Creating an AdWords Account If you're new to online advertising, the first step is to establish your advertising goals. You'll probably find it easier to build your account once you can answer these questions: •What does your company (or division) do? Do you have different product lines? What are they?•Who's your primary audience (target market) for your products and services? Do you need to reach different audiences with separate sets of keywords or ads?•What are you trying to sell or promote? What do you want people to do (buy, visit, download, subscribe)?•What results would you like to see? What would you consider a good return on your investment?

AdWords Account Guidelines In order to preserve the quality and diversity of ads running on Google, individuals advertising for themselves or for their own businesses may only have a single AdWords account unless explicitly advised otherwise by Google.

This means that we don't allow advertisers or affiliates to have any of the following:•Ads across multiple accounts for the same or similar businesses •Ads across multiple accounts triggered by the same or similar keywords
