Like any greedy person :), I want to advertise them both at the same time on the same keywords. (and hey, there's few other advertisiers so no one realy loses out).
As far as I understand Adwords will only place 1 ad from anaccount on any SERPS, even if you have multiple campaigns targeting the same keywords.
So the only way to do this is to set up a second account. But I'm going to have to hide this from Google, as it's frowned on by them and is what scummy people do who want to crowd out the competition with multiple ads for one site.
My question is:
How far do I have to go to hide this?
I can use a different employees company credit card, with a different cardholder address.
Searching old posts I saw something I think from Vibygor that he had been doing this and got into trouble, as they had detected multiple accounts were being accessed from one computer (presumably by IP address) and reckoned her was being scummy until a human investigated it and decided his accounts were legitimately for separate businesses.
Has anyone else had any sucess persuading Google to let them open up a second account (or in hiding a second account from them)?
It seems if you do it above board, and make the accounts and advertise with different company names, G doesn't care.
The sneakier you try to get, I think the more suspicious G gets. If you have legitimate reason (although I hate the fact one company can have multiple sites for the same keywords), just tell G what they are and see what they say.
If you try to get around it by hiding it, I'd bet you'll be posting here in 2 weeks saying G disabled all your accounts and asking how to get back into adwords.
With a limited number of spaces available, this is simply not fair to your competitors - most of whom also want to appear towards the top of the first page.
So I don't think they mind you having two accounts, tehy just can't ever be seen to do so in pubblic.
Do you think that 1000s of shady folks aren't already abusing this?
Good Luck!
