Should I avoid an "Adsense Footprint"?

Just a question for those of you in the know, and you know who you are.
If I create a lots of sites for link networking and monetize them wit Adsense and the like, when I push all that link power to certain money sites, I am wondering if having the same Adsense account will hurt (or even penalize) my money site.

Am I thinking correctly that Google will see the relationship and thus footprint and de-value the links from the large network to my money sites?

If that paranoia is anywhere near true then aren't I in jeopardy from my whois owner information matching my Adsense records?

Should a create another personae to run separate networks?

Any expert information on this would be really well absorbed and digested I am sure...

    Yes, google will know those sites are associated by their adsense id so it's best to avoid using adsense or even any affiliate products (unless you cloak the links) if you are building out a network for link juice.

    Same goes for your whois info so what is generally recommended is that you use private whois registration for each site.

    Also, you want the IP addresses to be different so you'll want to get hosting that gives you lots of different class C IP's.

    I would encourage you to not monetize your pumper sites. Just let them do there thing, which is to simply provide link juice. Anything and everything you do creates a footprint. You will find that most SEO minded people will build only several sites on IP before moving to another one to build more.

    If you put your Adsense ID on all of the sites your simply going to show a manual review editor that this and every other site the ID exists on belong together.

    You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.
