If my 3 sites using same IP on reseller host, linking between them is look like spam?

Hi, there. I wonder If I hosts my sites (3 or above) on reseller hosts (surely same IP when published) and linking between them. Is it looks like a link farm for Google, MSN and Yahoo? I'm afraid about that but..place many sites on reseller save costs very much for me.

 

linking on same IP is fine. When its a reseller there are probably 200-300 websites on that IP. There is nothing wrong if 3 websites crosslink. Especially if they get extern IPs links as well.

If you have only inbound links from those websites, or if you get much more, then it can be better if you host some websites on a complete (not just the last 3 or 6 numbers but especially the first 3) different IP number.

In general; an inbound link is never bad. It is never negative. The only problem that can happen is that it is not positive either. When Google notices a netwerk of 1 person they might devalue those links. So the value becomes less than extern links. You dont gain much in SERPS or Pagerank, but you never lose anything either.

So get links, and crosslink your own websites. They might even spread traffic as well. Not all visitors come through Google you know

 

Thank you. I'll move my sites to new host for very soon

 

Yes, linking to sites on the same IP address is basically worthless. I've actually heard from someone that links on the same IP address didn't even show up in SERPs, but I have yet to validate that through a test. I normally put each site on it's own IP address, which is why we have around 14 IPs on our server and we'll be adding more as we need them.

If we have a major site, we never share the IP, only if it's a minor site or a site that I don't own and won't link from.

 

I also do as fsmedia does.

If I have "major" sites then I definately have them on their own IP addy.

But if I have smaller sites, say adsense sites. Then they definately get their own ip address.

Having said that surely google would count a link from an IP address even if it is the same, if it comes from a different domain.

Multiple links from the same ip and same domain. Sure discount most except the first picked up.

But otherwise going from the results I see in the index to particular sites of mine. They still pick up links from same IP, as long as they are also from a different domain.

Thank you Have I got to pay for host for each site separately for better, right? How sad, it will costs me a lot for a starter sites.

 

You could look at a VPS or a reseller package with multiple IP addresses. Site5.com or DreamHost.com have some good packages -- but again, you'll need to look at the IP addresses. I get plenty of IPs with my server because I have a dedicated-managed server, so I pay quite a bit for it and all the hardware is dedicated to me. Shared hosting is a different story...but yeah, you might end up paying for each site (probably cheaper to go dedicated if you have a lot of websites).

 

You can pickup small reseller packages for around $5 a month, buy a group of these and link to each of these in sets.

 

With dedicated servers you usually get the same first 6 digits. Only the last 3 usually differ. Thats basically having the same IP and not making much difference.

I wouldnt recommend to buy different webhosting at different companies just because of the IP. YES it helps. But NO I dont think its worth the money. You better use that money for new outbound links, sending press releases, etc so that only 5% of your links come from the same IP. In that case there shouldnt be anything to worry about.

Basically why I am saying this is this: Dont take actions and spend money just to fool Google. They will make systems in the future that will make sure tricks dont help. Google probably gets to know the webmaster. Will learn about your IP. Will learn about your netwerk anyway. Still if your netwerk is HOT and RELATED to eachother, they definately allow you to crosslink your own websites.

They just dont add sites that are linked ONLY from this netwerk because its not authoritive enough. But if all sites have a zillion other links pointing to them as well, stable related websites, for example DMOZ links or Yahoo directory links, then even your same IP links will help you a lot. Definately.

 

Thanks a lot, you give me a light. I've to do all sites myself and have a limited budget. I've to save costs in case to expand my sites more.

 

I think it can't create problems but it is worthless.
