Does Google prefer sites using AdWords?

[hamncheese]

Sometimes I wonder if google prefers those sites that are using their Google Adwords?

Does anyone have any input on this?

No it does not make a difference. They are totally separate. If any part of the algo ranked higher for Adwords users there would be an uproar and probably lawsuits.

If the issue is you feel your site isn't getting the ranking or traffic it should, she does seem to give more weight to mature sites and if your site is new sometimes it can be pushed down for awhile or even dropped.

That makes sense! I have experience this quite frequently...

What do you consider a mature site btw?

Thanks,

Not sure what G deems as mature and that's what counts.

I would think over 1 year, but not sure if 'she' agrees.
