I've heard that Adsense doesn't like spouses to have separate accounts. I don't know why. I don't even know if its true.

My husband and I had never heard of this when we each joined up (and didn't see it in the TOS)

But since we have different surnames and different addresses (he always uses his Post Office address for everything) I've no way of knowing whether it would be a problem if we were obviously 'domestic partners'.

I understand the approved way to have multiple Adsense accounts is to register multiple companies. That would be expensive in Australia, because of company reporting requirements.

I've also heard that owning multiple registered business names is sufficient to open multiple Adsense accounts - I haven't tried this though, & don't know if this is really sufficient - after all, unlike with a company, you'd still be the legal entity

Anyone tried any of these routes?
