I have always thought that 1 or 1000 links from one IP still technically counts as one backlink in googles eyes. Have things changed? Reasons I'm asking is when I submit articles they ask to put multiple links back to my site. Obviously it will give the user more chances to see your link and hopefully click but do more backlinks from one website actually help my PR? Thx
Well I know that when you buy dedicated hosting they usually say 4, 2 or 1 domains max per server depending on how much you spend. Virtual hosting I dont think even has a limit as to what they use. I know mine has 14 other people with domains on it. People here encourage you to have all your domains on different ip's if possible. I guess if you had 120 domains, having 120 different ip's may be costly.
No. You can get more than 1 link from the same site and get benefits from them. I don't think "1 link/site" has ever been the case. Just a myth.
Not as far as I've seen. Depends on the link though. If you are talking about obviously paid links (sidebar links, footer links) - who knows. If you refer to content links, I think there is a plateau where more links no longer help, but it is not 1.
Okay good. At the moment I am looking at all the ways I can get links to my site and was wondering if submitting articles to high PR article dirs was worth it. Thx
If you submit articles, don't do the same article to a million different sites. Its a complete waste of time.
Im using Isnare at the moment. I think they deal with 100-150 article sites. They dont submit to 4-5 higher PR ones which I have starting doing. The cheesy 0-2 article sites which want a recip I dont even bother.
Yeah. you are wasting your time. If you have unique articles, you'd do a lot better by submitting each one to 1 and only 1 article site. And repeating that process. Its slower, but will actually yield benefits. Read my blog entry if you need actual evidence.
I think if the anchor text is different then they will count as seperate links even though they are on the same site or same IP.
