Need Pro Advice for Adwords

Okay, taking steady steps to starting my 2011 SEO Keyword campaigns but I hit a snag and need some advice...

I have a few programs that need Adwords to function properly. I have a main account, but I've seen people say that you should use multiple Adwords accounts for this type of thing.

I'm kind of in the dark at the moment on how to sign up for new accounts, like how do you skirt passed the security account confirmation issues? Do you use family information or just made up junk? Etc.

Insight and tips about this process would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The safest way is to install a virtual machine on your computer (I use Parallels and I have a Mac). Setup a separate operating system there and ONLY EVER browse to adwords through that. Never anything else. This way there can't be ANY cookies overlapping. Then, signup with a different credit card. The address doesn't usually cause issues, and neither does the name, but change "Road" to "Rd" or "Rd." and use your middle initial, etc.

That should be enough. Just be sure to only ever use that one account.

Need a slight clarification; am I still able to look at my original Adwords account on my original operating system?

So I would then use my original Adwords account when I'm on my original Operating System, and then my other Adwords account would only be used if I'm logged onto Virtual Machine, correct?

Or should I only log in to all my Adwords account on the virtual system only?

Are I.P.'s an issue? Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks!

Discussed this in PM with him, just thought everyone else should see as well.

Yep, you got it. You can still log into the original account on your original OS. The idea is just to make sure NOTHING overlaps (IPs, cookies, flash cookies, any other google trickery). Also don't login to any associated google site with that account on the wrong machine - not just adwords.

And yeah, I forgot to mention use a different IP. I recommend the hidemyass VPN.

Never hurts to purchase a cheap VPS and use that. Most of the accounts I have created work doing that.
