Can you have 2 adsense accounts

If you have a corporation one, but want a personal one?

If I have incorporated a certain site and run Adsense on it, can I have a new adsense account if I decide to run a personal (not owned by the corporation) website?

I do not want to get in trouble with Google and run a personal under a corporate account, or run two if that's not allowed. What's the best way to handle this situation?

I have one for my company and one for myself, but they are completely different entities; the addresses are different, the email addresses are different, the tax IDs are different and the payees are different (and the money is direct deposited into two different accounts). If you can do all that stuff, you're probably ok. But when in doubt, email 'em and ask.

Also just to be safe, use a different ISP and computer when signing up or logging into your account.

I don't bother with that myself.

Nor me.

Different bank accounts and different payee names seems to be all that is required. But do ask Google first.

Not needed.
I think the biggest factor is unique tax ID. Even if same address,

Well the tax ID would be different if it was mine vs the corporation. My name is still on the corporation account, though... would that be a problem?

I'll contact G. The reason I want the new site under a personal account is because while it is not an adult site, I'm worried it might trigger as such (because of words like "sex", "intimacy", "relationship", etc.) So if this site gets in trouble, I wouldn't want my corp. website to have problems.
I don't think I will have any problems at all considering similar sites run G ads, but I want to be safe.

I have several (3) accounts, with full knowledge and approval from Google. I emailed them a support question explaining my reasons, their response was prompt, courteous, and to the point: all they require is separate tax ids.

I contacted them and they said it was fine, with separate tax ID. So now I have 2 accounts with Adsense.

Absolutely unnecessary.
I worked in a company where everyone had an account and they were being accessed from all computers.
