Do You Use An IP Address Changer To Market On The Internet?

by StevenSaliba

I am thinking of marketing on Twitter (Not Spamming). I recently had some of my Twitter accounts deleted. I think this happened because Twitter support found out that I have more than one account with the same IP Address. What is the best IP address changer so that I can make some more accounts without getting caught? Thanks.

    The easiest way is to have a MAC address changer for your ethernet card - When you reboot or disable/enable your ethernet card the software assigns a ne MAC address thus getting a new IP from your ISP.

    How many twitter accounts do you have?

    You know it's funny I have been running a fairly large Internet marketing company with multiple staff all running off a single IP address in my office for years.

    I would think that having multiple accounts under the same IP is fine the problem lies in you using those accounts to prop the others up in other words re-tweeting your own tweets etc.

    Only when I've done something on a very large scale like mass craigslist posting or P2P file population have I gone outside of my own IP.

    I think we had close to a dozen different twitter accounts running out of our office on the same IP. But each one did its own thing, had its own followers and very rarely were they used to cross populate each other.

    I'm not sure. But on a side note every new site you make should be made on a different IP.

    Use SEOhosting by HostGator.

      I would imagine so, for the most part.

      But then I read recently that buying new IP addresses for that kind of thing is all a racket for the hosting companies. In other words, it's unnecessary. I guess experience will tell that, which is why I am asking you.

      I hope that was understandable.

      Thanks!
      Hey Phil,

      I think you may be a little confused. When you create web2.0 properties you create them from your own IP address. When you create a site it is hosted on your hosters given IP address (that they assign to your account when you begin with them I believe).

      I do outsource my link wheels but each web2.0 property is made from a different IP address. I believe they do this, as BigMike said, by simply breaking the internet connection and re-connecting.So in that case I would imagine, although I'm no expert, that any IP changing program is a racket seeing as how you just have to click your mouse a few times to get a new one.

      In terms of if your site should have it's own, totally unique IP people have varying views. Personally I feel it's better safe then sorry. Around October 400 sites got de-indexed from Google that pushed bizops, which are a certain type of CPA offer.

      Google didn't just take down the sites but the whole IP. So hypothetically if you were on the same shared IP as the bizop site, which you could be if you're with BlueHost or anybody else because the IP's are shared, then your site would also be taken down.

      Even if your site was on cute puppies. It didn't matter.

      You never know what Google will do and thus I make sure that each site I make has a separate, unique IP attached to it. I do this through SEOHosting. This way if Google bans my site for some reason, and bans the IP, only the one site goes down and only the small percentage of income goes away.

      There's also myths that having a separate IP, or dedicated IP, will help you in the rankings. (A dedicated IP is when you have your own IP for all your sites - this can be done through Bluehost but is not recommended because if one IP goes down then all your sites do.)

      I have no affiliation at all with SEOhosting besides being a happy customer. They are a sub company of HostGator and your bill will actually appear from HostGator. The plans start, for five sites with a unique c-class IP's, at around 40 bucks a month I believe witch is a great deal all things considering.

      Hope this helps and sorry for thread jacking this a bit.

    It is really interesting how Twitter can be a pain. I only offered free training in my niche. I only sent traffic to my squeeze page. Twitter still deleted my accounts. I guess I will have to try one of those cards that change your ip every time you put the internet on. Everyone, thanks for the help.
