1 single account at G\Y\MSN for multiple sites; or different accounts for each site?

Gotta say, I have never heard that theory of Christ the Astronaut... LOL I agree, deserves alm:

Yeah I believe all that started back in the 70's with Erich Von Däniken and his "Chariots of the Gods" types of books. I don't remember if he was the one that actually started [that] particular "theory", or if it was due to numerous other books spawned by his original theory. Some of his theories, evidence, and books are not all that far-fetched and unbelievable, but if he or for whomever started that one about Christ was an astronaut, that's a bit too out there for me. Oh, and another one of these alm: .

One single webmaster account at G, Y & MSN for multiple websites; or different accounts for each of your websites?

I've been wondering about this for some time so I thought I would ask here. Is there any downside or disadvantage to having one single webmaster account at G, Y and MSN for all of one's websites, then just add your various sites under that one account login, or should each of your websites have a different account? Does it make absolutely no difference either way?

Thanks for any input.

Suggest you read the guidelines for account users if you opt to use independent accounts. Some sites expressly prohibit multiple accounts for users. Several years ago, for instance, I had opened two different Adwords accounts for different clients and we were notified that multiple accounts by owners is not allowed. (I think this response is on topic but I may be missing the point in the question, if so...disregard).

So are you only talking about AdWords accounts, or also about multiple G WMT accounts? I was only asking about the WMT account. (See my 1st post above). I haven't read any TOS about them with regards to more than one account, and others in this thread are doing it, but it could be possible that is prohibited and no one ever noticed that in the TOS.

Personally, I prefer to keep all my sites under separate accounts, whether they are mine personally or client sites. I can then give access to a client if needed, and while I don't quite share your dislike of or paranoia about Google, there is no reason for me to tell them what my network is.

While there certainly is dislike, there is no "paranoia". Unless you can call not trusting them "paranoia". Thank you for the input.

Hi Clint1,
Actually, I was referring to Adsense in my post. I haven't taken the time to read any of the other TOS so I can't comment on those in particular.

Ye ye, what can I say this appears to arrange worked exceptionally positively

Most of the users prefer separate accounts but I would love to have a single account for multiple sites.
