what's the current view on hosting 100's of blogs (unique content in each) on the same IP.. good, bad, doesn't matter?
However, you need to make hundreds of blogs in different IP addresses in order to get the better result. Yes, this is very consumsing time.
IP doesn't matter much and is not counted by a big fraction of percent when it comes to counting links through your site. it's the individual pages of a site as google noted that counts and the relevancy of those pages that counts. so you say you got a 10,000 page website all linking to your blog homepage, all crawled. it is equal to 10,000 blogs all linking to the same blog homepage, all crawled. unless some of those pages vary in importance due to their topic relevance and PR, that's another story
sure.. in shared hosting 1000s of sites might be on same IP (different niche or same niche) and many of them get good rankings
It's still all right if the contents are fresh , unique but more IP will get more benefit than single IP.
The pagerank will not transfer over if one of them has pagerank and you are linking them together. If you have fresh content it should not be a problem. I remember in the past it was better to have blog's on different c class ip's when people were buying links.
I was going to ask that question. Thanks for the answer. I was wondering if my site would not get PR because I have 23 sites hosted on the same reseller plan.
That is *if* they are not interlinking between one another. If you have 1000's or even 10 sites on the same IP and they are interlinking, it definitely factors into lessening the inbound link quality (at least as far as Google is concerned). Additional devaluation will occur if the sites sharing the same IP stick all have the same registrant in their whois information.
Try not to get trapped in IP conflict if you are promoting 100 blogs, all from same Ip, your IP might get banned by other sites as well as by search engines
