backlinks from the same C class ip

I have reason to believe that these aren't so bad afterall.

My main competitor has been very high in google ever since I started out. Most of his links are from related/unrelated blogspot blogs, meaning all the domains are .blogspot.com

This is against the popular belief that this is bad.

 

I think the same. They aren't so bad, but unfortunately they aren't so good either

 

It's far better to get links from different c-class ips
otherwise someone could build a network of sites and just interlink them and become pr6's site wide

ps.. I'm sure blogspot uses several ip's

 

I did check a few and they were the same.

 

what links you see might not be the only links your competitor has. there could be lot of other links that google doesn;t display. besides, its the quality of links also. related few good quality backlinks will help you lot better than unrelated same class C lot of backlinks

 

I never check google links. I know my seo enough to know that they don't give the full range. These links are checked with 3 different backlink checkers.

 

Backlinks from different domains (or sub domains) is what is most important. If there is a discount from being on the same c class, it is very minimal.

 

I find that the links from all the same domain have some value just not as much as links for all different sites. I also think links from sites on different IPs plays a part also.

 

It really depend on your keyword... sometimes good ranking with the same ip class links is just a matter of low competition

 

The keyword is pretty big.

 

they really aren't bad for there are still considered as backlinks.

 

It is not like you have a choice to choose between different IP address or same ip address or same C class or different C Class. You got to get the backlinks whereever you can get it from. Of course the prereference would be different C class, then different IP Address, then different web site, then same website, then no follow - in that order.
