I expect that displaying adsense ads and/or buying adsense ads results in a ranking improvement … but that it’s only one factor involved in googles algos.
If you can imagine Google having 10,20,50 rating factors – then I would expect that googles revenue men would insist on it being one of the factors.
Given Googles ad income even a 1% increase in ads displayed is tens of millions of dollars.
Almost impossible to prove though.
