Hi,
I have a number of adwords vouchers and im currenlty using them on my website. The touble is im opening a new account then using the voucher up and closing the account without continuing with the payment after the "voucher period" and paying afer. Im just opening another account and using antoher voucher.

The trouble is can my domain name be blacklisted from google for this as obviously i am using the same url for each account i open up. Will google get wise?!

I know you can be banned from google for adsense clicking on your webiste and trying to climb up the search ranks to quickly with thousands of dodgy backlinks.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

All i am doing is using up my free vouchers then opening a new account, i dont owe any money to google so i cant see im breaking any rules.. Is there any past evidence of anyone being banned or blacklisted due to simliar circumstances?!

Thanks for all your help

ddss, as I read your posts it seems that you already have an inkling that what you're doing is not really the right thing to do.

I'd advise following your instincts in this case. That said, I am not aware of a way in which this could affect your site within the unpaid search results.

On the other hand, the AdWords team may look upon multiple abandonded accounts with disfavor.

Thanks for getting back to me, nice advice you have to offer!
I think i will start to do things by the book, i cant see anything majorly wrong with it but google may get funny!

Thanks again
