Can we serve Googlebot a different page with no ads?

Vic from Utah asks: "Matt, can we feed Googlebot a version of a page that does no contain any advertising code (JavaScript or otherwise)? Same exact content, navigation, images, etc, but just no ad code. Thanks, Vic."

Matt,

How can I ask you a question? I do not have your email. Pls help !!

@F1JEX The best place to ask a question is to go to the Webmaster Help Forum, which is linked to from Google Webmaster Central. Just click on the banner at the top of our channel and you should be taken there.

For some reason I thought it is better/recommended to serve plain brushed content to googelbot.

I guess not.

Thanks.

How come google index on their own Adwords ads then. I get site links indexed from hundreds of sites through my Adwords campaign?

Good video, especially the 'cloaking' advice. Loaded ok Down Under on wireless broadband.
