AdWords Helped My Google Rankings

Buy Adwords. For a newly registered domain, and a moderate link-building campaign, I watched all of my other rankings climb, but I had no Google rankings. The update came and went, and my PR went up, but still no rankings. I paid for adwords for about a week (and spent $20-$25), and of course my traffic increased. However, once my ad campaign was over, my traffic did not decrease. In fact, it maintained the traffic, and after a week or two, it started increasing gradually. I went to check my rankings in Google, and my site showed up in the top 10 for several of my keywords. Coincidence? Perhaps. Next time I’ll try to test this on a much newer domain.
