Linking domains on same ip

[atohad]

I don't know if i can post a link in the question so if you google 800 appliance and do a little reaserch on them you will see that it has many links with same content linking to the main domain and to each other.

They hosted on the same ip which from what i read doesn't supposed  to help in ranking.

I saw many nich websites like this with the same idea.

What am i missing here...?

It all make sense but let look at one more

new york appliance repair . com also using the same technicque in over 30 cities all by liking all on same ip.

If you look at the competitors for example appliance - repair - ny . com that has almost 3000 links from different ips get lower rankings..

I'm looking on a way to dominate this niche in any cities and played with the idea but it seems like it too easy if that all that it took them to take over those niches.

To get good (valuable) link is always good. Even if it is from same IP it is better than no link at all. Of course it is my opinion but it is your call to get the link or not. Hopefully it helps ... I'm using link research tool from SEOMoz and it helps a lot.

According to http://ispionage.com they only rank for 23 search terms and most of them include the words 'san diego'. So they're not exactly an SEO machine (unless you're in San Diego and a competing appliance company, perhaps).

Many links from different domains on the same c-class IP address are devalued by Google. Likewise, mininets (a collection of sites that link to each other for the benefit of another site) I suspect are easily discovered and devalued by Google, too. These kinds of games lost their effectiveness several years ago.
