When I look at the list over on http://www.iplists.com/ for example: the very first one is 209.185.108 does that mean they own that entire block? 209.185.108.1 through 209.185.108.255 ? e.g. 209.185.108.1 209.185.108.2 209.185.108.3 etc .4 etc .5 etc .6 .... I am ssuming they do, but would like better clarification from you guys who know best. I'm new to all of this info, and I have currently written a mod for my directories to see where google is, and I would like to update my ranges in my check, to be as widespread as I can be. Rob
w0w! lots of great SEO advice in this thread. Thanks for *ALL* of the replies. WILL READ AGAIN A++++++++
Yes, it does mean that. Yahoo or Google wouldn't buy a single IP address, but rather a whole Class C or Class B.
