		<description>Hi All,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Interested in this post and Vinnys findings. We have experimented with htis over a number of years and have not found paid search spend influencing organic rankings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;d be interested to know what sort of spend was placed on promoting this page as well as the competativeness of the phrase (maybe too much to ask ;)). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It would be great to have more examples. If it is true (which the Incubeta guys) believe, it has major consequences.</description>

		<description>I have seen quite a lot of evidence to support Vinny&#039;s theory over the last year in the UK search space.    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In commercial areas the ability to attain a good CTR and maintain PPC expenditure is often an indicator that the web site / company has a compelling offering. As a result I think it makes perfect sense for Google to factor this in to the organic algo to some degree.</description>

		<description>Google has always maintained that purchasing PPC listings will not help your organic ranking, and as John and Vinny point out I think that what is going on is that they are not directly related.  came across this that helps explain some of the factors:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seobook.com/archives/001939.shtml&quot;&gt;http://www.seobook.com/archives/001939.shtml&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I agree with John&#039;s points.  Chris, it&#039;s definitely not personalized search - I checked on my PC and it wasn&#039;t the one running the campaign, and the search volume was quite high on that keyword so I don&#039;t think it was impacted.  We did check links back and there were not any.</description>

		<description>Maybe it has something to do with the traffic that was generated by the PPC campaign?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, maybe it had to do with personalized search. Did you and your client remember to log out of any Google accounts before searching the keyword?</description>
