Can Google Penalize Your for Owning Hundreds of Sites?

I've heard a lot of people get away with this, just seeing what other word there is on the street.

Why do you think that google doesn't like this?
I have one site on page 1 and another one page 2 targeting same keyword. What the problem who is the owner of sites?!?

Thanks

Google does not care if you have 10,000s of sites. If you try to interlink them and somehow games the rankings of certain sites then they frown on that. However, if you play by the rules you could own as many as you like.

They only get pissy when you try and manipulate their index but then again that is what SEO is all about

All the best

Google could care less if you interlink. Why this is one of the biggest secrets
is beyond me. Maybe people like to save this tidbit for customers or something.

Or it's just a myth that won't die.

Why would you not interlink? Seriously. What's the difference between owning a
boatload of sites, or having a boatload of squidoos, hubs, wordpress, blogspots,
EZA, etc. linking up? Nothing. If it were, sites like squidoo would not be a power.
Squidoos are linked up.

In fact, this whole myth blows apart when you consider that internal linking
is golden. If this were bad, then nobody would ever interlink. After all, if
you had 5,000 pages, all interlinked, you own them. And that's..um...bad?!?!

The whole thing is crazy on so many levels.

Gaming the system is gaming the system. That has nothing to do with
interlinking.

Just don't crosslink them. Threat them as completely seperate pages and you will be just ok!

You can use several websites as feeder sites, pointing your main money site. It does work, and can't really see why Google should have any problem with that.

People that are saying you should not crosslink them are right, but that's not the complete statement. if you have all your websites on the same I.P address this is the only time Gooogle will know these websites belong to the same person, if your websites are on different I.Ps you can interlink all of them and Google will know not :-)

am i right?

Thanks for the interesting post. You made me understand some information better that I got from an affiliate marketing online course. You can buy special SEO hosting if you are advancing a bit in your business (being it more expensive than for example the hostgator baby package). A special SEO hosting package would mean that the hosting company is smart and advanced enough to give you +-5 different IP addresses for the full price. If someone is interested in this.. you probably know how to use google or just reply me to search the link.

Simple answer as said above is no, unless you are trying to game the system with footer links and blog roll links for example

The operative term here is "thin" sites.

You can have as many sites as you like without any risk of getting slapped by Google however....

Google is on the war path for sites with thin content. Thin being sites with little to no content, and the content that is on the site doesn't provide any benefit to the reader.

If you didn't purchase domain privacy when you registered your domains Google can find out that you own all the sites so I'd reduce the footprint by getting private registration for each site. I wouldn't be interlinking my sites either.

The short answer is no. Why Google would penalize those sites? As long as you don't crosslink them and put quality unique content on your sites, you are sorted.

Hi Karlis, Dee, premiumlinks99,

I believe all of you guys are wrong about cross linking. There is absolutely nothing wrong with cross linking as long as it makes since and is beneficial to users.

James was right, Google doesn't care how many websites you have as long as you are sticking to guidelines.

Paul nailed it with his post on interlinking. Google wants you to link your pages to other relevant pages, it makes for a better user experience.

Thanks

Google doesn't care if you have 100 or even 1 million websites. The more the merrier since you are providing websites for G index. As long as you build quality content and don't cross-link you are good.

I can clearly see an "Add a site..." button in Google Webmaster Tools.
I wonder why you didn't noticed that a webmaster can add as many
sites as she or he owns. This is not breaking laws of anything.

i wouldn't think so.. im sure there are millions of people worldwide who own hundreds, if not thousands of websites.

penalizing an entrepreneur is bad for business. so i dont think they would do that.
