Is Multiple IPs for Blog Network Necessary?
 

With Panda 2.0 out what is the consensus on the IPs for a blog network? I read class C block IPs are dangerous in post Panda 2.0 era as Google knows this trick.

Google can tell when your IPs come from the same host?

So you must have different hosts preferably in different countries and 3 to 5 IPs per host?

I read that its even dangerous to have all your domains at the same registrar?

What is the 2013 way to set up a blog network? I have read contradicting comments on this but no clear facts.

can only answer second question:

google has api access to namecheap if your using webmaster tools, so yes having domains beeing
on big gs blacklist and having them registered at namecheap may hurt your other domains too..
also i noticed myself sometimes beeing punished and every domain whatever niche on the same subnet as well even without interlinking..im sure they crosscheck registrar data i noticed its good to allways register every domain under a new name..

Not getting what you mean here, thought namecheap was an enom reseller and google had its own registrar. Why would namecheap hurt domains and why would google need an api to namecheap if it had its own registrar?

On my blogs I link to all my blogs using rel=me to tell spiders that I own all the sites.

Why try.

No, it isn't necessary.

If your sites are good, Google won't care that you have multiple ones.

What about blogs that are targeting mostly similar key words and promoting the same programs? Google says that it is going after anything spammy.

Also what the story on backlinks and linking blogs together?

agree, as long as its legit and not spammy, why trick google?

Your IP does not factor into a well built site that obeys the rules ...

I have several blogs - all sharing the same IP block, and many even the same IPs ... and I have several very decent SERPs ...

Google spells it out in black and white what they want to see, and what constitutes a good site that will please TPTB ....

But if your business model is built on trying to screw or trick Google with various methods of trickery and asshattery, then you'd better buy as many hosting packages on as many different networks as you possibly can, in order to try and always be one step ahead of Google. Good Luck!

People that sell "SEO Hosting" will tell you that you do, yet they never ever ever publish any white papers or evidence that what they are selling is anything more than Snake Oil.

Go figure.

>use google webmaster tools, add new domain, you get the possibilty to go approve
your domains with namecheap api via google instead of uploading an html file

>so if once you allowed google to access google your namecheap account they have your infos and other domains too ..easy as that..

of course you shouldnt do that but i made the mistake once just out of curiosity

as long as your not doing blackhat stuff it does not matter.

What the shit? I agree with something you've said. You're completely right but, fuck you.

Well if you watch the videos put out by Matt Cutts Google's Webspam Team manager they are going after anything spammy. Penguin 2.0 has affected a bunch of stuff but backlinks seem to be paramount. Linking blogs together could give you a penalty. I agree that not doing anything to trick google is key but what I'm seeing is people are not realizing that some subtle things like backlinks or simply a pageload of affiliate links can get you into trouble and its just beginning with updates happening slowly every few weeks. So I'm not sure some of the posts are going to be relevant now or 2014 as these changes keep rolling out.

"why would you have 20 domains?" sums up google's attitude to a T. This video is the first thing he has ever said that is truthful - which most likely means it doesn't matter a bit, after all.

I meant to ask this before, but I'm really curious on how MP's blog network does these days, with all that interlinking. Anyone know if they got hit, or are you around MP to tell us (if you want of course)?
