    I already have an account. My brother wants to start up and open his own account. What's google's rules regarding multiple accounts per address?

    That is my question too, let's see what the experts have to say. Address maybe same, but if flat number/apartment number differs, maybe Google will agree to it. There are many highrise buildings and different people living there, so same building can have two persons having AdSense accounts, maybe their flat/apartment number is different?

    Google's rule is simple - one account per physical address.

    This means, if someone buys a flat in a highrise where someone in another flat already has an adsense account, the second guy won't get his account due to same physical address? and, someone can use his friends' addresses and can obtain 10 adsense accounts since address is different? i saw some members were telling they have 5 to 8 accounts! is that how they got it?

    No you can have more accounts but the name should be different.

    Wrong wrong wrong.

    I know of many instances where both man & wife have an account on the same physical address - and Google doesn't care. Beware though, they are much stricter in countries outside of the western world - so what they allow in Central Europe/UK/Australia/Japan/USA, they might not allow in India/Pakistan/Phillipines/Russia.

    I'm not sure about other countries but as far as the United States is concerned I am sure they are okay with it. There are many other factors they use such as social security numbers to single people out. Also, they're not dumb..They know people live in condo's, apartments, houses, town homes..etc. Therefor, as long as the name is different, the SSN is different, and you can prove it by sending in copies of documents such as an electricity bill if needed, then you should be fine.

    I do not think it will have any problem from simple logic. As any family members can have different google account, similarly they can also have adsense account. Adsense account is for specific purpose. Google is also benefited by more accounts. so i feel there shall not be any problem Try it.

    You and your brother are two different legal personalities. So this is allowed. Just make sure you too have different websites although you may share the same residence.

    In order for your brother to own an account, see if you can get it to work with a P.O. box. If not, see if he has a friend or relative that he trusts that will allow him to use their address. Hope this helps.

    Tell your brother to help you earn enough with your account so you can move out and get your own place. Then he can open an account

    same address is not a big issue, same IP (network card) is a big one, will lead you to a ban

    for address, you can write it different, for example st. for street, po box for post box etc
