Maybe this rule is not applicable in all countries but if you’re based in India, never create multiple Adsense accounts for the same postal address. Here’s an excerpt from the Adsense rule book:

“Multiple accounts held by the same individual or entity are subject to immediate termination unless expressly authorized in writing by Google (including by electronic mail)”.

If you are using this feature, you must add all your sites on the allowed site list otherwise the page impressions and clicks will appear but no revenue will be rewarded to you.

28. Sometimes you might have observed that the page impressions and page views are not same for your blog.
