I have recently bought 3 domains. I am planning to implement "google adsense" search feature in one of them. I have already optimized it for some keywords Just waiting for it to get indexed. The problem: I had a google adsense account but got banned and the reason cited was "Invalid Clicks". The Question: Can I open a new account with my name? If no then can I open an account in the name of a family member?
no you can't open another account on anybody's name. if they find out that your family member is related to you then you might get banned again.
I seriously doubt that google checks all new members to see if they're related to someone who got banned. They would obviously know if your using the same ip address or public name as the domain holder. Your best bet would be to use that family members name and computer, as in someone not in your household. My question is, where you clicking on your own adds or what? If you where, that's not very smart.
I did not click on my own ad's I dont get the time to look at that website.. am too busy doing SEO for others. Anywayz... the reason is not a matter of concern here as I have mailed them continuosly asking them from where the INVALID clicks were generated and never got any feedback. As far as the IP is concerned I think I get assigned a different IP each time (dynamic) and the domain holder is different as I am hosting with a different company. But aint this like they are trying to ban the whole family In the TOS there is nothing mentioned about this topic.
