Does Google Penalize for Managing multiple Google Places from the same IP Address? Can you manage from same google account or separate? Or does it matter since it's created from the same IP?

I manage a number of client's Google Places from the same IP and heard this is not a good thing.  Are there Do's and Don'ts when managing multiple Google Places?  Create separate google accounts for each or can you use the same account?

I would manage seprate clients on seprate gmail accounts or separate client based emails.

If you part ways with the client and then all the Google places is loaded up to one account it is not wise at all.

Same IP address is fine in my experience, just so long you are not registering multiple accounts for the purpose of writing reviews on your own Google Places.

I always create separate Google accounts for each clients Google Places page (unless they have multiple offices), my theory is if Google ever deleted my account by mistake or I lost a password or got locked out then i would not lose all my clients Google Places pages tied to that account.
