    Hello,

    I have a adwords account running for a few months. Now someone from the family needs a seperate account, but i want to manage the account from my PC and with my credit card.

    Is this allowed by adwords TOS, to have 2 accounts managed by the same user?
    I can't find any info on this matter.

    You can have more than 1 adwords account.

    Yes, you can.
    But you can't active the same URL in more than 1 accounts.

    Individuals advertising for themselves or for their own businesses may only have a single AdWords account. However, your account may contain multiple Ad Groups and ads triggered by the same or similar keywords.

    Only client managers (such as third parties or search engine marketers) who use a My Client Center can have multiple AdWords accounts. All associated accounts must be linked to the manager's My Client Center account.

    Of course your relative can have their own account.

    When they do get one, it's up to you whether to use the My Client interface, which is quite handy I have to say.

    Yes it is. I never understood why people take the trouble and risk to do this for $50 of free ads.

    Thanks for that link.
    I read that you can't have 2 accounts to promote the same business.
    But the extra account i want to make is for someone else and for another business. It just needs to get credited to my CC.

    You can, Only restriction is you cant advertise for the same sites from 2 accounts., I asked our adwords rep regarding this, when i had a doubt regarding my personal account.,

    Are you sure? :rolleyes:
    It means you can create new account for using free vouchers ? :rolleyes:

    What's the point behind it?
    Why Google allows us to create multiple accounts for using vouchers? :rolleyes:

    No it is not allowed - speaking from personal exp. I got banned and had to send them at least 3-4 emails to get it back. (literally begged and apologised for mistake).
