Google Penalize Ads Over Tube Video?
 

Just wondering before I do this, what would you do?

I have a popup script on the site and obviously some people have blockers, so I know my pop won't always show.

If I put an ad over the video and they have to click X to play it, will that devalue the site?

From a user perspective it might annoy me.

I'm using WP Script tube site software. It doesn't do ad overlay on mobile, just desktop.

What are your thoughts? I think i know the answer already. :pimp

Yes, it will devalue your site.

Unless you do it in a sparingly sporadic way where there's no pattern for G to pick up.

Thank you! I've opted out of doing such things :).

One of the principles behind PANDA (Rank visibility suppression) is anything you do on page that reduces user experience quality will be held against you
