"Diverse" Links from same IP address worth the work?
-
Hi folks,
This is my first posting, so please be nice with me
I have completed an all-new website (www.buy-hosting.net) , however the domain is bought and already exists since 2 years, but has no inbound links though. Now I start building links.
I have some clients of my web design business, I could bring in links to my new site on their sites from different domains, some established and years old. However, they all are hosted at the same IP address. Is it a good idea for link diversity to post links on their site to my new one? I remember a thing, that only 1 link will be counted, originating from the same IP address. Is this worth the work of asking clients, posting links, etc.? Or is it even dangerous to my new site?
Also, any other ideas about how to start link building are welcome. Is there a comprahensive list, something like a "startes guide with practical ideas" to link building?
Thank you and kind regards

And you will benefit from that in the long run. Keep up the good work and drop me a message if you need any other help. Regards, Andy

Thank you Andy, I feel it was a good change as you say. I do not intend to spam with that site at all. In fact, I worked on it now for 5 months, programming, writing honest reviews, ect. The idea "I make everyone know that it's all about hosting" was overdone by me.
Kind regards

That has changed the whole appearance of the page
It looks less spammy, is less spammy and as such, you will find people feeling that when they visit. Altogether more professional!
Just make sure all other aspects are in order, Page Titles, Meta Descriptions, Alt Tags, etc., then write more content for the site that is all to do with the various hosting packages then link those hosting packages to their own niche articles.
Its a bit of work but you will reap the rewards!
Regards,
Andy

Dear Andy,
I changed the bottom links and the links on the left. If you see anything else, that could be helpful, I will greatly appreciate your opinion.
Kind regards

Thank you,
I will work on that and post here in 2 hours or so again.
Kind regards

If I were to build that page, I would remove all occurance of heavily repeated words and phrases. As Google themselves say, they know pretty quickly what you have to offer, you don't need to keep telling them.
This is what is called "keyword stuffing" and is classed as a black hat (unethical) technique used to try and trick the search engines into giving you a better rank.
I would have a primary heading "Choose Your Hosting Plan", or something like that, then those links down the left, I woud change just to the package on offer "Joomla", "Wordpress" etc.
If there is no Joomla behind the link (on the following page) then Google will not like this either as they will expect to see this, so maybe add some content on those pages to do with the hosting on offer.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Andy

Thank you Andy, your input is greatly appreciated.
Do you think, it would be enough to but away the links at the bottom completely and leave the links on the left like "Buy Joomla hosting", or would you also change these to only "Joomla". I mean, there is no "Joomla" behind the link, isn't that a wrong description?
Thanks
-
Of course.
If you look at your page, there are so many occurrences of the same links both at the left and the bottom, then you have the same words written multiple times "Buy" & "Hosting".
This will do you no favours at all. You would be much better off just titling these "Joomla", etc., without the additional words in there. The page looks spammy and I suspect that if Google comes across it, this will end up being a mark down for you.
Regards,
Andy

Dear Andy,
you write: "Before even looking at link building, I would take some time to sort your site out as it is a huge link fest in there!"
I don't really understand, what you mean with that. Could you please specify your comment or tell it in other words? What exactly would you do about my site and why?
Thank you
-
Before even looking at link building, I would take some time to sort your site out as it is a huge link fest in there!
And no, you dont want to be getting links back from the same class IP. Google is wise to this trick.

Andy

Hi TraxNYC,
Thank you for the links.
some of these domains are registered to the same person, most others are not. They are only at the same dedicated server on the same IP address.

We are moving to HTTPS and wanted to know if our link building efforts were in vain or will the link juice pass to HTTPS?
We are switching to HTTPS and want to make sure the links we've gotten in the past will still transfer since they are pointing to HTTP? I'd hate to go back through and ask people to please add an s to the link.

Been offered a no follow link on a blog post ?. Is it worth it ?
Hi All, We are having a go at doing our own link building and just wanted some advice on a couple of questions I've found some industry related blog sites which could be good but alot of them only offer a no follow link ?. Is this worth it ? And if ,so what is the advantage of having a no follow link ? as it won't directly help with our DA etc ? I've also noticed some of these sites link to each other or recommend each other (i.e other blog sites) which may be some sort of link network ?.. I take it this is bad ? and could be penalized by google ? thanks pete

Spammy Links in MOZ but when I go to the external link I can't find a link to us
I was going to try to contact webmasters to see if they would remove some of our spammy links. I see alot of them in MOZ but when you go to the site our anchor text is not there. Is this good? How often does MOZ refresh external links.

Linking from different IP, but same server, how much it can hurt?
Example, Have a site on 173.194.33.51 and site on 173.194.33.52, same server, different IP addresses, same network subnet. Make one link from site residing on 173.194.33.51 to site on 173.194.33.52 Can this hurt? Can it be beneficial if site on 173.194.33.55 has good PR?
