If I understand correctly, once a webmaster is accepted by Google, there's nothing to prevent him from putting ads on as many different websites as he chooses to.

I have been running Adsense ads on my website for many months.

I am now starting work on a second website. I would prefer that there be no way to determine that the same person owns both sites.

Is there a way to make it impossible to tell that both sites have same owner? I assume that even if I use different "channels" for the two sites there is still other identifying code that would be the same in the Adsense ads on both sites. Is this true and is there any way around it?

If someone really wanted to know who made both sites, they could always track it back to you.
Mr. Google will obviously know as it is the same AdSense account.
From an adsense perspective, the only real way to not give yourself away as the same person through adsense is to open a 2nd account (Not allowed), or use somebody elses.
Why would you not want anyone to know its the same person though?

You could also Unicode the script, that would put off all but the truly forcefull. It would just look like load of rubbish.

I've told lots of folks at my workplace that I own and operate site A. But I don't care to have them know about site B. It's nothing illegal or immoral, but it's something somewhat related to my work and something slightly controversial that isn't appropriate for the workplace discussion.

And I assume that the web-savvy folks where I work might be curious if I own site B and could be able to look at the tracking code in Adsense on A and see that it's the same as on B.

Depending on how much you earn this may or may not be a worthwhile idea... but, you can setup a company and open a new Adsense account in the company name.
