Do I understand correctly that Google will try to punish you (or the other party) if you host links in exchange of money but that Google is doing it in its search results ? (And I receive from time to time unsolicited regular paper mail from Google so that I advertise my enterprise through them.)
Page Rank is a neat idea, but making everyone listening to Google so that Page Rank remains meaningful is stupid. What do you do if suddenly Google thinks Twitter or Facebook are to be considered spammy link farms (which would be true) ? Do you ask everyon to delete their tweets linking to you ?
- Matt_Cutts 12y agoGoogle's ads don't flow PageRank and thus don't affect search engines.
- aaronwall 12y agoDo they (along with the personalization aspects of the relevancy algorithms) boost aggregate awareness & CTR - which in turn further drive rank? A look at Ask.com's history on a tool like SEMrush makes this line of thinking rather compelling.
