[SEO.Ninja]

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) are static pages that are rendered very quickly tailored towards mobile users. AMP uses a stricter flavor of HTML in order for mobile browsers to load faster.AMP doesn’t let extension mechanisms block page rendering. AMP supports extensions for things like lightboxes, instagram embeds, tweets, etc. While these require additional HTTP requests, those requests do not block page layout and rendering.

Google shows AMP results in special carousel above search results, so it's helpful for driving traffic.  However AMP is not a ranking factor. If your website has AMP, it will rank better because of it will have high load speed, which is a ranking factor.
