I am currently providing SEO services for about 6 customers and myself. I have 5 customer websites and my own on a VPS with a single static IP address. I recently created a small online gambling affiliate website to try and make a few bucks. The site has sports book, casino, and clickbank affiliate ads and test links. I have read that gambling and porn sites are often not allowed in directories because of the negative effect they may have on a directories SEO when search engines find link backs to the gambling site. My question is, will hosting a gambling affiliate site on the same server with the same IP address as my other sites negatively effect those other sites on the server or will it just be looked at as a separate website and not effect my other sites? Again there is no actual gambling on the site, it is just a basic run of the mill site with sports and gambling articles and affiliate ads. Thanks in advance
You'll be fine. The only issue you'll run across is if it gets your VPS shut down if they branch into actually accepting bets, etc. Other than that, Google won't care.
