Didn't Google get itself into this mess by claiming years ago that slow ads don't affect ranking? And then also giving speed small weight in ranking?

- SquareWheel 9y agoHere's a post from 2012 that talks about downgrading rank for sites that have too many ads. https://search.googleblog.com/2012/01/page-layout-algorithm-improvement.html https://search.googleblog.com/2012/01/page-layout-algorithm-...
- guy98238710 9y agoThat link is not so much about speed as it is about low quality content. I cannot find supporting link now, but as I remember SEO sites echoed info from Google many years ago that including reasonable ads won't damage ranking even if it slows the page down somewhat.
