Roommate Wants Adsense Account

Discussion in 'Guidelines / Compliance' started by adcents, Mar 24, 2011.

    I have an Adsense account and now my roommate wants one. Is there a problem having two Adsense accounts with the same address. I know they are strict about having one account per person. I want to avoid any issues.

    Thanks.

    Shouldn't be a problem. Make sure to change maybe a small characteristic in the address if possible, just to avoid any issues.

    Ask them to give their original address, and ask them to apply from different ip address, that shouldn't be a problem

    You shouldn't talk about adsense to anyone, especially those living in the same room as yourself. This is pretty unsafe to me, but hey..

    i dont think it will be much of a problem , google says one person can have just one google adsense account not onle one person from comunity/address/family can have one account also he(your roomate) whill use a different email address , payees name etc.

    It won't be a problem as long as your room mate can provide a different address from that of yours.

    Sounds like your wanting a second account to me... lol
    --
    But as long as you have different mailing addresses you will be ok. Google knows people some times log in from same IP's, like libraries, colleges, etc.

    I am going to contact Google because the answers here don't really point in one direction.

    Why would I need a second account? I have had mine for about 5 years!

    I am not trying to trick Google or commit any type of fraud. Life is much easier when you play it straight.

    My roommate is creating the content for a site I am building and we were planning on rotating the ads.

    That's actually good advice. My roommate from 4 years ago got jealous of my earnings and started clicking my ads when I moved out. I checked the logs and his computer history to verify it was him. You can talk about it, but I wouldn't let them know what your site is unless you trust them.

    Don't use same IP Same PC to apply and check account balances. It is not safe. Tell him to apply using another friend's or relatives address. It will be safe for both of you.

    I do things legit. Life is so much easier when you are truthful and honest. I don't need to cheat the system or do things unethical to be successful.

    He is going to contact them to see if there is an issue. We are still working on the site, so he might not do it right away.

    That's ok but you can't contact/talk to Google anyway! There should be somebody listening when you speak!

    Same address for two AS account is so risky. If one account banned for invalid activities, then other AC will be banned very soon.

    So my suggestions is - Not same address for two AdSense account.
