Hey guys,
Quick question. If you have 10 PR5 and 10 PR4 web sites, different niches, different domains, but hosted on the same server. Will backlinks from those domains have any effect?
I honestly haven't dealt with anything like that yet. Half of the people tell me yes, half of the people tell me no. Your opinions?

  • You might get some link juice from the domains, but since they are on the same IP address you won't get the full juice from them or it even could turn around to haunt you as google might view this negatively and disregard your links.

    P.S. If the site you plan on getting the links for is also on the same IP then I definitely wouldn't do it.

    Have you thought about selling the links to others?
  • I would really like to know about this as well. How many diverse ip addresses do you need. Do you need a separate ip address from every single incoming source?

    • It depends on how you use them.

      For example, if you had 20 other * (hosted on different servers) that you wish to promote in different niches, and the (which you described above) are all different niches, you could potentially create a backlink on one to one of the * as part of your backlinking strategy.

      Not necessarily, but if you had, say 3 links coming from a high authority site's home page, only the first would count.

      If you were creating a high PR blog network, to promote just one site, then each blog in that network would need to be hosted on a separate C Class IP address, preferably with private WhoIs. If you had a large network of over a 100 sites, then this should be spread over several domain registrars and hosts.
  • If you are direct linking them to your site then no. (Especially when you target site is ALSO on the same IP server).

    To actually get some decent rankings from backlinks from your domains you should buy some SEO hosting (unique c-class IP hosting) so that your backlinks come from different sites which appear to be individually owned.

    Again, care must be taken when using this method as you do not want to jepardise your network and 'out' it to the big G
  • There is a chance Google will identify your sites are all on the same IP address and that they all link to one domain, in this case, it will treat all the same as one big site, so less PR will passed on.
  • >> Will backlinks from those domains have any effect

    No, they won't have.

    To get the most benefit you need to purchase SEO hosting. You need backlinks from unique Class IP and that is what SEO hosting provides.
  • How do I know if my sites are on different C-class IPs? I have dreamhost, and all my domains have different IPs ... is that ok?

    And what about 2 sites on the same IP, but different IP than the site it links to ... are the links from the 2 sites ok, or should remove links from one site?
  • >>How do I know if my sites are on different C-class IPs

    Try Find IP address - Check IP Address - Test Class C IP Address and you can see whether they are from different Class C IP or not.

    >> and all my domains have different IPs ... is that ok?

    Yeah, this looks fine since they have different IP. But still Class C IP is more valuable and 2 different IP may not have 2 different Class C IP. You can find the difference if you do a quick search in Google. But anyway you will get good link power because of Unique IP. But make sure to have Private Name server for each domains and enable privacy.

    >> And what about 2 sites on the same IP, but different IP than the site it links to ... are the links from the 2 sites ok, or should remove links from one site?

    Sorry, did not get clearly what you are asking...
  • Actually what could happen is if all of the sites are linked together and are on the same server (same IP or as in shared hosting possible multiple IPs) then your site could get deindexed by google
  • Theres always a debate on this and probably always will be because Google is not likely to give a straight answer. However inmy book it makes no sense to have them on the same server. In my opinion it would have a negative effect but beyond that having these domains are valuable and putting them all on one server risks them all if there is a problem -deindexing, downtime, hacking etc.

    • Mike, the best SEO hosting providers allow you to choose from several servers to host your domains on. This includes servers throughout the States and the world thus negating the valid concerns you have.

  • Thank you! I was pretty sure it would have negative effect.

    • I think you should research this topic a little more before coming to a decision.

      I'm hosting my domains on five separate servers on five separate IPs all over the world for six dollars a month.

      I can now use my favorite high PR backlinks for each of my domains without risk of any devaluation. You might find it easy to find quality backlinks but I don't so this advantage alone warrants the six bucks a month.

  • Well the total is 51 sites ranging from PR1-PR6. All hosted on the same server. I was thinking about creating links on them to 1 site that is hosted on the different IP, but I'm pretty sure it will get me penalized.

    • Well you have the potential for a very nice SEO network. You are wasting opportunity by having them hosted all together.

      Just buy some unique IP hosting and dedicate each site on a new IP.

      I am currently using 'Host The Name' for 50 unique IPs for around $120 per month.

      Best price and service I have found.
