OK, I have multiple google accounts. And i have to for tracking purposes. I markets in different currency's and there is no way to properly track since the main accounts only are in 1 currency.

The 2 accounts are on seperate credit cards.

I am doing this only for this reason and have realized many years later that this may be against googles policies. However, I never run ads cometing against each other or anything like that. It is just for the currency/tracking reasons I have explained.


Anyways, I also have many course where people are stating they have multiple accounts and I think I read somewhere that if you ask them they might allow this.

Thing is I am a fraidy cat to tell google I have multiple accounts, because if they close one down I cannot track properly and I am thinking they will not understand or care about this fact.

Has anyone approached google to ask for multiple accounts or have any advice?

    I have multiple accounts, same credit card though and there is no problem with Google. They know about it.

    Neither account promotes the same products or services or uses the same keywords.

    As long as you don't try to double serve ads for the same keywords you are fine.

    My understanding is that you can only have 1 account in your own name, personally, but you can have more accounts as a business entity/ies. For instance "Joe Bloggs" could have an account personally and also have a business called "Dynamic Marketing" ( etc etc ) and have an account setup specifically for that business entity. He could then go and set another if he so wished.

    make sure you follow their guidelines and you should be ok. I asked google a question once and they slapped me from selling water fuel kits. Only to find many others kept on selling their water fuel kits. go fiqure I keep thinking, If only I hadn't brought attention to myself I could still be in business. Live and Learn.

    me too, and it cause me some problems although didn't cause me Google problems:

    AFAIK you can only have one Adsense acct and one Adwords acct. (I don't do adwords right now so I don't know how up to date that is, haven't had to pay for placement since 2004)

    now you can have as many google accts, gmail accounts as you want but you can only have ONE adsense acct.

    Google's gonna tie em all to you anyway. Eventually that is.

    I consolidated all mine into my main (1st gmail acct)

    Only reason I had multiples in the first place was because I'm an author on addiction and substance abuse. I figured that my local SEO clients would possibly freak out.

    that turned out not to be the case, all of my business clients know everything about my addiction counseling, my fall from grace and my comeback and they could care less... what they DO care about is me getting them multiple top spots in Google for the keywords that put money in their cash registers.
