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?

Find My Missing AdWords Conversions! (my white whale)
Hello! I hope someone can help shed some light on this issue for me because I have searched far and wide for answers to no avail. So, without further ado, here goes... The destination URL's in our AdWords ads are affiliate redirects with "Google" as the Affiliate Code. Since our products are according to license, we have different price points for the same item number. We cannot get accurate earnings through AdWords. The affiliate redirect records the Google conversion in our store which gives us the ability to associate a dollar amount with conversions as well as compare the number of conversions against what is stated in the AdWords interface. The problem is that AdWords consistently shows significantly more conversions than our store's affiliate code reflects. For example: AdWords Conversions for March 2013: 31 Store Orders Showing Google Affiliate ID for March 2013: 19 So judging from those numbers it looks like 12 conversions were lost from AdWords reporting to the reporting in our online store. I have checked and double checked that our destination URL's are uniform in their formatting and have the appropriate "Google" affiliate code, so they should be recorded. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this? Is it possible that our affiliate cookie is somehow being dropped as the user is redirected to the landing page via the destination URL? 12 conversions is a pretty significant difference and since those conversions seem to be getting lost on the way to our store, that's revenue that i'm not able to add to determine the true ROI of the effort. Can anyone help?

Will giving a blogger an affiliate url to my site reduce her links' seo value to me?
If a blogger were to write a post about one of my products and link to my product page, would giving her an affiliate url to link to rather than the normal link spoil the seo value of the link? So instead of mysite.com/product-one it would be mysite.com/affiliate/blogger/product-one Google would think... this is a transaction not a vote of confidence?

How to use different affiliate link based on geolocalisation in a Seo friendly way ?
Hi All, My website Sportytrader.com http://www.sportytrader.com/ works as an sport betting affiliate website on the french language markets. With sport betting legalisation in Europe, only people from France can play on french sport betting website. The same for Belgium or swiss. We have traffic from everywhere. So we need to geolocalize all our affiliate links to provide the right affiliate link to the right person in function of his location? What is the best way and the more seo friendly way to do that? Thanks a lot, Renaud
