For sure the names and bank account would need to be different. In reality it comes down to Google's defination of "entity".

I suggest you play it safe and ask them. If it is something you feel like you can not risk asking about, most likely it is wrong and your days are numbered.

 

Hey,

1. I believe so. All of the AdSense TOS are international.
2. I would definately do that. Why not use the business name? That would also make the separation between the entities clearer.
3. Also, yes. Again, the business probably has it's own bank account, right?
4. I would try to keep them as much separated as possible.

As always, when in doubt, email G!

 

My days are not numbered because I did not open any new entity neither I have a second account. AND I always play safe and within the TOS. The reason for my question is that I was reading a thread about Shoemoney's tips and he mentioned that so I was curious.

 

Thanks, it sounds like a good idea but kind of walking on a thin line, sounds too risky for me.

 

I presume that any "entity" in the USA which has to file it's own tax return, such as a corp., can have it's own adsense account.

 

Hey AdsenseChic

There was a capital IF that started that sentence. Since you I don't think you were offended. I sure hope not. Cause it was not meant that way.

 

Shoemoney does it, and as corporations cannot share the same bank account(seriously, it wouldnt make sense to have Corp A Bank account with Corp B money into Corp A Bank account).

Also, if a company runs adsense and its financial executor who looks and maintains the company adsense account, also has a personal account. Google cannot shut down either account as they are related to 2 different entities. Otherwise it would be a nice way to get back at your boss

In terms of the law, a company is an entity. Which cannot be "owned" by a person, it is run and directed by that person/board of directors. Its like you adopt a child, you dont "own" that person, instead you are a responsible legal guardian/parent.

Offended? Not at all, that word does not exist in my vocabulary. I just wanted to clarify the point, that's all. Thanks for your input.
