Seo Myth: Fact Or Fiction

14 years ago

What is a mobility site? You mean mobile website?
isn't that just your same site, redone for mobi?
Why would it be on a different server?

Warriorforum.com is on the same server as 7 others.

Whoever teaches this stuff does not want to really
tell you the truth.
hard work, onpage SEO, relevant reputable content,
high PR backlinks. Any other laundry list of magic stuff
is just bunk.

I don't believe that it does. I've had the same host since I started in IM.

I believe that hosting does affect backlinking though. For example multiple squidoo lenses or something similar with links to the same place doesn't hold as much value as the same number of links from various web 2.0 sites, rather than just multiple squidoo's...

Does that make sense?

Makes sense.

Any site you get multiple backlinks from is watered down, but not in the case
of multiple blogspots. Each squidoo lens may be treated as a separate web page
as well. Watered down? Perhaps. Penalty? No.

This is not directed to baby_butler2002. These things are
started by people who think there must be some magical formula
that can get you to number one. I would not think of putting my sites
on a host I have no faith or history with, nor do I need a whole bunch
of servers. The internet runs on shared IPs. If only people really knew
how it worked, they would stop this.

All of these little tricks are out there to somehow fool google into
giving something(?) extra. Anything that has nothing to do with
website structure, content, backlinks, and reputation, is just
wishful thinking. Now I know, everyone can come up with a parlor
trick and say, see? But overall, long term SEO is not based on
parlor tricks.

Here's a tremendous myth killer. Every wikipedia site is on the
same server.

wikibooks.org
wikiquote.org
wiktionary.org
wikisource.org
wikimedia.org
wikinews.org
mediawiki.org
wikiversity.org
vikimedija.org
wikimediafoundation.org

I know. Google trusts them so it does not matter that they
are all on the same server and linked together. EXACTLY!

I dont believe having your site on the same host is the problem...the issue comes when you start interlinking them..that is a clear manipulation and its usually a matter of timem before google finds out and will penalize your sites..

I would say yes, only if you interlink them all though, otherwise it has been fine and has unaffected my seo results for my sites.

It's clearly one of the so-called SEO mmyths.
It doesn't matter, unless of course you are
hosting duplicate content on the same servers
and/or linking to themselves to get SEO
benefits.

I'm going to put this crappy myth to bed for the last time.
You can have many, many websites, all interlinked on the
same server. Period. There is no problem unless you are doing
shady things. Then it does not matter. You are doing shady
things. Even if they were on different servers, still shady.

Here's the myth killer to kill all this myth.

Do a search for gas prices. Whatever state you are in,
a site like californiagasprices.com will show up in the top
ten, probably. Even if it did not, does not matter. That's
not the point. Anyway, I do it, I live in CA, so about #5
is californiagasprices.com. Guess what? These people own
every other domain stategasprices.com, as well as ton
of popular cities, like losangelesgasprices.com. They
own 203 other websites for gas prices. ALL INTERLINKED,
ALL showing up high in SERPS.

Do a search for texas gas prices. texasgasprices.com
pops up #1. Do a search for, let's say, Arizona gas
prices, guess what? Lo and behold, arizonagasprices.com
shows up #1!!!

This site as stated ranks #1 for any state gas prices.
They even get the google love by putting links!!!!!

All 200+ websites are on the SAME server, all interlinked!
All rank #1!

Can you say, myth busted?

Let's put this nonsense to bed. If you have 100 sites, all
great sites, interlink them! Even for the same niche, like
gas prices.

If you have 100 crappy, stupid, idiotic sites, that are trying
to schmooze google, you will be in trouble.

It's not the number of sites, it's the crap you do to them!

You are right you can host as many sites as you like with the same host and interlink them without penalty. What I think is important is that you choose a good hosting company as you do not want all you domains to go down at the same time.

I'd have to say that those keywords are such low competition that it would be hard not to rank with an exact match domain.

I wouldn't use that as an example. What about keyword phrases with competition?

So making a distinction between:

1) Multiple sites in different niches hosted on the same server, and
2) Multiple sites in the same niche hosted on the same server with the purpose of dominating the first page of a search term,

you're saying in either case, your rankings will not be affected?

In other words, if I create 4 or 5 sites to rank for the same keyword so they all appear on the same first page of a Google search with the intention of increasing sales for some of the same products, Google will not choose to rank only one or two of the sites rather than all of them?

Just to clarify...

Thanks
