Can I use a proxy, different computer, and a relative's address and put it on my site? I got banned probably ten years ago as a teenager for invalid click activity. Now I'm a grown up and regret every decision I made. I haven't had a site in ten years and now I have a blog that I write on for the love of the subject. I figure if I can cover hosting costs I'm happy.

So basically if I use a proxy, different computer, a relative's name and address, and a different website ten plus years later do you think I'll be okay? Or is it not even worth it?

Should be ok if you change everything including your email/phone. Make sure not to log on to any of your old Google accounts from the same computer/IP.

I hope so. I've been missing out on some money due to using bad ppc programs. There's nothing like Adsense.

Good luck! lol, I'm pretty much on the same boat as you :') let me know how it goes!

I do not think it is adviceable to use the same website where your adsense account get banned. They might end up tracing and banning you again.
Probably you need to start afresh.

It is not the same site. In fact this is 10 years later on a completely different site

Then, definitely. Just make sure you don't use the same personal info.

Do you really think Google sits down and monitors IP's? Google doesn't care where you log in from, it's the register information on the website which they use to check against banned users.

Simply put, change the register information no a website and you'll be fine. Usually a good idea to change it to the person who has opened an Adsense account on your behalf. Even if the site was one that got you banned. As long as the site is within Googles TOS then nothing will happen.

I think Google can find a connection between your old account and your new account if you log in from the same computer and that just gives them another reason to ban your account. You can never be too cautious, especially lately when everybody's complaining about their accounts getting banned.

No they don't, I have no idea who started this stupid rumor but it's only that. What happens if someone logs into an account from a net cafe which could have had people signing into any Google account which could have a banned Adsense account? Not to mention people who tap into free wifi connections from businesses and cafes. Google know's there are alot of variables which can contribute to users. Change the user registration on the website owned by the banned user and you'll be fine.

Great info. Thanks for this post. I feel more confident doing this now! Hopefully I can make some loot!

Maybe it was closer to 7-8 years ago but it was some time for sure.

use your real name, just spin your address.
