Guidance Please on "Master" Account

    Based on my reading/understanding of the directions, FAQs, forum posts, etc. I have my two sites set up under separate accounts with separate user names. Do I need a third account set up to serve as the "master" account?

    When I set up the second account, it would not let me use the same username as the first. Yet when I edit settings to "bind" the accounts, they seem to get bound to the non-shared usernames.

    I'd like to combine weights and be able to efficiently administer the two sites. How is this done? I'm sure there's a simple answer...I just can't find it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Not a 3d one. Just bind all of them to one you think of as being the master. From then on you can manage your ad inventory from the master. Click the 'consolidate' button in the master account after binding.

    Thank you. You helped me figure it out. To clarify for any other newbies that might get tripped-up:

    1. You set up separate accounts for each domain using different usernames on the account set up form;

    2. To bind accounts, you log in separately to each account, go to "Edit Account Settings" and, at the bottom of form, bind the accounts to a common username/password.

    3. The separate domains then appear together under the "My Sites" section when you click on "Go To Master".

    At least, this is what I did and it seems to have worked.
