Hi all,

This is my first visit to WebmasterWorld in 2007. Best wishes and best revenue to all Adsense Publishers here.

After visiting this forum, my revenue now is around 5$ a day with 100 daily visitors. Great thanks to all for your help.

Today, I am corncerned about the question: Whether we should put all "eggs in one basket"? I mean that we create one website, try SEO,..blah, blah and earn money with it....OR create multiple websites, multiple Adsense accounts?

Because as you know If we put all efforts in one website, get it on top of SERs Pages, and ....one day....Google said "you are banned" for some reasons that we would never know...(Assumed all we have read TOS 100m times and follow it well)....I have seen it many times.

So....what would we do with the website without Adsense? abandon it?

Though the main aim to create a website sometimes is not to earn money from Adsense...but somehow, all we are here, in this forum, is build website to earn money from that Great stuff.

And friends, what do you think about this? will you put all of your eggs in one BASKET.

P/S: may be you find hard to understand my words....acctually, I am not an English Native..so I cannot make it clearer.!

Rgrds,

Kurt

Welcome back, Kurt.

You really cannot have more than one Adsense account. An exception could be made, if you have one as a "personal" account, and a second as a "business" account. However, if you get banned on one account, it is likely that Adsense will ban your second account as well. It will not take long for them to find out you are the "same person."

Your best plan would be to diversify your advertising merchants beyond Adsense. If you live in the US, you can apply for the Yahoo Publisher Network, which is similar to Adsense (you cannot run the ads on the same pages as Adsense). You can also look into various affiliate programs to put on your pages as well.

create multiple websites, multiple Adsense accounts

This is against TOS unless you asked Google and they allowed. Even if Google allowed multiple accounts (sometimes happen) they would get banned altogether.

will you put all of your eggs in one BASKET

Never put all of your eggs in one basket, as it is advised multiple times on this forum.

So....what would we do with the website without Adsense? abandon it?

It depends. Would you abandon the website if it is your hobby site for example? Think no.
Anyway you could put ads from other providers, like YPN, adbrite, etc. Just look through the PPC forum, [webmasterworld.com...]

Hi gamiziuk,

Thanks for your reply....however, the topic above is what I want to discuss.....My Adsense account is still good, I have read TOS over 100 times, and I am sure that I am going along well with it..and of course I will never breach it...Adsense is my hope and future so how crazy I am to Get myself out of the field..!

Thanks,

Kurt

Adsense is my hope and future

Putting all your eggs in one basket does not only mean having just one site, it means depending too much on one source for your income.

While one site might not be the perfect plan in the long run, it is a good idea to create income from a range of sources for at least your main site, preferably from all of them.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a solid relationship with Google. It is not just individuals that do it - companies like ours with Google income in six figures do it. It keeps people on payroll.

Remember that Google is a good, honest (public) company and if you are a good, honest publisher, there is nothing to fear.

Having said that, you have to manage your risk. Like Enron, what if Google goes out of business?
