Ask Jim: Does Google Favor Sites Using Adsense?

by Jim December 2, 2011

QuestionJulian Newman asked on Facebook:

Does Google favor sites that have AdSense Ads?


Answer

The answer is a resounding no. Google’s search rankings are not influenced in any way by their advertising products.

In fact if you start using AdSense a little too heavily on your site, Google will penalise your rankings for not having enough unique content on your page.

Hope that helps Julian!
