has anyone noticed that placing the adsense code on your website, it could affect your rankings? (I know G is denying it)
i wouldn't see how this would benefit google... if anything the should increase your rank... after all more clicks to your banner, more $$$ for G...
No, it would shoot their own foot if they sent traffic to you just because you have their ads. If someone were to prove that happens, or even if there was a rumor about it, their main business would go down the tubes. Most likely, it has no affect whatsoever, and even more likely, they work hard to keep it that way.
