Hello i have 4 insurance sites that are all on the same server, only 2 of them are up and running the other 2 are coming later, im wondering will google not rank them at all since there on the same ip? or will it de-index me? if you have any suggestions on what i could do thanks
I operate about a dozen websites on my own dedicated server. I've not had any issues with deindexing, other than problems I caused myself. Namely a BANS site.
Just make sure that any of your sites will not go into any undesirable activity on Google's eyes and cause penalty and ban. It's the common problem on shared IP hosting, when one site is penalized there is the possibly the others will be affected too since they have the same IP.
It's definitely not a problem. I now have over 50 sites on the same server and have no problem at all.
Only thing that will get you de-indexed is if they're duplicate content. You can link them together and you will not receive a penalty, much the same as you can link your homepage to a subpage of the same website and not receive a penalty. If you link them together, however, Google may not apply certain benefits that can be associated with 2 unassociated websites linking together. That, however, is not a penalty -- that's just failing to receive an additional benefit you could have if they were on different servers.
I just have three questions: If I was to whois the 50 domains are they all registered to the same person? How long have you had these 50 sites linking together? Are they similar content?
