I use GMail for my Adsense account, but the GMail account is just for when I do Directory Submissions and gets spammed to hell, so I wouldn't miss it if I got banned by Adsense and the Gmail account went to.
Nope, you can use something called Google accounts where you can manage all your Google accounts in one place. All Google will do if you get banned frm AdSense is simply stop your ID gaining access to the AdSense service.
Nope. I don't use my Gmail account for my Adsense account. I am using my website's email account for that. Is there any extra benefit if we use Gmail for Adsense
using gmail ID can have its drawbacks as well like there are more chances of it getting hacked since you access all google services through it.
I think it's sensible to use a different email account - that way, if you get banned (cough, cough) you've got more chance of being able to creep back in under the wire. Not that I would advocate such dishonesty!
I don't see any reason why there is any downside with using our own gmail account. I will automatically login to my adsense if my gmail remains open.
I have 1 gmail account for my mail. I have 2 gmail accounts, one for each of my adsense accounts. I have another gmail account that I use for my adwords account. I have another gmail address that I used when I worked for/with Google. I have at least 10 gmail accounts and use them for various services.
No because they are two different things. Than they would have to ban you from all the others items Google offers to webmasters. So it would just be a ban on the adsense account. But I use adsense but use my yahoo email. Just prefer it that way. I didnt do it that way for any special reason.
