Does PPC add to link popularity

I have read articles that sometimes a bot will follow links from ppc ads influencing backlinks etc. Whether it's intentional or not seems to be the question, it could very well be by accident. I think it's pretty obvious that no matter how good they think their algorithms are that they still make mistakes quite often.

thanks every one who answered the the real question now is how and why are these links ocuring. I know when I clicked on a few of the pages it showed my link as being placed. The page was a parked domain with nothing on it but adsense ads. Yet a few of the others where random sites with in my niche with adsense for content. I will have to look more into this. It very well may be a way to exploit the system and make any site rank higher just because of the ppc campaigns. On another not to. I have only noticed this with google adwords and not yahoo adbrite or any of the others yet. Since most of my campaigns start with only google. Then if profitable I will expand out to others liike msh yahoo adbrite and the huge list of ppc services

Might have happend more back then but I started a brand new site. When I started my ad campaign the day after finishing. I started building back links. How ever I know I had personally only commented on about 10 blogs and made about 5 forum post. So that should have only been 15 total back links from the first day. Not a single one of these back links showed up when I check my link pop. How ever it showed I had over 1300 current backlinks. As I stated not a single one of those back links was a back link to the blogs or forums I posted a reply comment or started a trend at. So I think there is something to this we are not told by google or anyone else. Also now that I have stopped my ppc campaign I currently only have around 100 total back links. Also since I stopped my ppc campaign I have been sliding down the ranks for highly searched keywords. This took a few days for it to now be on page 4 or 5 still not bad but does not get me any traffic being that far back. So I am going to see if there is really something to this. I will be running this one more day with out my ppc. Then tom I will be starting my PPC campaign again. Just to see if this brings me back up to the front page. If this does this means I will be able to target all the extremely low priced keywords in my niche. Using only content match setting my bid price down to say 25cents. Then any site using that key word at all or anything close to it should build me a backlink thus in turn increasing my ranking so that I can target the High priced keywords with organic searches instead of a ppc campaign. Does anyone else careto test this out with me. We may be able to make a heafty profit from a book or another traffic resource website.

Could it be scraper sites that copy other sites where your ads are displayed? I have seen many sites that list the AdSense ads as part of their (scraped) content.

no as I said this was a completely new site that was not even indexed yet which was the reason behind the ppc. Shortly after it was indexed 3 days after being complete. I ran a check for link pop which showed I had over 1k backlinks to my site. 2 days later the organic search traffic began. I was kitting some of the highest saterated key words. These key words had over 200k exact match competitors. Yet I was listing as either the #1 spot or some where on the front page. For the same keyword 3 days prior it is now on the 4th or 5th page. With only 60 total backlinks at the presesnt. I do still show one ppc back link even though the ppc campaign has not been active now for around 8 days.

well we are about to find out there 100% chris. I know ppc is supose to be just that ppc but can you explain the excessive back link change in only a few days. The site and blog at present only have 70 total backlinks. I will not be blog commenting, forum replying, or any other ways I was ceating backlinks before. I will simply start back up my adsense ad campaign. If in a few days I have over 500 backlinks I know this is a way to build back links just to rank higher for organic searches.

Which as I stated as well. If this is the case I will target every .05 cpc keyword for my niche. Then switch my main keywords on the site and blog to the ecessivly higher cpc keywords which have alot more competion. We will see in a few days guys I am testing. If someone else would like to test this please feel free to report here on this. It takes 2 or more people to prove a strategy.

Most sites do not use straight html anymore. They are php format for the most part now a days. Which I know that most sites like a few of mine place google ads in there own php file. Which would make it search able by google. If these google ads are not in a script form they will e tracked.

Ok here is my finding so far. As I stated earlier before I started my ppc campaign again. I only had 70 backlinks I checked this through out multiple sources all held true to the 70 backlinks. I started the ppc campaing and depending on the backlink checking tool I use. One shows 1000k backlinks while if I use seocentro to check these backlinks. It contiues to show only 70 backlinks.

So I am not sure how this is showing backlinks but My organic has been increasing dayly as well. I am getting search results from keywords Related to my page that I was not even trying to target. How ever these keywords are in my ad campaign for google. And as some may be saying bs I made sure it was not from a ppc and from an organic search. It does show me both with analytics.

Yes, that is true no direct impact, but certainly there is an indirect impact on organic search just as there is with any type of effective advertising. Marketing is a very dynamic process you need to consider the various ways that synergy is created.
