Edwin Jonk: Yes anyone that follows the Adwords policy can.
Charu Rastogi: Thanks +Edwin Jonk ;...Will it affect ad rank?
Edwin Jonk: Paid search and organic search are separated. However a high quality score (AdWords) and a high position in organic ranking can go hand in hand. ;
James Simmonds: +Edwin Jonk Only in a in terms of copy text surely. Other organic ranking factors like links etc have no influence on Adwords right? in fact you could use a landing page which doesn't rank at all in google organic searches and get a high quality score as long as the copy text in the advert and the text on your landing page is relevant to the keyword. ;
Edwin Jonk: +James Simmonds ;indeed I agree 100 %. That is why I mentioned quality score. Thanks for making it more clear because re-reading my comment it might be a little confusing.
Charu Rastogi: Good discussion...Thanks everyone.
