I have a friend and his living in the same house with me.
We are not related, we have just the same adress.( room mate)

His account with google adsense was disabled long time ago.

Today google send me :
"Your AdSense account was found to be related to an account previously
disabled for invalid click activity and we have therefore disabled your
account."

What can i do.
It is 1 account per person or per household?

email Google and explain the situation.

I don't know how responsive they will be but you may stand a chance of being one of few to get your account re-instated son long as you really haven't done anything fraudulent like clicking your own ads

Did you help your buddy out by placing your account on his banned sites?

Somebody says that i should made another account on the name of somebody of my family.
But if they will disable again the accoun because " i am related with....."
It sucks

No, I used a different site ( my own site), he used some free page hosting.

You ask them by saying you want to buy somename.com but want to make sure it isn't banned.

If you feel you got banned wrongly, you should be spending time appealing, not looking for ways to get back in.

I suspect you got no chance.

You have a banned account on one hand, and you have the same person (from google's tracking perspective), managing and accessing another adsense account from the exact same place as the previously banned one.

Even if they did buy your story, your association is unlikely to get you re-instated.

Leosghost, what do you mean by

and you stipulate that it isn't as a condition of purchase

?

Wouldn't it be 99% of times a "condition of purchase"?
Of coruce your intetest in a domain/site changes if you cannot put adsense on it...

He means to add it into the purchase contract as a specific guarantee that the owner gives you.

Stipulation would be making the sale CONTINGENT on a reply from Google.

Write google and ask them if the domain is clean BEFORE you waste your money and BEFORE you stick AdSense on the site and lose your account.

Sheesh.

Sounds scary actually. If I have multiple corporations at the same address, if one is banned, the rest is also? I thought they're considered different entities?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think this has anything to do with his domain.

Google is not stupid. They know your IP address and the addresses of where you live and where your roommate lives. And of course they are the same. They are being careful by banning both accounts... Also, if you try signing up with one of your relatives names they will know you are related and you are just trying to cheat Google...

Your best bet is to just write them back and tell them the situation. If they don't re-accept you, find another advertising company.

Google retains the right to ban anyone from the program that they suspect is defrauding AdSense, or even if the possibility exists. If the costs are too high to monitor a suspicious account and the income from that account isn't enough to justify that cost, then it makes business sense for Google to ban all accounts from the same address.
