Is AdWords revenue the reason for the Florida Update?

[Jon_King]

Many, many commercial companies are no longer highly ranked making them buy AdWords; and with few commercial companies highly ranked searchers must click AdWords.

I'm not aspiring to some conspiracy theory just good business growth. I mean really, hasn't this update been a boon for Google's AdWords revenue?

Of course it has. Whether the goal was to increase revenue before the IPO or to eliminate spammy sites from the SERPs, the results are the same.
