Should we get more IPs?
-
We have an IP with 2 of our major sites hosted on it.
Because we own both, we exchange links obviously.
The question is, won't Google see that we have these sites on the same IP and thus figure for themselves that they might be owned by the same owner. So the it is almost link reciprocal linking.
The solution, host all sites on separate IPs?
-
Thanx for the good response Harald and Robert. I agree.
Logically I know Google ranks domain names, not IPs. But technically I am sure they use that data.

I think Harald is correct. It is already known so leave it be. Besides, you are talking about two sites and the effect they alone have on one another for linking. Why go to the expense and bother to have multiple IPs and manage them when you can focus elsewhere and keep this as it is and manage from one screen?
In the agency business we were tempted and did for a very short while go to a multiple IP approach. We even went so far as to never register as ourselves when we got the client domain names, etc. But, in the end, even with lots of sites, it is a pain in the butt and not worth the hassle. Our time is better spent in constructive pursuits.
Good question though and great answer Harald. Edit, sorry, Harry!

I think if they are now hosted together google knows it anyway.
We always take care of this before we set up new projects (From my experience - we in our projects could not see any difference - I think if your projects are good and have value then it dos not matter if thy are on same IP or not. ( If u going to get different IP - don't do SEO Hosting - google will now that all this IP´s are going to the same location).

Thanx Herald.
They do not have the same DNS server or GA ID.

Hi Marcel,
are the websites using the same DNS and do the have the same page owner (same Analytics ID,....)Then don't think about another IP

Have around 260 links with about 60% of them junk.
Some links are from sig links on forums that I actually legitimately post to and from real comments I have made on the web over the years. Should all of these go? Was thinking of hiring a freelancer to do this or maybe going through an online tool if anyone has any suggestions? An example is this http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Era-of-Digital-Signage&id=6236852 Edit: Well I got a reply from ezine and from goarticles! They are removing the articles, maybe its becoming a headache for them all as, Sorry, GoArticles.com is no longer accepting new article submissions or account signups. We wish this wasn't the end, but unfortunately, it is and we aren't able to continue. You can download a backup copy of all of your submissions by logging into your existing account so that you can re-use your content on your own website or other competitor sites. Thank you for being a member and we're sorry that this site will be coming to an end shortly.1 -
Best five links to get first for a new website
I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

For a new site, does it matter which sites I get back links from first? I.e., are the first back links more important than later ones?
I've heard that when a site is new, the sources from which it gets its first back links are very important -- that the early links are more important for ranking than later links. Is this true. If so, what would be some good places to get these very first links? Thanks.

Hi, i have a competitor that is creating profiles in sites that passes ranks in links and putting some links with good anchor text in the bio field. This can be considered a black hat seo?
