does adsense account suspension affect serps?

[krissu]

hello! this is my first post here. I have a few burning questions.
I had my adsense account suspended.. now..
there are a lot of myths on the internet about this..
I understand that I can't get another account on my name or on my address anymore. I understand that I should drop the website used for the account creation. I already did that.
but the thing is that the site was hosted together with some other sites of mine on the same host.. so having the same IP. I was using a htaccess redirection so the site seemed like on its own hosting.. even if it was a subdir of another site..
SO the questions are..
1.does the ban affect sarch engine positions of the site in cause?
2.does this ban affect the search engine positions I am having on the other sites hosted on the same IP?
(cz that's what I heard)
Gee guys I really hope it's a negative :D

Account suspended for using different sites using htaccess?

Is that not allowed these days?

I can't believe that your account was suspended for redirecting a domain to a subdirectory in your .htaccess file, unless there was something else fishy going on. Redirects of "vanity domains" aren't unusual or questionable in themselves, and they often serve a useful purpose.

Maybe it's a matter of degree. Did you have many, many keyword-focused domains redirecting to another domain? It's easy to imagine that an obvious pattern of "widgetonia-real-estate.com, whatsitvile-real-estate.com, yokeltown-real-estate.com," etc. could trigger a spam alarm. And I'll bet there are any number of AdSense publishers who violate other companies' trademarks with product-specific domain names that get redirected: e.g., "microsoft-internet-suite-technical-support.com," "norton-word-product-information.com," or whatever.

As for the question of whether an AdSense account suspension will affect search rankings, the answer is probably "no" right now, but that could easily change. Googe would be foolish to let the presence or absence of AdSense ads affect its search rankings, but there's no legitimate reason why the search algorithm couldn't use an account suspension as a negative "signal of quality" if that data were available.

people.. you have obviously misunderstood me..
I wasn't saying that my account was suspended because I had many domains with htaccess redirects..
p.s. the sites don't relate to each other in any way..
It was just a description of my situation, so I can then ask if my other sites' SERPS will be affected.

P.S.2 I am distroying the site that was associated with the banned adsense account.. I will remove it completely from the google index.. and after I do that, I won't host any page for that domain..
So this site won't relate anymore in either way with any of my other sites..

in these conditions.. am I doing the right thing? will it be any help? could I consider myself escaped of these problems?

could I consider myself escaped of these problems?

I don't think anyone really knows except the people at Google. Still, the search team does seem to be pretty forgiving: They allow reinclusion requests when owners of penalized sites have cleaned up their sites, for example.

The best place to ask questions about Google Search is the Google Search News forum:

If you get traffic and have serps, why not use msn or yahoo ads?
