Four Ads on Top: The Wait Is Over
Blog Post: February 19, 2016
  • Sathya Shankara

    This is not good for Google users. Need scroll down to see organic results. Above the fold of the page covered with full of ads for competitive keywords means Google will disturb users with Ads instead of showing relevent organic listings

    Marketing point of view:

    For a competitive keyword if Google showing 4 results on the top means they will gain ~~64% of the CTR. This is good for Google but not good for website owners as well as visitors.

    My opinion: Google should keep Ads only in Side and bottom of SERP. If they show 4 ads on the top, then they violate core purpose of there search engine

    Below line I found in Google About section

    "#1: Focus on the user and all else will follow."

    Now they are focusing on Ads insted of user and expecting money will follow them

    Think about your business. Before creating any link you should know "If i create a link in this website does it add any value in terms of Bringing right audience/Right customers. If some one sees your link are they going to get some relevant information in your page which they expected before click ? If Yes forget NOFOLLOW DOFOLLOW !!! Just add your link. If users likes the link means search engines will definitely love the link. @ Nicole-- Thanks very nice article..

    One more thing, i need your opinion for this statement--"You should be very careful while creating/Earning Dofollow links... If you are earning/creating a Dofollow link from low quality site then it can harm your SEO. But If you are building Nofollow link from low quality website it will not harm you " Please share your views on this
