Google Bans Sites OR Publishers

[domingo]

I have been banned in the past. At that time I was operating a different site. Now I would like to apply for another site, my question is do they ban site, or do they ban publisher.

Both

Also your address, your spouse, brother and sisters, friends (means if you will try to get an account in your family name on any site which has close relation with your banned site); your pc as well as any site which has close relationship with your banned site.

Site => content and url

Don't they also record your Social Security number? wouldn't you have to use a diff one?

They should. So as they also should provide your data to Overture so your online cheating meets his end...

Your account gets banned - that means all of your sites AND you as a person get banned. Also, anyone associated with you. How they define associated seems to allow them flexibity, but clearly they really mean to crack down hard on anyone that gets booted.

I don't know how likely it is that ad networks share blacklists like credit agencies here do, but if I were Yahoo or whoever I'd be very keen to know if new sign-ups have been ejected from other programs. I'd imagine they are trying to find out this info - or at least that's what I'd be doing if I were them.

You are assuming that every web publisher in the world lives in the United States...the rest of us don't have to give our social security numbers as we are not covered by the same tax regime.
