Hello guys , i currently have 3 websites as addon domains on same IP and they were doing good but one of them has been affected by negative SEO from competition and i would like to start fresh . Do you think that its good that i buy new webhosting account to get a new IP or use addon domain just with different domain and 301 redirect to it. Im with hostgator at the moment.

Another questions i have is , i want to create 2 similar websites , one in English and one in French language, are they OK as addon domains considering it will be almost identical but the content is rewritten to French.

Regarding linking , do you think that google can notice that 2 websites are addon domains even though there are 10's or 100's of other sites sharing the same IP.

Please post your opinions about this , id be grateful

Thanks

    Hi Lethaldose,

    IP addresses have nothing to do with SEO. I wouldn't worry about it for for even a moment.

      It does if the sites are interlinked. Are the sites interlinked Lethaldose?

        I would quibble with you on this point. There are many examples of interlinked sites on the same IP address with no issues at all related to SEO. The only time interlinking is a problem is when it is done incorrectly, and using different IP addresses will not hide that fact.

          Impossibly overinflated claim. I would like to see even one example where you could verify there was no issue at all related to SEO. A site could even rank number one it would not prove that there was no issue. Since the algo is multifaceted the site ranking might have simply overcome an IP issue.


          People often use anecdotal "Evidence" but anecdotal references to a multi faceted algo does not work. What might not hurt for one site because of many factors might in fact sink another site without those factors.


          Sticking all sites on the same server and interlinking them is a bad practice for most Imers. If there ever is an issue for google to look at its obvious for them to see.

            Thanks for replies guys .

            No , my sites are never interlinked , not even mentioned in one another. The only thing is that i have blog network on which i manually post unique articles and link to these sites. Its on separate host not even close to my money sites

            What do you think about 2 sites with different language ,and translated contend .

            I agree that anecdotal evidence is not proof of anything except absolutes. For example one cannot say "a factor never has an effect" if you can find even a single example of a case where it in fact did. So in that case, even anecdotal evidence is sufficient to disprove an absolute.

            I also agree that the way most IMers interlink sites, in an attempt to manipulate PageRank, is a bad practice. However, I believe it has to do with factors other than the same IP address, or the general concept of interlinking. I believe that it has to do with the method, not the practice. Interlinking should be done in a way that is useful, relevant, and adds value to the user experience. When done properly, interlinking pages on the same IP address is never detrimental to SEO. Of course, if you can find a single example where properly interlinked pages on the same IP was detrimental, that would disprove my assertion.
