    I'm not quite 18 years old yet but, I am opening a google adsense account. Would I have to sign up under another name, because of my Tax id info? If so, what is a good alternative, I was thinking about neverblueads.


    Thanks,
    SATANICAT

    Yeah, I'm from USA. But would google be able to know my age via tax id? Hence getting banned.

    You have to be 18, if they find out any info you gave them is false. You'll just be banned.

    Either ask a family member or wait to apply

    When I started using adsense I was only 17 and I didn't have a problem. But that was 5 years ago so things were different. I don't even think I had to give them a SSN back then...

    Use one of your parent's name (with their permission, of course) and then when you turn 18 and you have all your info, change the contact and payment information.

    Rather don't, When I needed adsense, I signed up for it on my mother's name. It's your best option!

    Everyone registers when they are underage. I did. It was never a problem though as I'm from England.

    sorry to use your tread.
    just would like to know if it is true that once you got ban, you apply again using family name with same address will not get approved?

    No one bothers about that outside the US. :) Is it really that big of a problem there?
