Say if you were going to submit to a network of about 30 directories, how many seperate Class C IP's would you see as acceptable? Obviously a seperate IP for each would be great but having a few of the directories on per C Class what would you be ok with? Im not looking at setting up a network by the way, im asking as a customer.
i would want every directory on a different IP. otherwise its worthless. google only counts links from one IP. So i've heard so dont quote me on that
Hi mikey, can i ask, if the price was pretty low, would that sway you at all into going for it? or would you not go for it with the way google possibly count backlinks.
Well, Google can check your personal info via who is. So it doesn't matter if you change class C IP or not. It's true that it doesn't seem that they use the info in algorithm yet. The rumor has been said that Google raises a red flag, if you corss-link too many of your own sites. But I haven't heard of any proof yet. The only way they can devalue your links from your own network is that if those backlinks are all irrelevant, or I should say, they tend to devalue those links more likely, it's just a higher possibility. How Google sees with class C IP domains are really unknown. If Google often let link juice flow from an irrelevant site to yours, you don't have to worry too much of class C IP
- There is no proof of that. I do agree that too many links from one IP might not be helpful. If they were spread between 4-5 ip's I think that would be fine.
Hello... I dont know about anyone else but i pay the extra monthly hosting fees to be able to offer the seperate ips on different C classes.. I have many directories and feel that it doesnt play a roll but i suppose in the event that every different IP is counted then i know that i can offer 60 different ips. If you need to check anyones IPs then this is a good tool.. http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/tools/class-c-checker.php thx malcolm
coolsitez and jg123 thanks, hopefully it will be ok as long as their spread over as many IP's as possible, typically its the usual questions of do they, dont they regarding google but i guess we have to take some chances at least. Asking these sorts of questions shows that we do care what happens as a result of an action at least, hopefully google isn't too harsh on everything.
Actually not true at all. Google counts the links period. Think about what you just stated and the take a look at several of these hosting companies out there. Especially look at those which offer shared hosting. These companies setup one main hosting account then offer a cheaper shared hosting account, most of which all use the same IP. However several of which are owned by different people and have different niche sites. If you purchased a link from a few of these sites that were on the same IP address but owned by diffferent people and had different niches they would be counted. Now as far as having the exact same sites on the exact same ip addresses, the links are still counted but devalued. As this would seem to be a dup content site and could also be considered cross linking to much. If you have several different directories on the same IP as long as the content is not the exact same they would all be counted. If the content was the exact same then the links would probably be devalued.
Hi Malcolm, i agree its peice of mind, you can rest knowing that your guaranteed to provide a seperate IP on each of your directories for your customers. thanks for the tool, il check that out
No one really knows how many cross linkings are ok. Personally, I think 50 or more can be dangerous. Matt Cutts said something about it, but the case was for 2k domains. And this was detected by G. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3583760678227172395 http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/myth-busting-virtual-hosts-vs-dedicated-ip-addresses/
Personally I would avoid getting more than one link from the same C class, simply because it's one thing that could be used in future to determine what counts as excessive crosslinking. There are always plenty more places to get links.
How many genuine directories use Reseller Zoom to host their web sites. Are they going to get penalised? I dont know but I think not. Once a network is tagged IP addresses might come into play but I dont think one needs to be too concerned.
