Do i need two adsense accounts?

[jaames]

I have one website and I have one blog site. Both are totally different to each other.

Do I open two separate adsense accounts, one for each?

I actually prefer it that way, is this allowed by google?

Thanks

You are only allowed one adsense account in general.

You can put the code on any websites that you operate and track the stats using the channels feature within adsense.

So if my website is about dogs and the other about cats, adsense won't advertise the dog ads on the cat site, and vice versa?

The TOS, as far as I can see, say that only one account is allowed per person or entity. That could mean that you could have an account under your name (sole prop) and one under a corporation (if you set one up), since a corporation is a separate legal entity. You'd use your personal social security number and your EIN for the two accounts. It should be allowed, but I'm not sure it is.

Correct Jaames -

Although there are few cases where if you don't have enough content for G to decide what ad to serve, it may try to display ads that match your sites theme in general... or even the theme of your other site if the visitors have just come to it via a link from your other site.

That's right. Once the mediabot has spidered the dog site, you'll get dog ads.

If you see dog ads right after putting the ad code on the cat site, give it a bit, and after the mediabot visits the cat site, you'll see cat ads.

The ads are intended to be automatically relevant to the content (text) that is on the page.
