I quote Google :
"Can I sign up for more than one account?

Publishers are not permitted to maintain multiple AdSense accounts. We offer flexible reporting with our channels feature that allows you to track the performance and earnings of various groups of pages or domains."

My husband and I had never heard of this when we each joined up (and didn't see it in the TOS)

But since we have different surnames and different addresses (he always uses his Post Office address for everything) I've no way of knowing whether it would be a problem if we were obviously 'domestic partners'.

I understand the approved way to have multiple Adsense accounts is to register multiple companies. That would be expensive in Australia, because of company reporting requirements.

I've also heard that owning multiple registered business names is sufficient to open multiple Adsense accounts - I haven't tried this though, & don't know if this is really sufficient - after all, unlike with a company, you'd still be the legal entity

Anyone tried any of these routes?

A business colleague recently had his second account banned because they realised it was the same bank account and that was after many weeks.

However, there is an interesting "tangent" within them that I'm now looking into. The "tangent" I speak of is two "other" sources:

1. http://www.thedeathofadsense.com/approve

2. http://www.thedeathofadsense.com/az

#1 is for "Modern Click" and #2 is for "Azoogle Ads."

I'll check back later and let you know what I came up with, if anything at all.

I tried out AdsenseShield. Very nice script. I noticed it wasn't working properly with Firefox and told Plank. He updated the script to version 1.1, just in case you're using the 1.0 version. There's still some glitches, like not working on files in subfolders, but it's better than nothing.

He updated the script while installing it for me in early September. I don't think he sent out a notification about the update but I've attached it to this post.

I've been using Adsense Shield with another tracker and noticed that I'm still getting an occasional user with several clicks. I'm not sure if they're malicious or just click happy but I'm testing AdLogger to see if I can stop this. AdLogger checks users IP's to see if they've clicked on too many ads, which is something that Adsense Shield doesn't do. It's a free program and it's open source. You can get it here:

Click here for AdLogger

It's more involved than Adsense Shield. You need to create a mySQL database. The setup is pretty easy. You can define how many clicks per hour you want to limit users to. (This isn't an option in Adsense Shield.) You can also set a limit that when hit will have the script send you an alert email.

Each ad block is surrounded by a PHP wrapper. You plug the adsense code into the interface and it generates the code with the PHP wrapper.

I haven't tried the alternate ad option yet but it looks like you can have different ad formats display for each ad block, so the sizes can match. I think it would work well with Kurt's Cherrybomb.

I'm testing it for a couple days to see how things go.

I just finished testing Adlogger. I like Adlogger's features but I couldn't get it to work right on my test site. It only recorded a handful of clicks. I think it may have conflicted with some of the javascript I use to serve CPM ads. There's a lot of potential with the script, so I'll take another look in 6 months but for now I'll stick with Adsense Shield.

Do you use Adsense Shield on any pages with html?

Right now, I'm only using Adsense Shield on pages with php.
