Too many links from one ip

Yep, aware of it, It's their patent on affiliated database documents. It has to do with their author affiliation and reputation. It is a method of linking documents together that are created by the same author, and using the author's reputation as part of the ranking score. Google has been talking publicly about this goal for several years.

The funny thing is that it does the opposite of what the SEO Hosting businesses try perpetuate. Read the document carefully and you will note that the technique described boosts the ranking of affiliated documents. The whole concept of of hiding affiliation has the opposite effect intended by the diversified IP address notion.

If you want to rank better in SERPs you need affiliations, the more the better. The bottom line is that linked documents are already affiliated. That patent describes how they can use traffic between linked documents, as well as IP addresses to improve the ranking of documents from authors with good reputations. Thanks for pointing out the patent that describes that technology.

If you do a little searching around the web it won't take you long to understand that cross-linked networks that are affiliated tend rank better than web pages that are not. The amount of rankings boost depends on the link juice of the documents affiliated, they are passing that link juice in the form or trust. This is not a new concept, Google filed for that patent a long time ago, and the final patent was awarded in 2010.

Hi Nicky,

First let me say that Google does not rank websites, they rank individual web pages.

Secondly, I routinely rank tens of thousands of pages on the front of Google. And most of my promotional pages are all running on a handful of the same IP addresses. It's easier and less costly to build a network of websites on the same server, same IP address, and Google doesn't seem to mind, so I try to make it very clear to Google, and users, how each website is connected and affiliated. And, I try to do it in ways the add value and usefulness to users.

It's not your IP address that matters, it is the relevance, quality and usefulness of your content that matters.

Yep, I've been at it a long time, and I do it for a living, I cannot afford to be wrong. Many companies, with way too many families relying on the business that is generated from from our web promotion and advertising, I have to be right or people will lose their jobs, careers and life savings. But, maybe I'll learn something new, so please keep telling me what I must be doing wrong, I will gladly learn and adapt if needed. However, for now, Google seems to like our content and so do users, so I'll stick to what Google recommends for now, and you can keep telling me how wrong I am. I don't mind.
