Multiple Adwords Account

Not Double Serving

I've requested a keyword limit extension but never heard back.

I'm thinking of opening a second Adwords account. Does that violate Google TOS if I don't purposely double serve? I'd send traffic to the same URL from both accounts. Each account, though, would have completely different keywords.

Of course, double serving on broad match can always happen by accident. One account could serve for keyword Widget, and the other could serve for keyword Green Widget assuming the user types in Green Widget.

Any experience on mutliple accounts? I don't want to get banned.

Thanks!

Hi Corey - The answer to your prayers is an "MCC", or My Client Center.

Some benefits:


* Easily view up to 1,000 linked AdWords accounts, including other client manager accounts, via the My Client Center view.
* See relevant information for all linked AdWords accounts in one place.
* Run reports across multiple client accounts at once or download the client "dashboard" into a .csv file.
* Use a single login to access all AdWords accounts.
* Create AdWords accounts and link them to this master account.

The child accounts are recognized by Google as belonging to the same parent - and if multiple accounts serve the same advertiser - you avoid even unintentional double-serving because only one ad will run from the group.

On a related note, I understand you can manage multiple accounts using a single login, but when I tried opening a second account the system asked me for a login email specifically for that account too. I don't mind creating say a hotmail address to use for the new account, but does it violate any Google TOS if two different accounts with two different emails (albeit linked in one MCC) are actually owned by the same user?

Thanks Poster_Boy. How do you open one?

Really hard to get to the long tail with 50,000 keyword limit!

How do you open one?

Sign up to join the Google Advertising Professionals program. Once you enroll, you should be granted an MCC.

does it violate any Google TOS if two different accounts with two different emails (albeit linked in one MCC) are actually owned by the same user?

Not at all... you actually cannot have the same email for two log-ins.
