Reinstating a banned adsense account?

Hey everyone,

My adsense account was disabled for adsense arbitrage around october last year.

As everyone knows, Google went all-out against MFA sites mid last year. I tried appealing to them around that time but to no avail.

Since then, I've sold a few of those sites (that previously had my banned adsense on them). The new owners switched over to their own adsense codes, and it seems fine. They stuck on there for over a year without ban.

I was wondering if I should try to apply to adsense again - using a different family member's name. I just switched my ISP recently so my IP address will be different as well. This time, I have no intent of doing MFA but I was wondering if Google will still ban after I hit $100?

Anyone have any experience with this to share? I was thinking maybe after 1 year, they've relax a little bit?

Umm, if you have another credit card, and you use and employee identification number instead of your social security .... you should be fine bro. google takes themself so seriously

I dont think they will allow you to start new account with same name. You must follow their TOS. They are smarter than us. But still you can have adsense account with another family member too.

Yea if you have a new ip address and someone else's name and SSN you should be fine. No way to really link the old and new account.

I had the same ban last year around September when they layed the ban hammers for MFA sites. I didn't have enough time to change all my redirects.

I recently contacted Google asking to allow me back into the network and I had to exchange a few e-mails but they basically told me to re-signup and now I'm back in.

What kind of volume were you doing last year? Just to clarify, I was doing a little less than $1k/day with adsense last summer.

Definetly tru to resign up with your own info, if a no-go, do like the others have suggested and sign up with anothers name and info.

It has been my experience that google likes quick responses to their emails and requests. Keep that in mind

The hard part is getting an American address. Knows where to rent one cheap? The kind that you pay per mail rather than per month?
