That guy was banned daily, but always back the very next day. And he was ranked for multiple artistes names - wonder how much bank he must have made then :) I'm probably gonna try this myself, but on different accounts, cards, and hosting.

You <i>could</i> get a bunch of those pre-paid visas, and register them online to different names/addresses, and get multiple vps accounts at various hosts and setup a private proxy server on them. Register the cards to the general location of the proxy ip that you will use it on, and always use that proxy to log into that specific ppc account. Only issues there is that your cc's you buy will most likely run in a pretty close range, and the ip you're surfing on will be owned by a web host. Could be an issue, but considering the other options... seems like the safest way. It takes a good amount of discipline and planning to pull this off safely.

Awesome post, Chad! I could see this being a great way to split test your copy in a way to get better at writing copy, if that makes sense.

Of course this requires more work, but hey if you want to differentiate yourself you need to put in the time. I know of one affiliate who grosses $200k+ month consistently (all PPC) who is pretty well dominating the sponsored results for his niche... he's got 3 different domain names out there that I see.. But all his LP's look almost identical... and I just did an nslookup on the names and they all resolve to the same IP... He's asking for trouble! …which is an awesome idea!
