How are websites making money?

As far as I know they are pretty much permanent. I was banned about 2-3 years ago and I have sent an appeal every year. My appeals are always rejected.

Accounts are probably attached to your identity (SSN, domain, etc.)

The only way to get another adsense account is if you form a new legal entity.

I found that the only way out of the Google perma-ban was to grow large enough to have them call you instead. Their representative - apparently surprised by the fact that my site was banned - clicked a couple of buttons and the ban was removed. The account even had the hundred dollars that was there when I was banned years earlier.

I don't want to be too specific, but the the site yields Google more than 10K USD a year -- which I guess is incentive enough. They still keep pestering me about putting more ads up, tho.
