When you say you have had no problem ranking, what position would you consider to be satisfactory? Are the domains sharing the IP all the same theme, as in the same niche? Do you interlink them?

You also mentioned "when optimized correctly." Do you think your methods are practiced by the average webmaster? Have you ever tested to see what happens if you did put a site on a dedicated IP?
I'm skeptical about multiple IP's helping but I'm not foolish enough to claim for sure they don't. I was just wondering if anyone has tested this in any meaningful way so that I could look into it more.

I don't chase single word phrases and when I put a blog up it is with the intention to rank #1 for a specific phrase so that is what I consider satisfactory. I share the same everything because I'm extremely lazy, lol. Interlinking is done to kick them off but only to extremely relevant stuff. I don't ever trade traffic outside of my own websites.

Most webmasters probably don't optimize like I do but nothing I do is a secret. Good titles, good single site interlinking (thanks wordpress), good header text and important words being highlighted with underline or bold.

I've had sites on dedicated IP's and that is what I mean when I say I see no noticeable difference. I usually rank #1 for my main keyphrase and variations and do well on my non main keyphrases regardless of which IP setup I use. I do try to get links into my site but I do it naturally by giving people something to talk about. This might be the key ingredient that a lot of people are missing but it's a non issue for what I'm doing.
