Anyone noticing that Google Adwords are showing up as backlinks for their site(s)?
I just happened to go out and check my backlinks for one of the sites that I have a google adwords campaign set up for and noticed that some of the backlinks were from pages where my ads showed up in the Sponsered Links from Google section. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same results.

  • Yes I have thousands of these, unfortunately however theese are typically nofollow
  • Yeah I noticed that but I'm just wondering why they still show up when I do a Google search for links:www...
  • The listings appear as backlinks but have very little benefit. You will probably notice links to your site from a variety of sites, sites that are utilizing Google AdSense, though these links are very temporary in nature.

    I hope this helps.

  • Yeah that was my thought too.

    I would assume they're not giving weight to these since that would completely go against their Content Guidelines topic regarding buying links and how it is frowned upon.
