Over 18 ?

    See I'm not over 18 and still want to use adsense.

    My parents don't want there names up there, so I have to figure out a solution.

    So what if I put my name in? How will they know I'm not over 18?

    I'll just get the cheques and cash them.

    Sucks that you have to be over 18 but i'm willing to do this.

    Well, you're breaking the rules if you cheat the system... and if they did find out, you'd be in trouble. Probably not worth trying to fake it ....

    How can they find out?

    I don't see any way of them finding out.

    They can't find out. Safe to do.

    You can ruin it for yourself for a long time into the future if you lie about your age now.
    Just develop your website, grow links to it, grow visitors and then when you turn 18 celebrate your birthday by adding adsense to your site (or the day after).

    Do you perhaps have a trustworthy uncle, neighbor or even teacher you could business partner with?

    try again with your parents
    ask an uncle
    ask your older bro
    err..

    but it's true google will probably never know your age but what if they do... bam you gonna miss something then.

    what kind of traffic do you currently receive?

    Hmmm I guess i'll have to talk to my parents about it.

    Dagnabbit.

    I don't know anyone who would be willing to cash the cheques and then give me the money. Especially not my relatives :p

    I wouldn't risk it. Sure you could make a few bucks, but if you get banned you are never gonna have a chance to use AdSense.

    I waited, but then again I only learned about adsense when I was around 18 so it wasn't too bad.

    At your age (whatever it is) I would advise you to learn as much as you can from what you read here and on other sites, so that when you are 18 you are ready to implement the strategies quickly into a site.

    I believe there's no risk whatsoever, the ones who say Google will find out one way or another have just watched too many movies, it's simply not possible and they don't care at all, it's just somethign they write to be safe, it's the job of their lawyer to do all kind of clauses in their "contract"..

    I wouldn't worry a bit about that!

    Exactly. That's what I'm thinking. How many adsense customers do they have? Too many to count. How could they invest the time into finding out my age.

    That's practically impossible.

    That's true, but if it does happen for some reason, you're screwed, and you'll never get in again...
