Removing Adsense....Can it hurt your SERPS?

AS is sucking big time on one of my sites lately.ECPM is wayyyyyyyyyy down and I am thinking of replacing them completely.
I read somewhere that if you remove AS it is possible that your site can drop down in Google SERPs (probably an urban myth but need to be sure)
Any info on this guys?
Thanks

I don't think so.
I have two similar sites, and are ranked #1 and #2 on Google SERPs for a popular keyword.
#1 is a PR5 site (many backlinks) using Adsense
#2 is a PR3 site (few backlinks) with no Ads

 

Adsense has nothin to do with your serps.

 

Google will tell you it is an urban myth; but hey their business model is to make money by selling ads!
How could they encourage that?

 

But i put many adsense ads who didn't get high ranking

 

Thanks guys.I will look for an alternative.

 

I do not think adsense has something to do with your search results

 

You don't lose Your serps don't worry

 

Adsense does not affect your serps.

 

there 2 complete different things. So don't worry taking out your adsense will not affect SERP.

Try TribalFusion for forums, if you can get in.

 

You'll need to generate a ton of pageviews on your forums if you wish to get accepted. I think its around 50,000 daily pageviews.

 

AS is javascript and not included in keywords

 

less ads => less javascript code => more SE friendly => better serp rankings..

I guess... lol
