IP Addresses

Hi all,

I was pondering on something today and thought i could have some light shed on it on here...

How do IMers avoid having their IP addresses banned by sites?

I mean, when i have a number of niche sites, and i bookmark them all on a regular basis, wouldn't the site i'm book marking them on realise that bookmarks are being made from one IP address, and therefore consider it spam and therefore ban my IP address?

Assuming you are not outsourcing your linkbuilding strategies, how would you go about disguising your IP address?

Is using a proxy the answer? What if you are not using a software that has a proxy on it, i.e. manually linkbuilding on quite a mass scale from one IP address.

What is the solution?

I would really appreciate some clarity on this if you've had to overcome this problem...

how about if you were to just create unique content for your readers and allow them to bookmark it as they see fit?

  sure, i was just using bookmarking as an example -
  but more specifically though, what if i were to have a handful of blogsites to promote my main one?
  
  Thanks

  The line is sometimes difficult to see.
  
  There are people out there who post on fewer forums and blogs than I do, and leave fewer posts on them, but they get banned and I don't.
  
  It's not the number of comments or sites that matters. It's the quality of those posts. And I don't mean the value of the posts, but the particular type of posts they are.
  
  In general, your post should be a response to someone else rather than something which stands alone. It should be clear from the content of your post that you have read the other posts. And, in addition, your post should itself invite content. It should inspire a thought or a response from others.
  
  Forums and blogs allow you to comment as a trade. The trade is that you read what other people say, and then you say something which encourages other people to read the site and say things. If you don't hold up your end of the bargain, you'll end up banned, because they don't want your kind there.
  
  Another thing forums and blogs want is return traffic. They want you to come back and keep reading. They want you to be visible when you do that, and encourage others to come back and keep reading.
  
  Sometimes that means your backlink doesn't get to have its keyword phrase in the anchor. Many blogs require you to use your real name in the comments, and not "Cheap Lawn Furniture" or the like. And that's the trade you have to make - if you want your keywords in the anchor, you don't get that there. Either accept it, or find another place to get your backlink.
  
  Okay, this is way too much info, because I'm writing the backlink chapter in a product and have it all buzzing around in my head. You have to pay for the rest of it.
  
  Thanks

  Much luv CDarkLord,
  
  this is one of the best responses i've ever had.
  
  i really like your explanation of commenting as being a 'trade'. it puts things into perspective now.
  
  i've always been good at contributing but now i'll be a lot more professional in ensuring i never use the lazy 'great posts/lens/hub' comments, which i've been guilty of in the past.
  
  Thanks

Don't violate their terms of service.

  Thanks

if you do forum posting or blog commenting, contribute anything that useful for others and keep on topic.

another option, you can use soft that can change your IP address.

ok thanks guys -

it seems that there's no need to concern about being banned if you're adhering to the T&C.

i've been concerning about this for a few hours and i'm not sure why cause i haven't been banned for anything. i guess i was concerned that i may be doing too much to dominate on niches.

thanks again.

So the real question is "How do I spam without being caught"?

The reality is most places could careless how many times you post as long as the content your post/bookmark ads value to their site.

And having run several Forums it's actually a pain in the butt to individually block IP's and if you mass block then you run the risk of blocking people you don't want to block.
