Hey, I am currently using free godaddy hosting for one of my sites while I am waiting for it to grow. Doing this puts a godaddy banner at the top. I was wondering if and how much this was hurting my search engine rankings. Thanks for any input. Here is an example: http://www.black-tea-benefits.com
It takes away alot focus and value from the rest of your page. Its hurting your SERPs for sure and your rankings too.
All it's really doing is giving godaddy another back link... there's plenty of free hosts who don't require any ads on your site
for a free hosting what do you expect, but yes just search up goole for free hostings with no adds. grow weed
Hey Arti Rahmati when are you going to finish your weed growing website But to get on topic, it won't hurt SEO but it will hurt your website by having an ugly banner stating free hosting What would you think if ebay had a free hosting banner on there website?
there are many webhosting offer you FREE without ads or banners. but i suggest you buy your own, it won't cost much.... actually, a good hosting shall not cost more than 1$ a week... having webhosting is a great thing, coz u have full level of control over your website and of course SEO related issues.
I don't think that having forced ads impacts SEO but it definitely impacts visitor's impression of your site.
i got lots visitors for it from DG i changed it to be just a php practise site not a weed growing one, because i could not put ads on it
