Will adwords affect organic traffic?

    I have been running a modest ($1/day) adwords campign for my website which is slowly growing to more and more organic clicks from google. I am increasing about 20 - 30 uniques a day on organic. I decided to experiment with adwords more and reconfigured my campaign to give me many more clicks. Will this affect organic traffic?

    Also, are adwords clicks any more or less likely to click on my own adsense? I.e - do you think this could impact clickthrough rates?

    Thanks a lot.

    Adwords doesn't affect your organic rankings or traffic at all. Its impossible to say who is more likely to click on your adsense adverts.

    hmmm. I guess thats true. I was just trying to guess-timate whether people who have clicked on an ad at google, would be more or less likely to click on an ad again. Is there any way of setting up Google Analytics such that we can track adsense clicks as goals?

    I have a feeling that adwords affects organic traffic, but I have no proof
