AdultKing: My advice: forget about evidence that A or B or C effect your ranking.
Google (and other search engines) are in the business of indexing information. They take tons of data and filter out small amounts of information that they think is relevant to the end user who performs a search query.
As outsiders we have no way of knowing how exactly their algorithms work. We can make educated guesses, but we can never know for sure. We know they look for certain patterns (like for example the amount of inlinks), but we can never know exactly what patterns they are looking for, what kind of information they currently take into account and what information they might take into account in the future.
SEO is not about linkbuilding and writing content per se, it is all about managing information. Controlling as much as possible the information that is available about your sites. Hiding the fact that one person or organization owns and controls 100s or 1000s of sites in a certain niche. Manipulating the info out there (linkbuilding = manipulating data)...
If 500 sites each use a different IP address but they all have the same whois info or regdate or use the same nameservers or are registered with the same registrar or all have the same adsense cod eon them or all run the same cms or the same webserver with the same modules... than that is information Google might use to determine that those 500 sites might belong to the same person.
