Having more than one adsense account(like more than one registered LLC) and switching the publisher code to use another account when one gets smart priced?

For this to work two things would have to be true:

1. Google doesn't smart price by domain/site but only by adsense account

2. They allow you to switch the adsense account that will run on a particular site

If this is an obvious stupid thought process, excuse me. I'm still a n00b.
 


You could probably do it one or two times until they caught on... but in reality if the site you are switching to the new adsense account got smart priced it will get smart priced again wit the new account.... so why?

And yes, google lets you put diff. pubID for the same site. Just think what people do when they sell sites.

Because I read on here that smart pricing comes and goes and that it applies to an adsense account(account wide) and not just a particular site. Someone suggested using another network while you're being smart priced. But I thought, why not just alternate adsense pubID's? Of course this means you're willing to have at least two accounts be smart priced. It would also depend on the alternating pubID's not having smart pricing applied to them during the same exact periods(although they would at least overlap some, I'm sure).
Even if this would sort of work, I think you're right, Google is probably too smart for this to work for any length of time.

Doh!
I didn't even consider this when I asked the question.
 
That sounds like a good way to get multiple accounts smartpriced.

If you're not going to eliminate the reason why you got smartpriced, what's the point of switching accounts?
 
I guess I should have used the arbitrage icon for the thread. From reading the threads here it seems that getting smart priced is just a part of doing arbi.
But yeah, it was a dumb idea, just thought I'd throw it out there and make sure that it was.
