Can a disapproved adwords ad affect SEO ranking?

[ocelot]

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?
