Adwords campaign triggers indexing?

is this true?

[pompousjohn]

Recently I was surprised to learn that adsense does NOT trigger indexing, it would make alot of sense since google is reading the page to index it at the same time. Now I just heard from a supposed guru's book (an old one) that an adwords campaign does trigger immediate indexing of a page. Is that true?

No, all three things are completely independent. The spider that reads the page for adsense is different from the one that indexes, and adwords has absolutely nothing to do with indexing for the natural serps.

However if you are paying for ads over a long period to the same url its possible the link itself may appear in a few backlinks in google, which wouldnt do you any harm in geting indexed.

BUT (heh) if you want to get indexed theres much easier ways than spending money in adwords! Getting indexed is easy, getting ranked thats the tricky bit.
