Can a disapproved adwords ad affect SEO ranking?
-
Hi
No not used adwords before as our onsite SEO was going well - with long tail terms ranking well to product detail pages.
On Sunday we tried to set up an adwords ad as it wasgoing to be used for the forthcoming launch of a new product. - - PS Vita
I think it is being classified as a bridge page although other price comparison sites such as kelkoo and pricerunner gocompare, travelsupermarket etc all seem to get through and have ads on Google?
More interesting though is since the ad was disapproved my organic search results have disappeared? (which have all been white hat)
Coincidence perhaps or something more sinister from Google?? One for you Randfish perhaps?

No, the only reason Adwords can have somekind of an impact on Organic is when people become aware of your site and search it later using it's name. Beside that, there is no link whatsoever between Adwords and Organic.
Maybe .. Maybe if your landing page or site has a problem the Adwords Bots will report it to some team at google, but if it's the case, Googlebot would spot it some time around ... So which one did it doesn't have this much of importance.

Will do
Or could it be to do with this?
<cite>The other probable cause is the site is still quite new approx 2-3 weeks old - it started off ranking well then dropped way down for a day or two then shot back into the top 10 where it had stayed for the past week to 10 days. There has been a strong social buzz around the site so this may have influenced the ranking as well on a temporary basis?</cite>

Google disapproved ads do not effect seo rankings - Unless google found problems with your landing page and then that would effect seo and ppc because the issue is with the site itself. I would call adwords and ask them what the problem with your site is and how you can fix it.

When searching for the site is still is in the index but it has dropped like a stone when only last night it was doing really well.
They have got to be linked, but there is no reason why it should drop when some of the top 10 results are sites like below which are no different to mine?

I have heard many times that Adwords and organic SERPs are not linked in any way. I believe that in my heart.
However, my brain tells me that if Adwords detects something that it really really does not like a signal will be sent to the organic quality control.
Google has not, in my knowledge said that they do this. But if you were Google would you?

Choosing an Affiliate Software & Link SEO-Value
Hello everyone. I'm looking for recommendations for affiliate software. I'm also curious if there is any truth in the "SEO-value" that some softwares are touting as a benefit. Choosing a Software: This Moz Blog Article says to build it yourself. However, I'm inclined to use an out-of-the-box software for advanced features such as real-time analytics for the affiliate, w-9/1099 processing, etc. MozPerks promotes hasoffers.com which seems overly pricey ($230/month with perk discount) and OMNISTAR who just left me on hold for 10 minutes (and still no anwer from their sales department). So I'm still looking. Any recommendations? SEO-value of Links from Affiliates: Here's an example of what OMNISTAR claims about the SEO value of the way they structure the links from affiliate sites to my site. I hear a variation on this pitch from each software and none of them seem to agree. Does Google want me to clearly tag promotional vs. editorial links? Is there SEO-value in promotional links on affiliate sites or is that a load of bologna? Thanks a bunch!

Penny Clicks in Adwords?
I'm looking at starting a few Adwords campaigns (for search only) and targeting a niche where there is very little competition. Lets assume I get a very good CTR on my ads. How much could I expect to pay per click? Does Adwords have any minimums CPCs? Or is it actually possible to get penny clicks in Adwords?

How to prevent affiliates from bringing negative SEO?
Hi there, I'm just about to integrate iDevAffiliate network for one of my sites, however it occurred to me that affiliates may (unfortunately) resort to black hat methods without me becoming aware of it, which could pass negative link juice to my site. Is there any way to use affiliate networks such as iDev without causing this problem? I was thinking of simply using a different URL, but the problem is that 301 redirects won't mitigate the issue. Thanks!

Banner Ads Without Getting Penalised?
Hi All, Basically I have 3-4 Biggish video autoblogs that I keep tabs on and they pull videos on my niche and are actually decent quality websites they are just autoblogs as they automatically get the youtube videos. The issue is that I want to advertise my brandnew site on them as I'm selling a service in the same niche. I know that nofollow will not pass rank and should be safe but what is the absolute safest way to put banner advertisements on these sites without being penalised? I'm wanting the advertisements for advertisement purposes not link building. I'm worried about getting 10k+ links from the same domain x4 and google not only noticing that but linking the fact I own all 5 sites.. Any help would be great. Thanks

Income potencial of a website from ad platforms in terms of the daily traffic?
Hello all, I would like to have an idea of the potential monthly income for traffic generation (I mean just for visits to the website and not considering the sales of any given product or service) in a website, in the case I am using ads&marketing platforms for ads diplays. I know it can be very variable, depending on sales achieved, leads generated,etc...but just focusing on traffic on the website, what would be a reasonable figure? 1000 visits per day?= $1 dollar? 100,000 visits per day?=$??? Thank you very much for the help and support, Antonio
