Sites on different servers/IP's
 

Do you think it makes a difference SEO wise by having sites on separate servers or IP's?

Im not going to stand up with my flashing neon "SEO Expert" sign but I don't think it really matters about how many sites or how many IPs are being used.

I dont think that having them all on one server/IP will hurt your PR per say, but if you inter-link all of them it will more than likely affect your link back weight.

If it looks spammy then it is spammy.

Most of the hosting companies offers cheap or even free IP for each domain.

The biggest difference it makes is in the amount of money you can charge for links amongst the crowd that believes that it makes a difference. For your own use, it's not going to make a difference.

Well-built pages and a solid host will make a greater impact when it comes to gaining SE traffic.

Thanks guys - I was reading some sites of "the crowd that believes that it makes a difference" and it got me thinking

But now I'll stop thinking :)

I have over 100 domains all on the same ip with interlinking and lots of SE rankings. That's all I have to go on. Maybe having different IPs would help, but I don't worry about it.

I used to think that IPs were important.

But you could say the same about whois info.... probably a more reliable way of associating sites together.
