I was wondering if anyone knew if having a lot of disabled / on trial kws in one account would also negatively impact Google's "patience" with other accounts which are managed under the same Client Center.
I will explain:
I run two accounts using a single Client Center for easier access. One I use to promote my business - I have reasonably targeted keywords, which I review reasonably often. The other was an experiment in affiliate marketing (previous to the new affiliate rules that took effect in January 2005) which I was letting run its course without spending much time on it.
As it happens, about 1/3 of the keywords for the affiliate marketing account had been either disabled or put on hold / in trial. That account did not get suspended or anything. I never checked, because with the extremely low profits per ad (especially since January) it was not really worth my while to optimize keywords.
In my business account I started doing some long-due clean up, adding exact and phrase matches and removing some underperforming keywords - in short, optimizing the way Google wants.
For example, for an ad selling "Widgets" I had both "widget" and "widgets" (broad). "Widget" was disabled, so I decided to remove it and add "[widget]" instead. I thought this would make Google happy, instead it immediately put [widget] on hold (I never used the exact match before on that keyword, mind you).
"On hold" - not "on trial". I checked and there were no keywords "on trial" in that account.
There were however plenty of keywords on hold, on trial, and disabled in the other account I was managing.
Could bad performance in one account influence negatively Google's prejudice about my other account?
Or rather, could it be that Google considers that I have exhausted my "on trial" quota with the other account?
Now I deleted all the bad keywords from the affiliate account, hopefully that will restore some faith in me on the part of God-gle, but I am still puzzled.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

No worries there, delizia. The accounts within your MCC are separate entities, and what happens in one will not influence the others.
