CPALead and SEO / Google Rankings

    Has anyone experienced your organic rankings on google drop after you've had CPALead on the page that is indexed in google?

    For example - i rank #2-#5 for free clipart pictures on google and i've added the cpalead.com gateway to my site. Do you think eventually I will be de-ranked or dropped? Has anyone experienced something like this?

    Thanks

    Keep an eye on your bounce rate . you don't want it going too high . If it does google might drop your rankings !

    Hi,

    It does not directly effect your google rankings. The CPAlead gateway is a piece of javascript which the Google Bot cannot understand, so google dont actually know that the content is locked.

    However, dude91 does make a good point. Although it hasnt been confirmed, it has been said that things like user engagement, time on site and bounce rate could play a part in your rankings. But this is just speculation, although it would make sense that sites with a lower bounce rate provide a better experience to users.
