Adwords Policy and SEO
-
I have a customer who runs campaigns on adwords and we have had real problems with his ads being taken down due to certain ingredients being present in supplements. Now we move towards his SEO campaign and we wondered if the natural listings are effected by sites that list banned substances or pages listed on the adwords policy as being banned ?
Has anyone experienced a site being downgraded by link being present from sites that provided products or services that are banned from being advertised on Google adwords ?

Google says that what happens on AdWords doesn't affect your SEO and vice versa.
As far as incoming links from other sites, no. You should check to see if Google does index these linking sites, because if they don't, then there's no link juice coming in from them at all. If they are indexed, but labeled as spammy/junk, they just won't pass any positive link juice.
