    Hi ...

    I was looking at the adsense registration procedure and I've noticed that they are asking for a social security number.

    Why would they want to know my social security number though ?

    For tax purposes. If you are not a corporation, they are required by the Infernal Revenue Service to send you a W-2 form after the end of the year -- with a copy to the IRS.

    If you select a different country on the first page of the application form, you get different questions on the following screens. :)
