I have a question about links from same server. Let's say I have 7 hosting (reseller) accounts, 4 are with same host on 3 seperate servers (2 accounts are on same server). The other 3 are with 3 different hosts. I have 99 websites, 98 of them I could care less about link backs and link poplarity etc. They all funnel to my main site. Out of these 99 sites, about 10 of them are PR 4, 5 or 6 with no links back to any other site, not even my own sites. This leaves 88 sites I own, with 4 seperate hosts, that I can place links on. How many of these can I safely link back to my main site to help my PR on the main site? Right now a few of them link back, but I wasn't sure if it is ok to have my main site link on all of them due to the majority of them sharing an IP address with about 5 to 10 other of the sites. Does this matter when it concerns PR? If multiple sites share the same IP address? If so, can anyone recommend a host that gives seperate IP addresses at an affordable rate? I want all of my "funnel" sites to link back to my main site, but not if them sharing IP addresses will harm my rankings or PR for my main site. I hope this makes sense. The reason I am asking is because I am about to buy another 25 domains for funneling, they will have links on them, I need a safe hosting plan that won't hurt my PR or rankings with my main site if all 25 hosted sites link back to my main site. Right now I funnel using PDF reports and patterns, but the new sites will all need a link on the main pages.
If you are interlinking for traffic purposes and not to game the system, you should be fine. I wouldn't be interlinking all 100 sites though, that's pushing your luck a bit too much IMHO. Just do what makes sense.
The funneling I do already establishes traffic virally. I'm wanting to build up my link popularity and PR mainly. I already rank top 10 in a lot of the phrases I want to for my main site BUT 3 of my fav phrases aren't ranked even in the top 100. The 25 new sites will be site with content related to those 3 phrases. I know I can obtain links from other sites, but I've about ran out of directories, blogs and article sites to use that are hobby or general topics related. I already post in every forum that is related to my niche, that I can find. My main competitor for my main phrase has 2,568 links back to her site, so I want 2,569 + linking back to my site. But I do not want to link from the same IP address, since I've heard that google can detect things like this. If all else fails I plan to purchase some of those 1.99 hosting plans with diff hosting companies, but it would be nice to have one WHM panel for all 25 sites instead of 25 seperate hosting accounts. I would purchase high PR links as well, but it's hard to find sites in my niche that sell links and I'm trying to ensure all links back are related to my sites niche. I'm short 25 links, and I figured if I can't buy from anyone else then by George I'll make my own PR 0 sites for the lil boost I am needing. I am just running out of hosting options too lol. Oh and I forgot, I have hosting with GoDaddy too, one of my core sites is there and it does link back, I just forgot that hosting plan I have because it was paid in advance and isn't due for 3 more years, and I never have to touch the site, it's on autopilot. So that's 8 hosting accounts I have, the GoDaddy one isn't a reseller account though. I wish I could find more deals like HastyHost did here at DP, lifetime account for one time fee, but I KNOW that's a rarity. I hope this clarifies more, I am going to beat my main competitors links back, even if I have to resort to using hosts that use windows servers (blech). I just do not want to do anything that will jeopardize the rankings I already have at my main site and I suspect that too many sites linking from the same IP's is something that would harm instead of help.
I thought that google placed more importance on the link if a site linking back is relevant to what it's linking to.
Well yeah. Relevance is important, but it doesn't have to be the SAME niche, think about parallel markets. Relevance becomes an issue when you start linking to viagra sites on your hobby website.
Ah yes, I understand that. I've broadend my search for suitable sites as far as I can think to. And most of my links are from submitting articles, where the directories cover many niches but has an area for my hobby niche. But it is getting harder to locate sites that are "general" yet still appropriate. I'm sure if I spend the next month searching I can find another 25, but I would prefer to build a few more funnel sites instead, and it would be nice if I could just put the links on them instead of trying to locate more forums, directories etc. I did a google search and what I'm trying to get at is "Call C Blocks Of IP Addresses" Are there any hosts that can give 25 IP addresses with seperate Class C blocks?
