    Hi all,

    I asked this question a few days ago had a few posts but no answer so I am putting it out to all you adsense experts...my adsense account has been disabled for invalid clicks, no argument with that! I owned up to google as my daughter and her friend were clicking on ads without my knowledge, but only after my account was disabled as I wasn't keeping an eye on the visitor behaviour (guilty because I was not doing what I believe should be googles job!) Anyway...

    My sites were doing pretty well for adsense (even without those invalid clicks) and a relative with the same surname has asked if they can place their account id on these sites.

    The question is this...would this relative be in danger of having their account disabled for association (same surname) as I have read that this does happen?

    Please note, there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of my sites as they do not break any of googles policies relating to content and they all have privacy policy with google cookie information.

    creditcardconsolidationloanssite.com for example

    Another question; is there anything wrong with doing 301 redirects from the site I own to my relative's site that is showing adsense as my sites have traffic that is being wasted that I have took six months to build up?

    I saw this post of yours before and you had plenty of replies....
    Go back and re-read it instead of promoting your site....

    Hi bestserviceforyou,

    quite frankly your response is why i'm not keen on posting on forums...I'm not trying to promote my sites I am looking for answers to my questions. If the posts that are made on previous threads do not answer the questions being asked what are you supposed to do?

    forget about it or try to rephrase the question in more detailed fashion as I have done to make it simpler for people to understand and answer?

    your statement 'plenty of replies'? simply put, no I did not, I had two one from you and I replied with a question about LLC's that you never responded to and the other stated that the same thing happened to them but with no further insight.

    I put it to you that if people simply answered questions that they knew the answer to rather than replying just to get THEIR sites' links shown then people needing information might actually get it!

    I can find plenty of people posting about how great a job THEY have done but all I ask for is straight forward answers to straight forward questions why is it nobody on forums seems able to do this?

    Just to add to my last rant, if you are talking about promoting your links I can see that you have posted 920 times and I only 24 times yet you have only been a forum member for 19 months and me 14 months!

    I think that shows I use the forum when I need it and YOU are the one promoting the links!

    BTW I've dropped the links on this post just so I don't upset you!

    Nobody should be getting upset for anything here. You don't need to justify yourself just because someone you don't even know judged you :)

    Anyway, back to your question. I perceive the suggestion you have to be very dangerous. Google likely keeps record of the sites that have been connected to your AdSense account. That said, if you suddenly change the publisher ID but the site URL remains the same, it will raise a flag. Therefore, your relative's account will be jeopardized as well as your reputation (trying to trick the system).

    What I would suggest is to contact Google and politely explain the situation as it really happened to your knowledge. You will often get much further if you are just being honest and nice.

    I also would not recommend a 301 redirect to your friends/relative's website. If you don't want to "waste" your traffic and continue monetizing it for the time being, choose another ad network.

    Hope that helps.

    iam not sure if adsense would ban you or not.But if you have a finance site,you may try CPA -There are lot of people needing leads and you know what the income through CPA may cross adsense.Try them.adsense is not the only way to monetize.
