Does Slurp read Adsense ads that are shown on content pages? Recently I started an Adwords campaign that included content pages, and all of a sudden my SERPS went crazy (within about a week of starting) and I'm ranking for keywords I hadn't before. The only real change I made was starting that Adwords campaign (that of course shows up as Adsense ads on people's pages...).

Thanks- any opinions would be appreciated.

Short Answer - Yes.

Long Answer: I have checked a site (with Yahoo Site Explorer) that was running Adwords and I built all the BL's to the site - there were obscure sites showing that when I clicked through the first thing you noticed was the well positioned Adsense ads - where obviously at one point my site in question was included with these ads.

It was a fairly young site - bout three months old and I was extremely vigilant in monitoring the BL campaign.
