Adsense = Fresh Content?!

Does Adsense count as constantly changing, targeted fresh content?

I have searched and searched.

Does it?

We all know that freshness is a huge SEO factor. I put adsense to get pages crawled, but wondering if I should let it stick on.

I really break even or slightly lose money using it, so my only reason is to build up my sites with just a pinch of fresh content that I'm lacking the manpower to do.

So do search engines crawl the adsense text and links?

 

Yes they do.

 

Suh-weet. Time to go section-target and optimize.

Just one more aspect of my site to dynamically change with fresh content.

Awesome! No wonder I've seen sites rank so high on Google with only a humongous adsense block and a few links.

Oh but first, can anyone else verify that it does get crawled as TEXT? I suppose it would though... I just thought it was too good to be true.

 

No, I think most Search Engine will not read text and link from javascript and Adsense is javascript

 

See, that's what I thought.

So which is it?!?! ARRRGH.

 

I use this site http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/lynx/lynx_viewer.php to see how a page is viewed by the se. I tested a few of my sites with AdSense, and it does not appear to be visible to the SEs.

 

See, that's what I thought.

So which is it?!?! ARRRGH.

 

As far as my knowledge goes SE don't read info in Javascript. I highly doubt that your Adsense ads would be seen as content or play any role in SEO.

 

Does Adsense count as constantly changing, targeted fresh content?

I don't know. I hope it's true because I update my site very often.

 

*bump*

We've gotten yes's and no's...

Can we get some more authoratitive opinions?

I do understand it's javascript

BUT! When it actually loads I get this piece in my source with IFRAMES to an HTML which WOULD get crawled as a part of my site, right?

<iframe name="google_ads_frame" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8408999779102759&amp;dt=1150743265265&amp;lmt=1150743264&amp;format=120x240_as&amp;
output=html&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.MYSITE.com%2F&amp;color_bg=003366&amp;color_text=AECCEB&amp;color_link=FFFFFF&amp;color_url=AECCEB&amp;color_border=6699CC&amp;
ad_type=text&amp;cc=64&amp;u_h=1024&amp;u_w=1280&amp;u_ah=990&amp;u_aw=1280&amp;u_cd=32&amp;u_tz=-300&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_java=true&amp;u_nplug=23&amp;u_nmime=81" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="240" scrolling="no" width="120"></iframe>

Google adsense added that lovely piece that makes me think it DOES get crawled as constantly changing fresh content. (and hence with google's tremendous weight on freshness a huge bonus)

I hope some more good opinions can be had on this interesting new idea.

 

Anyone?

I even see things like {document.write("www.DirectRelief.org") in it. I'm almost certain now that Google Adsense provides constantly changing, targeted FRESH text content to pages.

And since google has increased the importance of freshness, that can be a huge advantage over a site without adsense.

 

WHICH IS IT?!

Oiy, vey. Atleast having adsense on just helped quicken my crawl time.

I know based on what we copy and paste, if the search engines only see that, it wouldn't be seen as changing fresh, relevent text content.

But if the search engines see the <iframe name="google_ads_frame"> like I do in my source code, then they most certainly DO see the changing text.

Any SE experts to opine?

I've searched all over the internet for an answer to this, and am frankly, blatantly shocked no one considers how important this could be. It means the difference between whether or not I use Adsense, for me.

why don't read the google webmaster guideline?

 

Have you guys ever heard of COMMON SENSE? You think search engines have invested 100's of millions of dollars into search technology...... just to spider the same fricken ads THEY are serving? Come on now, I know you guys must know better than that.

Also, you put Adsense on your site "just to get spidered"??? I have bad news for you. The adsense spider has NOTHING to do with your position in the SERPS.

 

The search engines can read the javascript to identify what it is but it will not count as unique content......

First of all it is not content, it's a javascript code and the code itself does not change....

So NO --- this is not going to help you...

 

Javascript is used to send instructions to a web browser ... hence the name java-script... it is not content it is programming code.

Some times if you just think things through a little you will see the logic to make proper decisions

Javascript from an SEO perspective - decent article but not earth shattering on the subject

 

Oh, yeah, what was I thinking... I knew better.

I think I accidentilly viewed the specific source of the .js somehow from my main page, and that caused the confusion... sorry.. definitely not thinking straight.

I worked literally 24 hours for 2 days... and when I saw weird code in my source I wondered what it was, and it was from the adsense. I was seeing the after-product in my source (text, etc.).

Speaking of which, is there any way for the server to dynamically generate the adsense's javascript code onto the page for each pageload? Like you can do with PHP code, etc.? That would accomplish basically the same goal.

 

According to SEO gurus, SEs don't read info in Javascript because it is a programming code.

Du'h. Thanks for the plug.

Now, can anybody answer my question?

Is there a way to get the server to pregenerate the javascript code? Via PHP would work great.

If so, could it do it dynamically for each visitor?

 

of course, but depends on how want it to be different for each visitor.
