Best way to host multiple sites for maximum seo
-
We have over 100 websites we built for clients that we currently host on 1 shared godaddy hosting account. They each have a link to us but since they are all under one shared account, we feel that we are not maximizing the inbound link potential. I've looked into c class hosting but found that either the ip's were flagged as spam, or they shared nameservers which defeats the purpose. I've also been told that since the c class ip's a hosting company gives to you are all owned by them, that also defeats the purpose. Anyone have any solutions besides opening 130 accounts with different hosting companies? Also, will it make any difference changing existing sites onto different hosts now or are they already tainted?
-
That is my question exactly. I was curious if any experts in this community have a reasonable solution.

Any ideas about my original questions?
No, I don't think that you will ever be comfortable with hosting a hundred sites linking back to you. At least not without getting 100 different accounts on 100 different services.

Thanks for the reply.
Granted, though that wasn't my question Our next goal is to build unique content with links for those and future sites as you suggested, but we first want to be comfortable with the overall hosting setup. Any ideas about my original questions?

If Google is going to see this as a hundred websites with footer links pointing back at your site then I don't think that it makes much difference if those sites are on one server or a hundred.
I think that the best solution is a different method of linkbuilding.
=================================
Now, revisiting the original question.... if you imagine that each of these websites has a special page.... "These are the people who have helped us"... and on that page they have an entire paragraph for five to ten people, organizations and companies who have been key in their development. That paragraph details what each has done and links to them by domain. I think that would be a lot more valuable than a footer link at bottom of page.

Membership/subscriber (/customer) only content and SEO best practice
Hello Mozzers, I was wondering whether there's any best practice guidance out there re: how to deal with membership/subscriber (existing customer) only content on a website, from an SEO perspective - what is best practice? A few SEOs have told me to make some of the content visible to Google, for SEO purposes, yet I'm really not sure whether this is acceptable / manipulative, and I don't want to upset Google (or users for that matter!) Thanks in advance, Luke

Best place to submit an SEO RFP? Anyone interested in 60 hours of SEO work?
I have a small SEO project (~ 60 hours of work) that I would like to get some help with. It is spread out over the span of 4 to 6 months (2 to 3 hours of work a week with the help of 10 - 15 support staff hours per week), and if it goes well there is an opportunity to extend the project through the rest of 2014. Does anyone here want to see the RFP or have any recommendations on where I can submit this request to get the maximum exposure? Thanks!

What is the best way to learn SEO?

Obviously SEO is always evolving so even the Pro's are constantly updating their skill set but I want to make sure my foundation is solid and complete. Advice Please. Thank you all.

For multi language sites, what is best - two domains or one with both languages?
We are assisting a client in setting up English and Spanish sites in Texas. They want to be able to find customers who are Spanish speaking predominantly or totally along with the customers they now get who are English speakers. We are building them a new site and I have researched to find answers all over the board or less than clear. Should the structure be such that we have one site with a set of English and Spanish pages all with Spanish links to Spanish pages and English links to English pages. Should we instead just have an English site for those people who utilize English and a different site for those who utilize Spanish? Thanks
