    Can you get banned for having multiple AdWords accounts? If so, do you just get banned from AdWords, or do you get banned from AdSense too?

    You never get banned for spending money anywhere. Besides the way things are going I think google will soon have its hat out on a street corner.

    Google does not seem to check for multiple accounts, even using the same credit card.

    But I'm not actually spending money, I'm buying the promo codes and just using the "free" money. So I am kind of worried that it's against their TOS or something.

    Yes,
    and is almost impossible to get in again

    nice question - I don't know.

    I *think* that they are separate accounts and you get banned individually.

    But this bye-bye Adwords notice bellow is a common mail used for adwords/adsense.

    Normally banned Adwords account does not receive mail notifications - their accounts just freezes.

    I suspect that this is a ban to an adwords account that has done something wrong in his adsense side- but I'm not sure.

    But I'm sure that this is a Adwords ban notice (see signature) - what is not common.

    Also why they would put an Adwords signature with a message making reference with Adsense account?

    Let me see If I understood you:

    you are driving free AdWords traffic to your own AdSense site and you are afraid of to get banned from AdSense right?

    I think that this is a question for AdSense forum. Maybe you find someone there that find has experience with this.

    lol,
    give us a feedback :)

    remember to at least clear your google.com domain cookies before switching between accounts - but as I know they use the CC# info to get you.

    Yeah, billions in CASH equity and an ad system that is five years ahead in technology than any competition could result in that...

    You can have as many Adwords accounts as you like - providing they are not landing at the same site

    If you were an Adwords Advertiser, and clicked on your competitors ads in an attempt to spend his daily budget and get him out of the way... then you could expect to receive this letter in an email as well.

    Not that far of a stretch.

    Ok, so after I'm done with one account, is there a way to cancel it? It doesn't feel too safe having a bunch of open accounts with my credit card...

    EDIT: Nevermind, I just checked the post below me and I guess there is no way to delete an account.

    These questions are being asked in the wrong place... who's going to hit a public library and ask them? :D

    Lol, well I'm going to tell you if I get banned. Right now I have 3 accounts, I've use up the promo money in 2 of them, so I've got 1 that I'm using. I'll probably be getting a new account every week.
