Hi guys, to make it short: 1.) is it bad for SEO when my whois record is blocked? 2.) how many own domains linking each other can I have on same C-Class IPs? 3.) does the domain age really has such a big impact? 4.) what incoming/outgoing link ratio is healthy? (or is there for example a specific outgoing-links limit?) 5.) will I fail when all factors are good but my content is not unique? THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! Regards, Paul
Yes. Your duplicate content will be filtered out from the search engines. If all of your content is duplicate then you wont show up anywhere in the search engines.
The question is, what counts as duplicated? When I rewrite a text in my own words, will it be unique then even if it has the same message?
If you rewrite an article in your own words it will not be considered as duplicate content, but it's best if you can get unique content.
1. What do you mean by whois record is blocked ? whois is a private organization which has nothing to do with any search engine or SEO. They just collect domain related info from various sources 2. I think all this C class thing is over hyped. It is just abused and manipulated to sell stuff. Yes its good to get links from different class but you don't want to start looking at each ip to see if it is C class or not. Don't waste time on all this and stick to natural linking. If the link is natural, it doesn't matter you owns both the sites too. I have seen established sits heavily interlinking and ranking very high 3. well earlier I used to think its not and again used by domainers to sell there domains but now I think it does make a difference. Actually the site age is a better word. a 10 year parked domain is useless but a 4 year old website is precious. 4. Again don't bother as long as you are in healthy neighborhood. Check out my blog tomorrow as I am going to publish a good post on neighborhood and linking strategies 5. Yes you will copied content is never gong to rank unless its wikipedia
Hey, Thank you very much for answering all of my questions! about 1.) well, I don't know if it happens but google could make a whois lookup for a domain to see who registered it. Some registrants offer stuff like "whois shields" or "whois blocks" so none of your personal data will apear in the whois record. I thought maybe this could be bad? Look at the whois record for lalala.com for example, you can't see who registered it. 2.) what I was talking about, what if I register like 10 domains and interlink them, is it important to not have them on same c-class ips? but I guess this was answered in another thread where I was told to not do so.
