Does AdSense ads take your link juice?
I saw a very interesting set of comments on Reddit. The whole thread is here. The following part captured my attention.
Linking to other websites (where relevant) in your niche won’t have a negative effect, and may in fact have a positive one. However, Google’s guidelines say you should nofollow any advertisements. I go one step further with my method and completely block Google from “seeing” the links.
I understand what the person is trying to accomplish but I wonder if this effort is futile. If you are using AdSense I definitely think this useless. Since link juice applies to Google search, I think you can skip this advice if you are just using AdSense. I am pretty sure Google knows it’s ads and will not give away link juice to them. If you are running multiple ads on your blog, this maybe something to think about.
